Voluminous, shiny curls look gorgeous on any hair length, colour, and texture. If you weren’t blessed with naturally curly hair, achieving an “effortless wave” or “natural curls” is no easy feat. Trying to create these “I woke up like this” looks can be extremely time consuming and require a lot of effort when you are unsure of what to do.
Achieving the perfect curls doesn’t have to leave you wanting to pull out your hair. Here’s our step-by-step guide to creating perfect curls and achieving your desired end result.
What you will need:
Curling Wand
Sectioning clips
Heat Protectant Spray (We recommend Organic Colour Systems Thermal 2 Twenty spray)
Comb
Follow these steps:
We recommend starting with clean and dry hair. This gives your hair some texture and helps keep the curl bouncy.
Before you start curling, spray Organic Colour Systems Thermal 2 Twenty spray onto dry hair. This heat protecting mist helps fight frizz, heat damage and gives a subtle sheen to your hair.
Comb the product through your hair.
Next, section your hair, by dividing it into two parts. Grab your sectioning clip and clip up any hair which is above your ears and ensure it is out of the way.
Grab your curling wand and divide the bottom section of hair into smaller parts. The larger the section of hair will result in a bigger curl. We recommend to take a 1-inch section of hair.
Then wrap your section of hair around the wand and hold onto the end of your hair - be careful not to burn your fingers.
*TIP* - When wrapping the hair, try to curl away from your face and hold for a few seconds then release, this will give the look of natural, softer, and voluminous curls.
Continue curling the bottom section away from your face.
Follow this process up the head, working your way towards the crown.
Then repeat the following process on the sides working your way to the part. Ensuring you are curling away from the face for a more natural look.
Gently comb the curls out and position your hair to where you would like it to sit.
