If you want to add some volume and texture to your hair, curling is a great way to do it. Using a wand is one of the easiest ways to curl your hair, but if you're not careful, you can end up with a lopsided look. In this blog post, we'll show you how to curl the left side of your hair with a wand, step by step.
Description
Curling the left side of your hair with a wand can be a bit tricky since the wand is designed to be held in your right hand. However, with a little practice and the right technique, you can achieve beautiful, bouncy curls on both sides of your head.
How to
Step 1: Prepping your hair
Before you start curling, make sure your hair is clean, dry, and brushed out. Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair to prevent damage from the wand's heat. You can also apply a volumizing mousse or spray to add some extra texture and hold to your hair.
Step 2: Section your hair
Using a comb, divide your hair into two sections, with one section on the left and the other on the right. Clip the right section out of the way so you can focus on curling the left side.
Step 3: Heat up your wand
Turn on your wand and let it heat up to the desired temperature. For fine hair, use a lower temperature setting, and for thicker hair, use a higher temperature setting. Make sure to use a wand with a clip or glove to protect your hands from the heat.
Step 4: Start curling
Take a small section of hair from the left side of your head and wrap it around the wand, starting at the root and working your way down. Hold the hair in place for a few seconds, then release it from the wand. Repeat this process for the rest of your hair on the left side.
Step 5: Repeat on the right side
Once you've finished curling the left side of your hair, unclip the right side and repeat the same process. Remember to hold the wand in your right hand and curl the hair away from your face.
