We have all dreamed of those perfect, airy ones curls that look casual but elegant at the same time, like the ones we often see on Instagram and Pinterest. Do you spend time and energy creating the perfect look, only to see your curls loosen and fall out before you’re even out the door?

Disappointment is inevitable, but you don’t have to give up. With the right tips and the right tools, you can achieve firm, durable curls that will last all day. It’s time to learn the secrets to hair that will impress effortlessly!

Invest in the right tools

The old curling iron you may have from middle/high school may not be enough to achieve the perfect result. Upgrade to a high-quality iron with ceramic plates, which will heat properly and protect your hair. If you have fine hair, the temperature should not exceed 230°C, while for thicker hair you do not need to exceed 350°C.

Don’t skip the preparation

Proper preparation is the key to curls that last. Before you even start wrapping your hair, apply a heat protectant spray. This will add texture and help the curls “hold” better.

Work in small sections

To achieve uniform and tight curls, it is necessary to divide your hair into smaller sections. Don’t be afraid to take your time and work with fine tufts, the result will reward you.

Your hair must not be washed

Freshly washed hair is often too soft to hold curls. It is best to try styling on second or third day hair. If you need a little freshening up, dry shampoo can provide the necessary texture and volume.

Avoid combing

Once you create the curls, don’t comb them right away. Use your fingers or a fine-toothed comb to “relax” them slightly without damaging their structure.
