 Place glove on the hand in which you hold the hair. Select a small even strand of hair to place in a curl. Place the base of the curling iron handle near the scalp of your head with tip facing down. Wrap the hair from the base of the curling iron to the tip in a downward direction. Hold for 2 to 5 seconds. Without pulling the curling iron down, release the hair from tip allowing the hair to slide out. Slide the curling iron out of the hair. DO NOT pull it down; it will make the curl tangle.

Now you know the Brands  what the Heck do they do???

 IF this is the look your wanting that messy wave look with just alittle softness to the curl...I rec. A wand iron or a 1 to 3/4 inch Iron ...Just spray thermal protector on hair ,or hairspray,non damage no sticky so it wont build up on iron....Wrap 1 inch sections around iron leave about inch away from scalp and ends in fingers.

If a softer more romantic look is what your going for use a 1 1/2 inch barrel iron.then with a soft brush ,brush out the curls into this look.........

    For this loose curl look 1 inch Barrel iron wrapped around loosely,finger style with shiny serum or light paste.

Curl Hair with about 2 inch barrel iron then shake out,smooth with paste or serum of choice just not to heavy or stickty sprays

Flip chic looks are Done with Flat Irons beveling The wrist outward..no iron work here..wax as finisher

          

 look was done with a curling wand wrapped around small end

of iron ,just shine serum ran throughout no separation...

 1  inch iron shake out curls pin in place..............

1 to 1 3/4 inch Iron wrapped shake it out............

SO there ya go! Happy curling iron shopping!!!!!
