Answer 1

Shampoo and condition your hair very well and brush with your wide toothed comb and/or brush. Make sure there are no knots!

Apply a small amount of conditioner and anti-frizz serum (anti-frizz serum is optional). Rub the products in very well until you can't see them in your hair anymore.

If your hair is naturally wavy let it air dry or blow dry your hair with a comb using anti-frizz serum.

Turn on the curling iron or curling irons that you plan to use.*

While the curling irons are warming up, separate your hair into three sections by pulling two sections to each side of your face leaving the third section to be the back.

Clip up two of the sections, leaving one down. Curl the first section, starting toward the back of your head and working your way to the front. When you put your hair in the curling iron it should look like a spring that is coiled around the curling iron. If you have two different sizes of curling irons use the larger one to curl the bottom layer of your hair and the smaller one to curl the top.

Spray that section with your hairspray and gently clip it away from the rest.

When you finish all of the sections, take out any clips or scrunchies you have holding the section and spray your hair all over with hairspray one more time.

Tips:

* Make sure you tussle your hair throughout the day to give it more body with a relaxed look to it yet it looks bouncy.

* don't make the curling iron go all the way up to your head or it will look too curly

* Use maximum hold hair spray to keep your style in all day.

This is a hard one to explain, but here it goes. I would use a 1-1/2 inch barrel depending on how your hair holds a curl (if it doesn't hold well, use a smaller barrel). Then hold your iron above your head with the barrel pointed down. Take chunks of hair and wrap it around the barrel with your fingers (don't use the iron to roll it). Wrap your hair around in a downward spiral. After doing your whole head I would flip the hair and tousle it a bit to give it the windswept look. Make sure you use hairspray as you go. That's how I do it anyway.

you take the size of curler that you want the spiral curls to be and then you should put each piece of hair...like the very end at the bottom of the curler. then you should wrap your hair around the curler and try to keep the curler pointed upwards. each curl just needs a spray of hairspray when you have your hair wrapped around the curler. its very easy.lol

i would use a 1 inch barrel. i would take the curling iron, pointing upward, and curl your hair like you are flipping it out, but instead, curl it all the way up. then when you pull it out, weave the iron in a circle motion as you move it down out of your hair. curl all of your hair, let it cool down, and put a little hairspray on it. too much will make it sticky. i used to do my hair like that all the time before i cut it.

Answer 5

You can buy a spiral curling iron and also you could used spiral perm rods.
