Types Of Curls

You start at the top or middle and inch your way down. This is my go-to all time favorite way to curl because it’s so easy and quick. You also get a little extra hold when you start from the middle or top because you’re applying iron heat directly to that portion of the hair, which will help so much

This just dries out your ends and curl will fall out much quicker than it will if you use the “middle to ends” method up top. This curl is bottom heavy and will tend to make anything longer than bob length hair look super “triangular”.

If you like the look of the “Ends to Middle” method above but find that it doesn’t hold, or if you want that Old Hollywood glam vibe, try this one! Curl your hair, then set it with a setting clip and let it cool until all of the heat is gone and the hair is cold to the touch.

These are the best for shorter hair because you can control where you put the dips bumps much more than you can with a curling iron. Flat iron waves can be done on any length of hair. It takes a while to learn, but once you get the hang of it, it’s so easy and fast.

Using a flat iron to curl means you’re pressing the hair from both sides, eliminating puffiness or chance of frizz while you curl. It’s not something I recommend doing every day, because pressing heat into your hair from both sides with a powerful flat iron every day could cause dryness.

he best thing about a wand is that you’re going to get lots of volume. This is my favorite for fine hair who wants voluminous waves! Practice with the wand off first.

This method is going to give you a boho look. You’ll get a curling iron-like pattern up top and loose, tousled waves at the bottom. I love this for long or thick hair. Start by flat-wrapping at the top, then when you get to the middle, don’t let go of the hair, just keep wrapping.

Also called a waving iron, these are good for mermaid-like curls. It’s almost like a larger, rounder crimper.
