My hair is really thick, so it is very hard to work with sometimes. Sometimes, after I use the curling iron on it, it looks like I just rolled out of bed. Any suggestions? Much appreciated, thanks!Does anyone know how to use a curling iron on thick, shoulder-length hair?

1 word curlers i have hair like your and the iron makes light curlers but what you need is to take a shower dont blow dry ur hair just towel dry it (make sure its really dry NOT wet) then by curlers from the store the big one are for big curles small for small by big curlers right when they dry fully and get curled right away go crazy with the hairspray put a bunch on when ur done i might look like this

but again this curls are smaller so they were made with smaller curles
hope this helped :)
the same way you would do with any other hair just take smaller sections you can curl sections the same way and twirl them around your finger and they should blend together and make the section look bigger.
Before you curl your hair, follow these steps:
-Separate layers of the hair, even if you do not have layers.
-Make sure you don't make the layers too thick, or too thin.
-Curl the bottom layer %26amp; Spray hairspray to hold in place.
-Let down the next layer, and so on...
*Remember! Don't spray too much hairspray! It'll make your hair look sticky and oily.
And to not get that ';Just got out of bed look'; Use heat protectant because it will not make it frizzy.
If the curls were too tight and burnt your hair too make it look frizzy, make the
curls more loose; i recommend a bigger curler, and curling bigger strips of hair instead.
and if it is too loose, when you curl take smaller peices of hair to curl.
Well, I hope this really helps you out !! Happy Holidays !! =)
