Yesterday I was thinking, we really need a way to show each
kind of curl. Not the natural curls that you get from good genes, but
the kind you strive for when using your curling iron, wand or even a
flat iron. I think this will be helpful moving forward so that when I
post hair new tutorials I have a specific post to point to and reference
the type curl I’m using to get that hairstyle. In this post, we’re only
using a 1″ barrel curling iron because this isn’t about iron size, it’s
about curl method and what type of curl each technique produces. Okay,
let’s make a “Curl Catalogue”, shall we?This is the kind of wave you find in our EVERYDAY WAVES video. You start at the top or middle and inch your way down. This is my go-to all time favorite way to curl because it’s so easy and quick. You also get a little extra hold when you start from the middle or top because you’re applying iron heat directly to that portion of the hair, which will help so much with hold. I specifically love this because if you have any frizz, the clamp, which is also hot, presses the hair to seal both sides, unlike a wand where you would have one side open (but we’ll get to that below).
This is one of my least favorite curling methods for anyone with bob length or longer, and it’s usually the one we’re taught first by our sisters, aunts, grandmas, moms, best friends, etc… when we’re young. You’d think it would make sense to start at the bottom and curl upward, but curling from the ends up puts most of the heat on the ends and very little on the middle which is where we need it most. Long run, this just dries out your ends and curl will fall out much quicker than it will if you use the “middle to ends” method up top. This curl is bottom heavy and will tend to make anything longer than bob length hair look super “triangular”. Know who this IS great for though– women with short hair who want a fuller “roller set” look.
