Do-it Yourself


It's simple to get a stylish look at home with a curling iron. This look in particular will take you fifteen minutes once you get it down.

1. Heat up your curling iron. The bigger the iron, the looser your curl will be.

2. Have a big clip handy to section your hair out of the way while you curl.

3. Start in the back by clipping half of your hair up on top of your head.

4. Take a section about 2-inches apart.

5. Wrap hair around the iron- if you wrap just the ends, the curl will be softer. If you wrap up the whole section your hair will be very curly. You can wrap in either direction, if you are curling in synchronized sections it will look more organized.

6. Take it section by section- it doesn't have to be perfect, it's better messy.

7. For a more modern look, when you get to the front, curl the front layers so the curl moves away from your face.

8. After you are done, spray it with a light hair spray- I recommend Cristophe's Shaping Spray

9. Brush your hair. I prefer a boar bristle brush, the bristles are all very close together which smoothes the hair and creates a shiny wave.

10. Spray a little more hairspray for extra hold and... VoilĂ ! A quick and easy way to have chic hair before you run out the door! Don't be afraid, just try it!

  1. Hi Brittany,
    I took your advice and used a boars hair brush instead of my usual metal brush. It really worked well on my curly, curly hair, smoothing it out and giving it a great shine.
    Thanks for the excellent tip!
