A ';how to curl your hair'; question!?

what is a good product to use on your hair if its mid back (like to bra strap) and dyed.

I was told to use leave in conditioner or some heat protectant spray. But I don't know which one is correct? :[

I finally got the way to actually curl it with my flat iron. But I want to make sure its perfect not all frizzy or stringy.



All your help would be apprciated!



Thanks! %26lt;3 Robyn



PS- i'm looking for curls that are like this.. http://www.evilbeetgossip.com/wp-content鈥?/a>A ';how to curl your hair'; question!?
I have straight hair the same length as yours and there are a number of different ways to curl your hair. Here are some of my techniques:



1. Hot rollers - they seem old fashioned but the work really well to give big soft curls like in the picture - they take about 15 minutes to put in and then you leave them in for 15 minutes (while applying make-up) then take 5 minutes to take out - it will take some practice but it works well once you have the hang of it.



2. Not sure what they're called but they are cold, bendy sticks and you wrap your hair around them and coil it into a bun and either sleep on it or blow dry it and that also produces a nice curl and is fairly easy



3. Scrunching... easy and fast - I apply a texturising spray to my wet hair and scrunch pieces of it under the hairdryer and you get a messy, beachy look which is not like your picture but different types of curls are good.



4. straightening iron (ghds are fantastic) - it took me a while to get the hang of the motion but there are two ways to produce curls with it that I find effective.

- taking a piece of hair at the scalp and clamping it, then you twist the straightener one revolution and pull through the length of your hair or you can start half way to produce curls only at the bottom

- or you can clamp a piece at your scalp and turn it 180 degrees and pull it down for about 5cm then turn it the other way 180degrees all the way down the piece of hair and that also creates a nice wave

- if you combine the two methods you get a natural look and once you've practised, you will learn variations



5. Last super easy method is to put your hair in a few buns on your head and blow dry each one for a few minutes and that also gives beachy waves.



I have limp fine hair and it took my years to work out what would hold curls in.... you can buy volumising mousse or spritzes that you put in your hair before curling which work really well. I use garnier XXL volume which is fantastic. I use a texturising spray on my curls which also makes the waves look good but if you want a more perfect looking style like in your picture, I would suggest curling or volume mousse before styling and then a light hairspray to hold because you don't want it to look unnaturally glued together or to weigh the curls down.A ';how to curl your hair'; question!?
use a strainer that what i use then pull them down to drop them a little it will stay for the whole day
You can skip the leave-in conditioner; Heat protectant sprays have a conditioning agent.

After towel-drying your hair, spray heat protectant (Tresemme is great, and very reasonable) generously over your hair. Then apply a curl-defining gel-- or mousse, if your hair is fine-- (Tresemme Bouncy Curls Defining Gel or Flawless Curls Mousse) through your hair. Comb through with fingers to ensure even distribution. Blow dry straight with a round brush, or upside-down, to give your hair some body.

After your hair is dry and you've finished curling, spritz with a dry hairspray (like Aussie Sprunch Aerosol, or Tresemme Tres Two Ultra Fine Mist).
There are video out there show you how to do that:
