Question:
How can I curl my straight hair at home and make the curls stay in for the whole day? Jenny.
Answer:
Curling tongs are great for creating spring-like curls. Use small-diameter tongs for short hair or to make tight curls, and large tongs to create looser curls.
After shampooing with a volumising shampoo, towel dry and apply a volumising or thickening spray. Roughly blow-dry hair until it’s 70 percent dry, then clip up the top layers so you can dry the layers beneath. Use a medium, round bristle brush and dry one section at a time.
Start at the nape of the neck and divide hair into 2cm sections. To make your curls last, lightly spritz each section with hairspray, then comb to remove any tangles or product build-up.
Using curling tongs, gently wind hair around the barrel, section by section, rolling from the ends up. Hold for three to 10 seconds, depending on the heat level and your hair texture. Repeat until all hair is curled, then apply a gloss spray.
Once the curls have cooled, run your fingers through to loosen and place them randomly. If you want to lift the roots, backcomb and spritz with natural-hold hairspray.
