How to hold a curl in your hair?!?

I love to curl my hair (with a curling iron) and my hair used to hold a curl better. Maybe its because my hair has gotten longer or i don't know what but for some reason it just won't hold a curl! no matter how much spray gel, hair spray, mousse, whatever i put in it! i know that there are products out there like curl enhancers and activators. what are some that you have tried? preferably drugstore, walmart, etc. and inexpensive i.e. under $10. btw- i use a heat protectant and stuff. no one has to preach to me how bad heat styling is for your hair.How to hold a curl in your hair?!?
one of the tricks i always use is buying Aussie hair spray and putting in your hair while the curling iron is still in, some other hair sprays might ruin your iron but Aussie FLEXIBLE hold doesn't



this company also makes shampoos that can help curl your hair, you can find it at a drug store or Wegmans or something like that, you could could also try something like herbal essences or garnier fructisHow to hold a curl in your hair?!?
I have used Suave products and they work great. Especially the extra hold hair spray. Also, Pantene hairsprays work well too. What my stylist does whenever she has done my hair for formal occasions is spray a light amount of hairspray BEFORE she curls it. The heat of the curling iron helps the hair spray mold to your hair and the curl will stay longer. Don't worry though, it's no more damaging than spraying it on after. Also, if your hair is getting longer, try starting the curling iron up more towards your root, holding it for a few seconds than slowly working your way down towards the end. If you try and curl the entire strand at once, the heat won't be able to distribute evenly to the entire section. Therefore, the ends will seem more curly than the roots.
the best way is just to tie your wet hair in small buns,and then blow dry it.I hate to damage my hair so i've been using this method for a long time and it always works.however,you might needa experiment a bit on how tight you want your bun to be.the looser the bun,you'll get loose curls.go on youtube and you'll be able to find many many videos on that!hope i helped!
this sounds weird but the night before you curler your hair dont wash it then Spray the poop out of it right after you curl it
buy ';Pump It Up'; Its the best hold ever!!!!
I have the same problem. My hair is very thick and has never held curls. Back when I was in school and went to prom, once my curls fell out before I got there! They also fell out on my wedding day and I had to go to the drugstore and buy a curling iron to re-do it myself :(



I have researched this too. I have read to spray the section with hair spray before you curl. Keep the iron in place for about 20 seconds, the spray again. I've also read to pin the section to your scalp and let it cool after you've removed the iron. Once it's cooled, unpin it. Work with very small sections too.



Try hot rollers if you haven't already. Spray your hair well and roll each section. Keep them in for as long as you can and don't brush the curls. Just use your fingers. Good luck!

How do i straighten my hair with a Curling iron?

i read some where you can straingten your hair with a curlying iron is this true. im experimenting with my hair but my mom only has a curlying iron and i want mine to be straightened but i dont want to buy a straightener. if its true how do i do it?How do i straighten my hair with a Curling iron?
You can do it, but it'll be puffier than if you used a real straightener and it'll pull your hair out. You just hold the curling iron at the roots of your hair, then slide it down your hair slowly like you would with a straightener...



You can also curl your hair with a straightener... so maybe it'd just be better to invest in a straightener.

Okay, all I can really help you with is the curling question. This is how I curl my hair-and it holds all day.

Begin by applying a styling gel, mousse or styling spray. Your curls will form better if you use good quality products.



Clip your hair back in multiple sections. Release one section and brush or comb it to remove any knots or tangles. Spray lightly with a soft-hold hairspray if your hair is very fine and doesn't hold curls well.



Begin with the undersection of your hair, working your way up to the top. Twist a small section of your hair with your hands for spiral curls, or take a flat, larger section for loose curls.



Curl desired hair



Roll the iron up and hold it for about 10 seconds.



Open the curling iron and release the curls. Proceed with other sections until all areas have been curled.



Flip your head and shake out the curls, then style your hair with your fingers.



Spray with a light hold hair spray to keep your curls in place.

Good luck and I hope I was of some help! Please help on how to flat iron and curl my hair !!!?
Keep practicing.
Well with the straightening part... do you use a clip to put the top layer of the hair up, while you do the under layer? If not this will help tons. Also straighting your hair for 7 years can do some damage, hopefully your using some pre-straightner product (can't think what its called :P but i use it, and love it) Maybe your straightner is old. I love my straightner I got at a salon, cost me $120 but is nearly imposible to burn your self, and its better for your hair. As for curling, with an iron, when your hair is wraped around the iron use a light hairspray, dove works great, and spray a few sprays, once all finished use a heavier hair spray, there are tons of products out there for different things, i would go to a salon and ask a proffesional, they will be able to help you tons!

you have to have a skinny straightner to do this:

wrap a strand of hair around one of the ceramic plates on your straighener, then close it and hold for about 10 secs.
