I was constantly asked what tools I used to curl my hair and how I curl my hair. Here is a quick and easy guide to achieving those loose and effortless waves. Note that the flash results in my hair showing up more of a chocolate brown than my true ash brown color :(

1. Heat protector

I've been loving Bumble and Bumble's Hairdresser's Invisible Oil Primer. I spray this to damp hair before blow drying and to dry hair before curling to protect my hair from further damage. 

I split my hair in half and let it rest in front of my shoulders. The curled sections are then thrown over my shoulders, I have a great system in place hehe.

In about 3-4cm sections, I clamp a few centimeters away from the root of the hair and curl away from my face, opening and closing the clamp whilst rotating to collect more hair until I've covered the entire length. I repeat this on the other side. I find that curlers with clamps are great for beginners and less fiddly i.e. less burns to the fingers for all you people in the clumsy club with me.

                     
It should look something like this...


4. Let down the rest of the hair 

Once again, curl away from the face but starting from the back of the head, making your way towards the front of the face. Your fringe and front sections should be the last to be curled. Remember my curl and throw behind the shoulder system!
