- Prepare your hair by washing and drying it completely.
- Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair to protect it from the damaging effects of high heat.
- Turn on the curling iron and let it heat up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Separate the hair into sections using clips, hairpins.
- Take a section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron, starting from the ends towards the roots.
- Hold the hair on the curler for about 10-15 seconds (you shouldn’t be able to keep your finger on it when you touch the heated strand), then release it and continue with the next section.
- Continue wrapping your hair section by section until you are done with the entire head.
- Wait for your hair to cool before perming or styling as desired.
- Finally, turn off the curling iron and let it cool before putting it away.
Important: follow the manufacturer’s instructions and be careful when using the curling iron to avoid overheating the hair or burning the scalp. Also, be sure to use a heat protectant spray to protect your hair from the heat of the curling iron.
