1. Prepare your hair

Start by spraying your hair with a heat protectant to shield it from the heat of the curling iron and ensure your curls last longer.


2. Section your hair

Divide your hair into sections and clip them out of the way so you're not tangled in strands while curling.

3. Curl your hair

Take a small-to-medium section of hair at a time, and wrap it around your curling iron.


The amount of time you hold it is up to you. Just a few seconds will give you loose waves, or you can hold it longer for tighter curls.
