How to Get Big, Bouncy Curls

Job recruiters view women with curly hair as more personable than those with straight hair,[1] so perhaps before your next interview or special event such as a date, you might like to spritz up the curls a bit! Ensuring thick, lush, curly hair with big, bouncy curls is easy when you follow the method outlined here.

Steps

  1. Heat up the curling iron.

    • Place the heat setting to high, if it has a setting mode.
  2. Gather your hair into a top-of-the-head ponytail.

    • Secure this with a suitable elastic.

    • This will be more challenging with shorter hair, but gather whatever hair you can. Obviously, for very short hair, it isn’t possible to create big bouncy curls!
  3. Divide the ponytail into sections. The purpose of this is to keep hair out of the way so that only small sections are curled at a time, to create the most effective curls. Take a one inch (2.5 cm) section of hair.

    • Pin the rest of the hair to one side, out of the way.

    • Curl the small section you have separated from the other hair.

  4. Continue curling in the same manner. Make new sections of the same width until you have curled all of the hair in the ponytail.

  5. Remove the ponytail. Do this with care, so as not to crush the curls you’ve just made.

    • Let the curled hair fall loose.

  6. Add volume to your curls. Bend forward at your waist and let your curled hair dangle forward over your head.

    • Spritz the underside of your curls using hairspray. If preferred, use scrunching gel.

  7. Stand up. Flip your head back, and you’re good to go. Your hair will have added volume and the curls will be beautiful, big, and bouncy.


Video


Tips

  • The best time to curl your hair is right after a shower, because moisture gives your hair more volume, which will help to increase the size of your curls.


Warnings

  • Keep your eyes closed when spraying hairspray.
  • This won’t work on all hair types. Hair that is not able to hold shape well is unlikely to respond as easily as hair that has natural curl. For people with very straight hair that is either very thick or very fine, this method may not be as effective. It is a case of trial and error, to determine whether or not your hair type can sustain curling.


Things You’ll Need

  • Hairspray
  • Curling iron
  • Ponytail holder
  • Hairpins

Will they dare to call Rahul Gandhi a Maoist sympathiser?

"Development doesn’t mean you take away the forests and mountain of the tribals… development doesn’t mean that only big industrialists make money… development must help the poor…Here, the voice of tribals was being suppressed.. Now, there are two Hindustans, one of the rich whose voice reaches everywhere; the other of the poor whose voice is seldom heard. When I say I will be your sipahi in Delhi, my job is not done; it’s just the beginning," said the bearded leader and the hills of Niyamigiri reverberated with loud cheers. The tribals shouted slogans, celebrating their victory over Vedanta, the MNC which had been eyeing the sacred mountain for its mining operations.
 
The leader with a beard on his face and a touch of rebellion in his voice was not a Maoist ideologue asking people to rise against the State. It was Rahul Gandhi, the Congress general secretary and the future face of the party. "You’ve been fighting for your rights peacefully. Your voice has reached New Delhi. You’ve saved your land, mountain and religion. I extended help in whichever way I could," the Congress leader said and the Dongria Kondh people, who have been fighting the mining company and the state government for years to save their land and culture, shouted with joy. 
 
Though some people have dubbed Rahul’s visit to Niyamgiri and his provocative speech as a political stunt against Navin Patnaik’s BJD government, we can’t ignore the significance – symbolic and literal – of what Rahul said in front of the Dongria Kondhs.  In his speech, Rahul raised some pertinent questions. He questioned the nature of development in India. He accepted the fact that the so-called development has created two Indias. He acknowledged that the tribals are being oppressed in their own homeland. He challenged the government’s policy of grabbing forests and mountains in the name of development. He appreciated the people who fought the mining giant. He agreed that the poor tribals didn’t have a voice in the nation’s capital. And he applauded the tribals’ non-violent struggle.
 
Hundreds of journalists, academics, civil society activists, writers and environmentalists have been saying this for years. Arundhati Roy has raised these issues in her brilliant essays many times. Congress leaders such as Mani Shankar Aiyar and Digvijay Singh too have spoken on these issues with great clarity and sensitivity. Even Mamata Banerjee has raised this issue. But all these thinking people have been dubbed Maoists or Maoist sympathizers by the hawks in the establishment who have been itching for a war with "dangerous and armed tribals". Now, Rahul has spoken. What will they do now? Will they call him a Maoist sympathizer?  Will they dare to call him a half-Maoist?
 
The BJP, which has created monsters such as Salwa Judum and believes in solving the problem in India’s tribal heartland with ruthless violence, is already training its guns at Rahul. The party has accused Rahul of sharing dais with Lado Sikoka, a man suspected of being a Maoist sympathizer.  It’s being claimed that the Orissa Police had picked up Sikoka for being a Maoist recently. I don’t know if Sikoda is a Maoist sympathizer or not but in Orisaa and other states hundreds of innocent, poor tribals have been arrested on this stupid charge. The Chhattisgarh Police has even arrested journalists for writing articles on Maoists. It has even filed a case against Arundhati Roy.
 
The BJP is angry with Rahul not for sharing stage with an alleged Maoist sympathizer but because of his attack on the nature of development in this country. Because it believes in predatory capitalism, the BJP will not stop short of killing tribals, clearing all the forests and hand over all the mines and other resources to people like Bellary Brothers who can squeeze it for their personal profits. 
 
By speaking up against this kind of development, Rahul has shown great maturity. By speaking for the tribals’ rights, Rahul has emphasized on the importance of grassroots democracy and development. Seen through the prism of vote bank politics, Rahul’s combative speech at Niyamgiri may look like political posturing but if we look at it objectively, it can be game changer.  There is no doubt that sooner or later Rahul will be the country’s leader. And if he is thinking on these lines, it can be only good news as it will make India a really inclusive country where local communities and not Big Money sharks and their agents in government decide the nature of development.
 
Branding him a Maoist sympathizer is a waste of time.
