You can buy curling irons from a beauty supply shop or online.
You can find a protective hair serum or spray at beauty supply stores, hair salons, in the beauty aisle of supermarkets, or online.
You can then clip one section of hair with a large clip. Make sure the section is out of the way so you can focus on the loose section first.
This step is especially useful for individuals with wavy hair who want to give their hair more of a controlled wave. Starting with smooth, straight hair will help the waves stick to your hair more effectively. You can also use a hair straightener or try a straightening balm.
Hold the hair in the curling iron for 10 seconds if your iron is set to a higher temperature and/or your hair is thin. Hold the hair in the curling iron for 20-30 seconds if your iron is set to a lower temperature and/or your hair is thick. Loosen your grip on the curling iron handle and pull the curling iron down to the end of your hair. Curl the same section of hair again to the top of your head, close to your roots. Hold the hair for 5 seconds, then gently release it.
If you have shorter sections of hair around your face, curl them one at a time. You can alternate the direction of the curls so they have a more wavy look. If you have bangs, brush your bangs to the side of your face where your hair naturally parts.
Another option is to flip your head upside down and use your fingers to loosen up the curls. Try to separate all the curls by running your hands through them. Check that the curls appear loose and wavy, rather than stiff and uniform. [15] X Expert Source Steven WaldmanProfessional Hair Stylist Expert Interview. 27 July 2021.
If you have straight, fine hair, you may want to use a volumizing or texturizing spray to give it some body. Apply a few spritzes of the spray, then use your fingers to lightly rub it into the ends of your hair.
