How To: Faking “Natural” Curls

info curlisto • October 14, 2016

Everybody always says that they “wish they had my hair”. Normally when someone tells me this I thank them while internally screaming in their general direction that if they had my huge, unmanageable curls they would likely regret this statement. However, to be fair, we always want what we don’t have. That’s what is so great about being a woman. If you want straight hair, you can have it. Long hair? That’s possible too. Bangs? Get yourself a clip on a la Kendall Jenner. And curls are a possibility too. Here is our “How To” on how to fake the natural curly hair that you weren’t born with.

Step 1: Pick your iron – Different types of irons produce different types of curls. A ceramic iron may produce minimal damage but a tourmaline iron produces silkier curls. A 2″ iron is good for long hair where a 1″ is perfect for short and so on.

Step 2: Pick your curl – The way you wrap your hair around the wand matters. You can twist your strand before wrapping it to create mermaid like waves or you can lay it flat for Shirley Temple like spirals.

Step 3: Air dry your hair – Don’t blow dry; your curls will look more natural if you allow them to dry naturally prior to styling.

Step 4: Finish your curls right! Curlisto Finishing Spray will keep your curls lasting longer and allow you to go about your day as if you really were born with them. And don’t forget to prep hair with Curlisto Repair Cream to keep your hair healthy while exposed to heat!

Happy weekend everyone!
