first if your hair is hard to curl use a curl enhancing shamoo condiotioner and spritzer like john freida, then take the curling iron, wrap it around half of your hair but not the very end, and turn it diagonally just do some small parts then seperate with your fingers, hot rollers are a good alternitive



here's a really good how to step by step video

get a big barrel curling iron

1) brush out your hair completely

2) use sunsilk de-frizz creme (in the green bottle)

3) let stand for 5 minutes

4) Start curling 1 inch wide groups of hair at a time, clipping backl the parts you have curled

5) to curl, hook curling iron up top by your head leaving 3-4 inches left before your scalp. Then wrap all hair around it, makig sure you dont layer is all up on the same place. Put every bit on a part with just as much heat as another part. Hold for 10-30 seconds (depending on your hair type, thick hair is 30, medium is 15, and thin is 10)

6) Do this for every 1 inch wide group on your head, being careful not to burn yourself

7) use hard curls gel, or any kind of gel to keep things in place (pretty much all gels)

8) Spray with extra hold hairspray and you should hair loose, free, delicious curls



Glad to help!

Rather than clamping down with the curling iron, wrap your hair around the curling iron. Also, product is key---use a curl enhancing mousse and texturizing spray prior to curling.
just take a piece of hair and wrap it in a spiral around the curling iron hold it for about 15seconds then after you are done spray with some mouse and anti frizz and u will be set..good luck
There are two ways of doing that

1) You can get a large curling iron and curl your hair (section your hair then grab a small section and curl) or



2) if you're using a small to medium curler, when you've curled your hair like normal, get a brush and just brush your curls gently until you've got your desired look!

Hope I helped!
oh thats easy. you just take a medium sized peice of hair and make sure is brushed out well then spray both sides of it lightly with hair spray. then curl it for about 20 seconds(depending on how good ur iron is) then break ur curls apart and spray them more. DONT BRUSH THEM OUT!
