I've received some e-mails and comments over the last few months asking how I curl my hair, so I decided to {rather than explain it} just show you via a quick video I created! If you're wondering why you usually never see my hair straight, that's because it rarely is! Believe it or not, it takes me half the amount of time to curl it, rather than straighten it. If you want to skip the middle part and just jump to the end result {sorry my mane is ridiculously thick!}, skip to 1:55. There are two looks: big curls with a side twist & soft hollywood glamour curls. The morning I filmed this video was the same day I had the above pictures taken. I just pinned up the top half of my hair...easy peasy. Enjoy!

A few other tips...
Damage Control? Wash hair at night and let it dry while you're sleeping in order to avoid more damage than necessary with the hair dryer.
Shine Factor? Some may be opposed to this, but try not to wash your hair everyday if possible! I normally wash mine every other day and that's what helps hold curls and keep the shine!
Thin or fine hair? Lightly mist with hair spray before you curl. Spray after curls have set and before running fingers through it. Don't overdo it, though, or the hair spray will weight the hair down, pulling out the curls.
Thick hair? That's me! So just follow what I did, dividing hair into as many layers as needed! Hair spray afterwards, but again, don't overdo it!
Flat hair? This is weird, but I always put some baby powder at my roots before I tease the crown. This takes out the oil and gives it volume!


Hope that helped a little! What's your go-to look??


Happy Thursday!
