• Some crimping machines have clamps near the handle. If this is the curling machine you are using, open the clip and insert the ends of the hair into the bottom clip, close to the handle, then close the clip to keep it in place. Next, you can wrap all the hair around the curling iron by rolling the curling iron up the roots. Stop rolling when you are about 2.5cm from the roots to prevent the curling machine from burning your scalp.
• Another type of bending machine, just a straight roll bar, without clamp. With this curling machine, you should start curling from near the scalp and wrap your hair around the curler with your hands. You will need to hold the ends of your hair while you wait for it to curl. Some of these crimping machines have built-in safety gloves to use during the job to prevent hand burns.

Start curling your hair. Now the preparation is complete and you are ready to curl. Take the part of the hair you want to curl and use a brush to remove any tangles. Clip the straightener to your hair and rotate it upwards so that the hair is in a U-shape. Hold the straightener in this position while you move it down the ends.

• The position of the straightener will create the style of the curl when you are done. If you want curly hair from root to tip, position the straightener closer to your scalp but be careful not to burn.
• If you just want to curl the ends, keep the straightener in the center of the head. This is called gentle bending.
• The slower you move the straightener, the more tight the curl will be. If you pull the straightener quickly, the curls will be soft and slightly wavy.
• Keep in mind that using large hair (5cm wider) will make the curls slightly larger and curly, but using a small part (less than 5cm) will give you a tighter curl.

Wrap your hair around the roller. Start curling from the ends, holding the ends on the roller with one finger, then curl the roller upwards, neatly and tightly. The pressure is the key to creating a beautiful curl, so make sure to keep your hair in place around the roller.

• You should also make sure that your hair doesn't get tangled when you wrap it in the roller to create a smooth and even curl.
• If using the hot roller roller, be careful not to burn your hands by both ends of the roller. Find a cold spot so that you can hold the roll while curling in your hair.

Squeeze your hair. Bend your head to squeeze your hair by holding a small portion of hair in your hand and rubbing your scalp, the same way you would rub a piece of paper.

• Use this to squeeze all of the hair on your head. Continue doing this for 1 or 2 minutes, then flip the hair back to its original position and squeeze again until you are satisfied with the style.
• The technique is the same no matter what curly hair products you use, just change the amount of products you use according to the package instructions and the length of your hair - long hair uses more, short hair uses less.

Regular braids or French braids for each part. A French braided hairstyle instead of a regular one will make the hair curl around the top of the head.

• See the guide to French braids for detailed instructions.
• Ask someone to help you. It is usually easier to braid someone else's hair when braiding yourself, so try asking someone for help.

Hold the braid in place. Tie each braid with a cloth hair tie. Try to tie it as close as possible to the ends or else the ends of the hair will be straight and lose the curl effect.

• The rubber hair ties can cause damage to the hair fibers especially when the hair is wet. You should not use this hair tie!

Leave the braid on for a few hours or overnight. After about 6 to 8 hours of dry hair, gently remove the braid. The easiest way is to braid your hair before going to bed. After removing the braid, thread your fingers through your hair several times to untangle your hair, but avoid combing it to make it bulge.

• Complete with hair-holding glue. If you are concerned that the curls won't hold on to during the day, spray on a little more curling glue.

Method 6 of 6: Hair Twisting

1. Twist your hair into a bun. You can create "beach" curls with large, soft curls without heat or curl by twisting the hair into a bun. For this method, you will need hair ties, hairspray, and toothpicks.
   • Start with damp hair. You can spray water on your hair or let it dry slightly after washing it.
   • Divide your hair into 4 relatively equal parts and use an elastic band to fix it: tie the two parts below and two at the top.
   • Tighten each section of hair in the direction you like. Twisting the hair sections in different directions will make the curly hair more natural.
   • Roll each piece of hair into a bun and hold it in place with a toothpick.
   • Dry each part of hair until it is completely dry or let it air dry.
   • Remove each section of hair and gently loosen the curls with your fingers when the hair is completely dry.
   • Use a little hairspray to keep your hair in line.
2. Wrap your hair in a headband. You can make your hair curly or wavy by twisting it around a soft cloth headband. For this method, you will need 1 or 2 headband, a spray of water, hairspray, and a hair product.
   • Divide your hair into two sections on each side of your head, then gently put a headband on the top of your head. Pull the headband down close to your ear.
   • Spray each section of hair, starting with the hair above the ears.
   • Twist hair on one side first. Once a small section of hair has been twisted, wrap it around the headband. The first cuff will be right behind the ear. Twirl a bit more and wrap right next to the first hair.
   • Continue doing this until you've wrapped all of the hair in the headband. After that, repeat the same thing with another part of the hair. The smaller you wrap your hair, the tighter the curl will be.
   • Spray the curl when you wrap your hair around the headband.
   • Wait for the hair to dry for a few hours or dry it out.
   • Once the hair is dry, remove the curl around the headband. Loosen the curls with your fingers and squeeze your hair with a little curl.
3. Twirl small sections of hair to create wavy hair. The easiest way to create curls is to twist a few small pieces of hair and tie it up.
   • Spray a hair-holding gel or styling product while it is still damp.
   • Divide the hair into two equal parts and further divide into four sections: two below and two above the ears.
   • Hold the ends of the ends below and twist the ends together. Then, use a hair tie to hold the twisted hair in place.
   • Repeat the same for the top two hair sections. Tie the hair behind your ears after twisting your hair.
   • When your hair is completely dry, remove the hairspring and gently unravel the curls by shaking or brushing with your fingers.

Advice

• Do not over-apply the hold glue, as your hair will be hard instead of curly.
• If you want to brush your hair, don't use a regular comb. The curls will be damaged and become frizzy. Use a wide tooth comb to keep curls and brush them beautifully.
• Try twisting your hair before braiding and you will wake up with a spiral curl instead of a zigzag '.
• Try wrapping your hair with a cloth or an elastic sponge. These two are very effective for creating curly hair.
• Use a thickening spray like vo5 to make your hair bounce.
• If you want wavy hair, braid it, then use a straightener to slowly clip it into the braid. Then, remove the braid. Very simple!
• If you want tight curls, braid several small braids and then braid each other until the braids are gone.
• You can also make your hair curly with your fingers. But it will take a long time and the curl does not last long.
• You can also use the gel to make your hair curly.
• If you go to sleep with braids all night, don't braid it too tightly as this will damage your hair.
• If you want a curly hairstyle with a ponytail then tie it up first. Then make it curly because it is difficult to tie it into a ponytail.
• For a nice curl, divide your hair into 4 or more sections.

Warning

• Do not use too much hair conditioner. This product will dry out the hair and it will become difficult to brush. In addition, the curls are stiff and brittle.
