DIY Tips For Curling Your Hair

Do you think it is so terrible? That if you spend hours putting your hair in the curl, your curls sagging in no time or that it will look like an exploded bird's nest? In this blog we give you some tips for curling your hair to get a perfect coupe full of beautiful curls that do not sag.

Tip 1: Provide a good basis

Before you even start styling, make sure your hair is well washed! Preparing your hair well, or preparing your hair for styling, is a must for a good foundation. It is actually the foundation for your coupe. The most important thing is to apply a good product and distribute it well before you blow dry the hair well. Preferably a product that gives protection against the heat and also gives a good grip to your hair. We are fans of the Mister Fantastic by EVO, a good blowout spray that gives your hair grip and is heat resistant!

Tip 2: Go for the right temperature

You should adjust the temperature of the curling iron well to your own hair type. Do you have fine, colored and damaged hair? Then go for a temperature of max. 180 degrees, so you have less risk of damaging your hair. It is also important that you do not leave the picking around your curling iron too long! Is your hair normal to fat and do you already have some texture? Then you can increase the temperature, find a good temperature between 180 and 200 degrees. Each hair responds differently to a curling iron and each curling iron is different. So if you still can not save it at 180 degrees, put him a few degrees higher.

Tip 3: Curl the right direction

Before you put the curling iron in your locks, first determine where you want your divorce. This way you can curl the curls in a certain direction. Are you going for a natural look? Curl your locks around your face than from your face, the rest you can alternate perfectly. For a loose curl you hold the curling iron vertically and for a tighter curl you hold it horizontally.

Tip 4: Turn your lock around the curling iron

Do you clamp the tip of your lock in your curling iron and then turn it up? Do not! This is not very good for the quality of your hair. For a natural look, do it exactly the other way around. Take a lock and turn it around the curling iron, do not completely curl the tip, only give it a 'touch' before you release the lock from the curling iron. Do you want an even better result? Let your lock move over the curling iron during curling; this way you distribute the heat better.

Tip 5: Use the correct curling iron

For us an absolute do not ... is a curling iron with cover! Do you have one with a cover? Do not panic, keep the cover open while curling or just screw it off! Also, a too large curling iron is not always useful. If you just go for a medium format, you can still make a loose coarse curl. Just pick a somewhat larger piece. Your curls will always sag a little, so no panic if you find your curls too small or too tight. Still struggling to find the right curled section?

Tip 6: Let your hair cool down

Ready with curls? Take a cup of coffee, because your hair can really cool down. If necessary, you lock the curl with a clip, this gives you some extra hold. Once it has cooled down properly, you can use it with your fingers or with a brush. If you go through it with your fingers, this creates a messy curl, if you choose a brush, you go more for a smooth wave. Then spray a nice finishing varnish over your locks, the best thing is to use one that is not too stiff. It is also nice to do this while curling. Ready with the first pair of locks? Spray them already with a workable varnish. Use the lacquer in moderation, of course you do not want your curls to collapse due to excessive use of your finishing product.
