I have a conair curling iron that lets you control the heat.
I also have thick, sort of wavy, long hair. I really want to curl it instead of putting it in the usual ponytail. The thing is the curls don't stay even after a use a strong hairspray!
I'm afraid of burning my hair and the most heat I put the iron on is 3 (max. is 20). Should I crank up the heat?

Make sure your hair is 100% completely dry. It'll also hold better if it is NOT freshly washed. So do your hair normally in the morning then curl it before going out at night. Use a hairspray for high-humidity conditions, one without water in the ingredients. Tresemme makes a good one, so does Big Sexy Hair.
If that still doesn't work, switch to hot rollers. Conair makes a great set for under $30, they're purple with velvet, and nice and thick. Heat them up, put them in, and take them out when they're cool.How to properly curl my hair with curling iron?
