Product Information

I started the Curly Girl Method a few months ago and read about this numerous times from other curly girls. If you want to avoid an indentation from the clip on your hair, try placing a tissue in between the pin and the hair. I thought the same until I discovered the Curly Girl Method a few years ago (a technique—nay, a way of life—for getting truly excellent curls) and found that a main component of getting said perfect curls was hair gel. Spraying before wrapping instead of after will also result in curls that are softer and less “crunchy.

She regularly tests curly hair gels, mousses, and creams for efficacy, and worked with the industry’s top hairstylists and cosmetic chemists to assess new formulas and brands for this story. There are many different curling products available which you can use to scrunch your hair, such as curling sprays, gels and creams. If it does, then it’s too cleansing and doesn’t contain enough moisturising ingredients for your hair texture. I usually shower, shampoo, towel dry my hair, load them on, tightly, close to my scalp, then air dry for an hour then use a blow drier while they're still in. Small curlers will give you lots of tight curls, whereas large rollers will give you big loose waves and are great for adding volume.We know, this sounds a bit odd, but toilet paper rolls can give you gorgeous and voluminous no-heat curls within an hour or less. After you apply conditioner, brush your hair with a wide-toothed comb and try to get out all the major knots. Anyone with stubbornly straight hair knows that it can be a total pain to create curls when you want them — and it can be an even bigger pain to keep them intact for more than a few hours. Curling wands can vary in shape, with some the same thickness from the handle down to the tip, and others tapering at the end.

It has three heating settings that go up to 200 degrees centigrade and the curler is ready to use in 60 seconds.Once your hair is 100 percent dry (whether that’s via diffusing, air-drying, or using a hooded dryer), gently scrunch your hair up toward your scalp with your hands, scrunching section after section until the crunch is gone and the cast is broken ( check out this tutorial for a visual). Silicones, though, they get a bad rap, yet they do such an amazing job protecting curls from heat damage, humidity and frizz.
