Making Gorgeous Curls & Keeping them

Curls are back so it's time we have a tutorial on how to create the curls and waves.  Shampoo and condition with bodifying/volumizing products preferably with thermal barriers because your hair is going to get hit with some thermal tools.  Apply styling products from roots to ends that helps to create volume and protects the hair from thermal damage.  Blow dry your hair flipping your head over to get the most fullness.  You don't need a brush if you blow dry upside down just tousle your hair.  If you prefer to blow dry upside right, use a brush to lift hair up away from your scalp.  When your hair is completely dry section your hair starting in the nape using 1" sections.  Spray the section with a thermal setting spray then curl the hair starting mid shift into the scalp and gently work the hair through the iron until all the hair from scalp to ends has been curled.  Releasing the hair from the iron carefully, keep the hair in its shape by pinning the curl through the middle with a pronged clip to let it cool.  Continue with the same size sections up the head spraying before  and after curling it, pinning every section.  Starting in the nape remove the clips letting the curls fall.  When all the clips have been removed, spray curls again! Get a small amount of paste, emulsify in your hands and run your hands through your hair gently breaking up the ringlets.  Finally use your shine spray and firm holding hair spray to finish.
