·         Heat up your curling iron and while it gets to the heat you want. While it’s warming, section off your hair with your fingers.

·         Divide your hair into two segments, an upper and a lower one. Using clips, fasten the upper segment so that it’s out of the way and leave the lower segment loose. Apply a thermal protectant to the bottom segment, using a brush or comb to distribute the product and get rid of any tangles.

·         Once the curling iron is hot, pick it up carefully. Use a heat resistant glove during the first few sessions so that you don’t burn yourself on the barrel. Select a 1 inch section of hair and wrap it around the barrel, holding it in place for roughly 5 to 10 seconds. Release the hair.

·         Repeat with all of the lower segment and move on to the upper segment until all of your hair has been curled.

·         Gently separate the curls with your fingers and use some holding spray to finish.
