Curls and waves are all the rage this season. The following info will help you learn everything you need to know to create beautiful curls . Whether you want soft curls or beachy waves the right iron and styling products make all the difference. If you have short or hard to curl hair, you would benefit from a small iron. If you already have naturally wavy hair, choose an iron that's the size of the waves you want to end up with.
Prepping your hair with the correct products it the key to success. Always use a heat protective spray before you use heat appliances.
Do not over heat your hair! 10 seconds is all it takes to create a curl. If you can feel the heat on your hair, remove the iron.
Start at the roots and wind the hair down and around. Don't clamp the curling iron at the ends and wind up.
The right techniques creates the perfect look. If you are looking for voluminous curls, keep the iron horizontal, parallel to the floor. Take large sections about 2-3 inches. If you want to maintain length and achieve a more consistent wave from root to tip, hold the iron vertically and take smaller sections. Also, watch the way you roll....generally, we recommend rolling the hair away from the face. This is good for those with a smaller face shape and it opens up the neckline and creates more movement. If you want to soften your jawline, you can curl hair in towards your face.
Remember, you can always come into Hairthurium and have a styling session. We also sell professional irons and heat styling products.
