2. Using a 1 1/2" curling iron, curl the bottom half of your hair away from your face.
3. This is what mine looks like after I curl it. I curl the bottom half pretty loose to preserve the length and help it lay better once it's all curled.
4. Let down the top section. This time spray each section individually before you curl it to make sure every section gets a good amount of hairspray.
5. Continue to curl your hair away from your face, curling directly up and back on the very top.
6. Crispy curls! If anyone is considering just leaving it like this, I forbid it. This step is important though, using a lot of hairspray is what will give you a lot of body.
7. Using a brush or a comb, brush out your curls, brushing back and away from your face. If you used a really stiff hairspray, this will be impossible! I recommend using Kenra or another flexible hold hairspray.
The result? Soft with a lot of movable volume.





So beautiful! LOVE your blog!

ReplyDeleteLove your blog, so helpful! Just a few questions, I have stick straight hair that NEVER holds curl and I was just wondering how it holds? Also do you do it on second day hair or freshly washed? Thanks for all your help!

ReplyDeleteYou have the most gorgeous hair ever! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the color!!
ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful hair. Do you have any advice for very thin straight hair???
ReplyDeleteWow! What a pretty amazing look!
ReplyDeleteJust one question: Can you somehow achieve this look with a smaller curling iron? Mine is about 1 inch thick and is smaller at the end. I can't really invest into a bigger one, so it would be great, if you had some tips for me!
Thank you for sharing all this beautiful looks and greetings from Germany!
This looks fantastic!
ReplyDeleteCute but my hair does this naturally. I will have to look elsewhere for cute hairstyle that I can do *sigh*
ReplyDeleteare you the same chick from "2 girls 1 cup"? you look vaginally familiar
ReplyDeletedid my hair like this today and i absolutely LOVE it!!! thank you so much for this step by step i could never figure out how to curl my hair but now i can and it looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeletei do have a quick question, what sizes of curling irons would you recommend owning??
I have a 1/2 inch and a 1 1/2 inch, then I use the flat iron for every other kind of curl.
DeleteI love your hair colour. Do you think it would be suitted for a green eyed person with a pale complexion? I have a problem in finding the perfect hair coulour for me.
ReplyDeleteWould this work on medium length hair using a 1 1/4" curling iron?
