I Vote For Big, All American Curls!

November 6, 2012

A signature look for classic, American beauty, is big, beautiful curls. Feminine and sweet, soft curls are a polished way to style your hair, anywhere you might go. To celebrate Election Day, here’s a tutorial on how to get the biggest, bounciest, vote-worthy curls in the country.

Step 1: Heat a large 1.5 inch curling iron to it’s highest heat setting. Start with day-old, un-washed hair. The oils in dirty hair hold curl much better than clean hair does, especially for those of us with fine, straight locks. Starting at the crown, section your hair into 4 layers. 

Step 2: Spray hair with heat protector like the Chi spray I used. Working from one side of your head to the other, divide your hair into 2 inch sections.

Steps 3-4: Take a section of hair and start by clamping the curling iron at the end of the section. Roll the curling iron INWARD towards your head, until all the hair is rolled into the iron. Heat section for about 20 seconds or until hair is quite hot to touch.

Step 5: Slowly unroll hair from iron and you will have a loose ringlet. Move to next 2 inch section until entire layer is curled. Set curled layer with hairspray, like the Tresseme spray I used.

Steps 6-9: Repeat steps two through four on all section layers of hair, working your way up to the crown. Once at the crown, if you have long bangs, separate them away from the rest of the hair in that section and curl those last.

Voila! Now you have big, beautiful American girl curls. Head on out to that voting booth and remember to always VOTE BEAUTY!
