Hi

I have thin/silky hair and I just washed my hair. Now I need to curl it for tomorrow.

I have a medium heat curling Iron and a "got2b in control" hair spray (not very strong hold, but not that bad either).

Can anyone give me tips to make my hair have nice curly look?

Its cut in layers and shoulder length. My curling iron is 1 inch in diameter.

Thanks

Make sure that when you wrap your hair around the barrel, you hold it for long enough.

Sometimes to avoid the "crimp" that the end of the curling iron leaves, I wrap my hair around the entire barrel. I don't even bother using the lever thing.

If your hair does not hold a curl very well, then turn up the heat A LOT. It's either that, or you'll have limp curls.

If you're going to sleep with curly hair, be sure to put enough hairspray in to hold it. Maybe get some kind of shower cap/sleeping cap to hold your hair. Otherwise, your curls could get smooshed.

Do you have naturally STRAIGHT HAIR or what? I have very straight hair that doesn't hold a curl well - I've attempted to curl it the night before to save myself the trouble in the morning and it absolutely doesn't work.

If you need to set your hair the day before, try hair rollers.

If you want spiral curls, then while your hair is wet, wrap your hair with pencils and clip them there until your hair dries and take them out. An old trick my grandmother taught me. And if you want larger curls, then use your straightener to curl your hair. My hairstylist used a small straightener to curl my hair and my hair was so beautiful and curly for the seasonal dance I went to. It stayed since 10 am to 11 pm. Which was surprising since my hair is thin and silky also.

if u want more of a modern look then bump it under. or curl your hair under. If your looking for more of a retro look then curl your hair in swirls so it can be spiral curly

Do you have foam rollers? Run to K-Mart to get some - they are pretty inexpensive. If not foam, some other type of set-when-wet rollers. We your hair, roll your hair in the rollers (if you use foam, do not wrap the hair tightly as this will give you horrible looking kinks!), then throw a sleeping cap over them (if you don't have one, use a clean pair of undies - it looks absurd, but works!)

This should give you a stonger/longer lasting curl for tomorrow! Good luck!

Rollers work better than a curling iron honestly. Right now while your hair is wet you should roll sections of hair in thick rollers and then thin rollers so you have different curls and the next morning (the day you need them) you unroll them, tousle your hair and DON'T brush since it will cause extreme fizz and use aerosol can hair sprasy to spray it down to hold it all day. Curling irons don't let your hair hold that long even with hair spray.

The best way to retain your curls is to wrap the ends of your hair starting at the tip of the iron instead of the base, so when you let it go the hair ends fall through the spiral of hair you've created.

Let the hair cool still in the spiral formation, do not brush through it while warm.

Also, when you spiral curl you should alternate directions. This will make it look more natural. So twist your iron toward your head for one curl, then away from your head for the next.

Also spray your hair with an aerosol hairspray before curling. Do not use spritz, it's too heavy. I would recommend Treseme.

Invest in a GHD straightening iron you can curl, str8n %26amp; flick with this amazing little machine. But if you cant then the best advice i can offer you is DONT WASH YOUR HAIR, the dirtyer the better for holding a smooth curl. Try and dirty it up a bit. And then just curl as usual with ya curling tong, spray a very fine mist of your h/spray on each section before you curl (becareful not to saturate it, if you can feel it you have put to much in. H/spray is not the best product for this but we are working with what you have) Curl and then twist the finished curl around your finger and so on, spray finished style with h/spray. Remember curls drop over time, if they look a bit springy at first in an hour or 2 it will look perfect
