If you're looking to add some bounce to your hair, super curls are the way to go. Super curls are tighter, more defined curls that give your hair volume and body. In this guide, we'll show you how to super curl your hair with ease. We'll cover the tools you'll need, the steps to follow, and some tips and tricks to make sure your curls look perfect every time.
How to Super Curl Your Hair
The key to super curls is to use a curling iron with a small barrel size. A 1/2 inch or 3/4 inch barrel works best for creating tight, defined curls. You'll also need a heat protectant spray, a comb, and some hair clips to section your hair.
Step by Step Guide
Follow these steps to super curl your hair:
- Start by washing and conditioning your hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair to protect it from the heat of the curling iron.
- Section your hair into small sections using hair clips.
- Take a small section of hair and comb it to remove any tangles.
- Starting at the base of your hair, wrap the section of hair around the curling iron barrel, holding the iron vertically.
- Hold the hair in place for 5-10 seconds, depending on how tight you want your curls to be.
- Release the curl and let it fall naturally.
- Repeat steps 4-6 for the rest of your hair, working from the bottom layers to the top.
- Once you've curled all your hair, use your fingers to gently separate the curls and create more volume.
- Finish with a light hairspray to hold your curls in place.
Tips for Perfect Curls
Here are some tips to make sure your super curls look perfect:
- Make sure your hair is completely dry before curling. Wet hair can damage the curling iron and may not hold the curl as well.
- Use a heat protectant spray to protect your hair from the heat of the curling iron.
- Don't hold the curling iron in your hair for too long. 5-10 seconds is enough to create a tight curl.
- For a more natural look, curl your hair in different directions. This will create more volume and texture.
- Use hair clips to section your hair and make sure you curl all parts of your hair evenly.
