Start with clean, dry hair
Apply heat protectant evenly
Detangle hair completely
Divide hair into sections
Use a curling iron or wand
Choose a barrel size based on curl type desired
Clamp or wrap a small section of hair at a time
Hold for a few seconds
Release the curl gently
Let each curl cool before touching
Repeat through all sections
Finger-comb or lightly brush curls if desired
Finish with hairspray or styling spray
Avoid curling very large sections at once

Use higher heat only if needed for thick hair
