First step: Wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner and blow dry.



Loose curls: if you want a loose, wavy look instead of clipping the hair into the curling iron and twirling it around, take you hair in your hand and wrap it around the curling iron. Leave it on there for 5-15 seconds, depending on how tight you want the curl. This is the best way to do it because it is easy and you have more control over your hair. In my opinion, clipping the hair in the curling iron and curling it is a pain.



Tight Curls: Do the same thing for loose curls but have someone else do it. Keep the hair curled around the curling iron longer. These curls will be tighter.



The bigger the curl you want, the bigger the curling iron. I suggest having a thinner one and a wider one for different curls. Make sure when you are wrapping the hair around the curling iron you do it in different directions each time so it looks more natural. Once you're done put some shine or de-frizz hair product in your hair. Don't use gel or hairspray; it's bad for your hair because it has alcohol in it.



Good luck! I hope this helps.

okay take the curling iron and put it in the middle of your hair. have your hair parted so you curls won't be everywhere. start from the back and work your way up. now part your hair into one small section. start from the middle of the section you parted then move your hair in a sprial motion. causing the hair to rap around the iron. for tight curls hold the iron longer and closer to your scale. for loose curls do just the opposite. when you get to the front of your hair take a damp towel and put it on your forehead so you won't burn your self. if the front does not come out right headbands will work perfectly. oh and personaly, i perfer tight curls

Well if you want loose curls, use a bigger barrell curling iron.. I would try a 2inch or larger.. If you want tight curls.. I'd try a 1 inch or 1 1/2 inch barrell.

If you want very tight curls. Then go and use a 1/2 inch barrel.. make sure you curl it all the same way.. if not it will looked jacked up..

make your own spiral rollers with sponges (cut into long strips) and aluminum foil.

spray your damp (not wet) hair with a curling spray and comb through.

use 2 inch sections and wrap sponge around the hair from ends to scalp. bend the ends in so it stays.

dry under a dryer, blowdry or let air dry. (blowdry as a last resort)





i'm a hairstylist. we ran out of the professional type spiral rods one day doing prom updos. i came up with this idea and used it (sometimes you just got to do what needs to be done). it ended up working better that the professional ones.

lesson learned on my part.

for loose curls:



1. grab a section of your hair and wrap it arounf the curling iron. wait about 2-5 minutes.

2. once your whole head is curled, grab some mousse or styling serum, and grab big sections of your hair and scrunch them.



for tight curls:

1.repeat step 1

2. once your whole head is curled, just put some hairspray.



hope i helped a little!

The loose curls are easy. Spritz a little volumeizer on your hair...always curl dry.....the volumizer will help hold it in....



then section your hair.....



Use a big curling iron....curl all of it and when you are done just run your fingers through it.



Don't use a brush or a comb....it will flatten it.



Try not using a lot of product in your hair....the product will weigh your hair down.

Take a shower formerly you visit mattress, than get a hair tie or scarf, and placed your hair in a bun. once you awaken the subsequent morning, take the Tie out and you hair might desire to be curly/ Wavy. or you could go away it on a million/12- 2 hours particularly of the evening.

Who is this Miley person?



Anyway...curls like that can only be achieved by someone who is born with them or a professional hairdresser.
