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
-
Heat up the curling iron.
- Place the heat setting to high, if it has a setting mode.
-
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!
-
-
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.
-
-
Continue curling in the same manner. Make new sections of the same width until you have curled all of the hair in the ponytail.
-
Remove the ponytail. Do this with care, so as not to crush the curls you’ve just made.
-
Let the curled hair fall loose.
-
-
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.
-
-
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
