How to
Now that we've gone over some of the reasons why your hair may not be curling at the top, let's talk about what you can do to fix it. Here are some tips:
Step by Step
Step 1: Prep your hair
Before you start curling, make sure your hair is clean and dry. Apply a heat protectant to your hair to prevent damage from the curling iron.
Step 2: Section your hair
Separate your hair into sections, starting from the bottom. Use hair clips to hold each section in place.
Step 3: Choose the right curling iron
Make sure you're using a curling iron that's the right size for your hair. If you have shorter hair, choose a smaller curling iron. If you have longer hair, go for a larger one.
Step 4: Curl the bottom sections
Start curling the bottom sections of your hair first. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the curling iron, holding it for a few seconds before releasing.
Step 5: Move on to the top section
Once you've curled the bottom sections, move on to the top section. Take small sections of hair and wrap them around the curling iron, holding for a few seconds before releasing.
Step 6: Finish with hairspray
Once you've curled all of your hair, finish with a light mist of hairspray to hold the curls in place.
Tips
Here are some additional tips to help you get the perfect curls:
- Make sure your curling iron is hot enough. If it's not hot enough, your hair won't curl properly.
- Don't overload your hair with product. Too much product can weigh down your hair and make it harder to curl.
- Use a comb or brush to smooth out each section of hair before curling.
- Try using different curling techniques, such as wrapping the hair around the iron or using a twisting motion.
