For instance, make your curls as soon as you get out of the shower.
If you want to create larger curls, use bigger sections of hair. If you want to make tighter, smaller curls, use smaller sections of hair. Use your dominant hand to create your curls, and use your non-dominant hand to help guide your hair.
Be sure there is no space in between your finger and your hair. Your non-dominant hand acts as an anchor to keep your hair straight and taut as you spin your hair. If you are having trouble wrapping short hair around your finger, use a pen, marker, or mascara tube instead! This still creates the same basic curl shape, though it may be easier to wrap your hair around another object rather than your finger. Use an object that you can wrap your hair around at least 2 times. [4] X Research source The length of your hair will determine how many times you’re able to wrap it. The shorter your hair, the fewer wraps you’ll be able to accomplish.
This creates soft, ringlet curls over all of your head.
Instead of voluminous curls, you will get a subtle, vintage wave hairstyle.
Once you finish the top section on one side, move to the top section on the other side. Then, repeat on the bottom sections on both sides until all your hair is pinned in place.
Hairspray helps keep your hair in a curled shape, helpful when creating gorgeous ringlets.
Alternatively, you can wrap your hair in a silk scarf if you do not have a cap. Simply place a silk scarf across the top of your head. Gather the ends of the scarf at the back of your head, and secure the scarf with 2 knots to keep it in place. Pull the ends of the scarf across your forehead and tuck them underneath the scarf near your eyebrow. [10] X Research source Make sure the scarf is secure, but avoid tying it too tight. A tight scarf could flatten your curls.
Starting from the back also helps you keep track of how many pins you still have left so you don’t get overwhelmed.
In addition, you can separate larger sections of curls to create multiple, smaller curls. Simply lift your curl up and divide it in half.
This is a great option if you want a vintage, wavy style, rather than a kinky, curly look. You can use either a medium- or wide-tooth comb.
Additionally, tease your hair about half way from the ends to give a full-bodied look, or tease your roots if you want a little extra lift. For best results, tease your hair with a fine-tooth comb.
