Whats the best way to curl your hair?

i have never curled my hair before and i want to curl it for haloween(:



my hair is naturally very straight and im guessing probably wont curl very easily..

i have a very old curling iron that was my sisters... and well.. i dont really know how to use it...



so can anybody tell me what the best way to curl hair with a curling iron or mabye other ways too??Whats the best way to curl your hair?
Your should spray some hairspray on your hair first then curl it with a curling iron, the hairspray makes it stay curled long.Whats the best way to curl your hair?
OK, well with minimal time and minimal details about your hair type, this is my best advice.



Put your hair in sections and pony each one. Work one section at a time.



1. Turn on the iron and let it get hot. It doesn't matter if you hair is straight. What matters is if it is thick or thin. The thinner your hair, the lower the setting needs to be.

2. Apply a styling serum/cream/spray to your hair before putting the curling iron on it.

3. When you begin curling, comb out a half inch by 3 inch section of hair and clamp the hair mid-way through the strands. The curler should be at about a 45 degreee angle.

4. Pull the curling iron to your ends and then curl your hair up to the root.

5. Hold the curling iron in that position for 10-15 seconds. Let your hair fall. If you didn't get any curl, then do it again and hold it for longer. Figure out how long it takes your hair to curl.



You should be able to do that through your whole head. The only additional note is that when you get to the hair right next to your face, start paying attention to what direction you are curling your hair in. I'd advise that you curl away from your face to achieve the wind-swept look.



AND IF YOUR HAIR SMELLS LIKE IT IS BURNING, THEN STOP and reset the curler to a lower setting!!!
my hair is naturally wavy. not like super wavy tho. just a few waves. waht i do is when i get out of the shower, DONT BRUSH YOUR HAIR, you will never get it even close to wavy/curly if you brush your hair. then scrunch it really good with gel or mousse. then get like 6 ruber bands and twist your hair up into buns all over your head and spray it with a good amount of hair spray. leave it in for 30-45 minutes then take it out gently and dont brush it at all. just keep scrunching it everynow and then with hair spray till it is dryish. i do this and it really works (: heres a video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLHcVeyd5
The healthiest way to curl your hair is by using pins and plastic curlers, found at Walgreen or Rite-Aid. They come in large, medium or small sizes of 12.



They've sold them for ages, and I still have mine. It won't damage your hair, from heat and no chemicals.
You could use hot hair curlers.They work like a charm. Or after you shower, brush your hair, put a little gel in it, scrunch it, and then blowdry it upside down! :] I do it, and it makes my hair very wavy and curly, too.



Hope it works! :)
sponge rollers *walmart, target...*. wet you hair before you go to bed. roll your hair. unroll in the morning. you will have great curls.
you could use a straightner..type in curling hair with straightner at youtube
