We truly cherish lovely, faultless, bouncy curls. Be that as it may, do you know what’s even better? When those delightful, immaculate curls hold their shape the entire day.

Today we are giving away our biggest secrets on curling your hair and making it hold throughout the day!

1. Make Your Curls Stay: Cool Them Off

A fantastic tip to start off with, for getting your curls to last all day, is letting them cool down and set up before you releasing them. As you create each new curl (while maintaining its shape), secure it with a clasp or bobby pin.

How could this possibly work? Simple. As you wrap your hair around the curling iron, heat transfers to the strands of hair effectively changing its shape. Once that perfect curl has returned to room temperature, the cuticles close allowing the curl to set up and keep its shape throughout the day.

Clue: In case you do not have the time to sit around and wait 10-15 minutes for the curls to set, pin every one of them to your scalp and utilize the “Cool” setting on your blow dryer on them. Now you know what the “Cool” setting is for.

2. Utilize the Right Hair Items

Help your curls out. By applying styling products to your hair you can help your hair hold the curls longer. Depending on which products work best with your hair, apply a little before drying your hair or even a spritz of hairspray before and after curling. Of course, this would all come after your favorite warmth protection product.

Clue: Keep the hairspray at a distance from your hair. You only need a light mist on it, then wait a few minutes for the hairspray to dry before you apply any heat to your hair.

3. Take the Plunge and Obtain Quality Curling Iron

For a considerable length of time, you may have imagined that your hair is “straight as an arrow” and that ‘your curls will fall apart in a half hour anyways’.

This will be your reality as long as you utilize cheap, drugstore brand styling tools. Once you convert to a more high-end, better quality instrument you will understand that your hair is not the issue – it is the iron itself. Surely they are more expensive than the generic alternative. However, they do less damage to your hair, heat up better (so you apply heat for a shorter time), and due to the higher quality, will last you much longer.

4. Employ the Right Barrel Size

Barrel size is crucial in inspiring curls to last all day. One could easily believe a larger barrel will provide those luscious movie star-like curls. Although, we find that more often than not, a smaller barrel will do the enchantment. Obviously contingent upon your hair, have a go at utilizing a 1″ or 1.5″ barrel and see the kind of difference it makes. You should find that not only will your curls last longer; they will look better as well.

5. Still Can’t Get Your Hair To Curl?

This is a wonderful opportunity to give your hair some affection and get a trim!
