How to Get Adorable Curls with Minimal Effort

This is what my hair usually looks like after doing this.
Going out for a big night and want cute, sexy curls that will grab everyone's attention?

Begin by working at the bottom of your hair.  Place the top half of hair securely in a clip to keep in out of the way.  LIGHTLY spray hair with some hairspray.


Hold the iron vertically so that your hands are above your head and the bottom of the iron is pointing towards the floor.  Take a section of hair, brush it, and then wrap it around a 1 inch curling iron.  Notice I said wrap it around the curling iron... don't do it the old fashioned way by actually clipping your hair in the iron and rolling it up that way, unless you want that look.  By wrapping it around, it takes far less time and creates a more sexy/sultry look.


 I wrap it so that the hair will be going away from my face.  Hold hair around the iron for about 10 seconds.  Release your grip on the hair and let it fall off of the iron.  (Do not unwind the hair from the iron, doing so may mess up the curl you've made).  Then run your fingers through the curls you've made.  Lightly spray hair while gently scrunching.


Repeat the above step on the opposite side of the bottom.  Remember this is the bottom section of your hair, which will not be seen much, so you don't have to spend a lot of time on it and it doesn't have to be perfect.


Release the remaining hair from the clip.  Do the same thing as you did underneath and make sure that you are curling the hair in the same direction.  Each side should be going away from your face.  


After I am finished curling all of the pieces that I want curled, I usually run my fingers through all of it once of twice, re-curl or add any curls where I think they may be needed (this adds volume and more defined curls) and then I lightly spray my hair.  Done!  Now you should have a beautiful head of curls.


I naturally have a bit of wave to my hair, so on days where I don't want to spend a lot of time doing my hair, I simply place a few curls here and there, run my fingers through all of my hair to blend it so that I have a beach sexy look.


Recommended hair sprays:
I LOVE Aussie, it smells great and maintains your curls.  I usually apply this at the end because hair can be hard to fix after you've applied it. 

I also really like Herbal Essences Body Envy Volumizing Hairspray.  It adds a lot of shine and you can still work with your hair after you've sprayed it in because it doesn't make it too sticky.
