There are several techniques you can use to curl your hair, each offering different results depending on the look you want to achieve. Here are some of the most popular methods:

1. Curling Iron

• How: Wrap sections of hair around the barrel of the curling iron, hold for a few seconds, then release.

• Results: Defined, bouncy curls.

• Tips: Use different barrel sizes for looser or tighter curls. Always curl away from your face for a more natural look.

2. Flat Iron (Hair Straightener)

• How: Clamp a section of hair with the flat iron, then twist and pull it downwards to create a curl.

• Results: Soft, beachy waves or curls.

• Tips: For more defined curls, make sure the flat iron is at a 90-degree angle to the hair. Hold for a few seconds before releasing.

3. Flexi Rods

• How: Wrap damp hair around the flexi rods and leave them in to air dry or use a blow dryer for faster results.

• Results: Soft, defined curls with lots of volume.

• Tips: For tighter curls, use smaller sections of hair or smaller rods. Leave in for a few hours or overnight.

5. Braid or Twist Curls

• How: Braid or twist damp hair into several sections, then leave it overnight to dry. In the morning, undo the braids or twists to reveal curls.

• Results: Loose, beachy waves or tighter curls depending on the size of the sections.

• Tips: The smaller the braids or twists, the tighter the curls. You can also use this method with dry hair for more relaxed waves.

• How: Wrap sections of hair around the barrel of a curling wand (without a clamp), hold for a few seconds, then release.

• Results: Loose, beachy waves or more natural curls.

• Tips: Curl in different directions to add texture, and leave the ends out of the barrel for a more relaxed, tousled look.
