Re: Curling thick, silky straight hair with a curling iron
I posted this a while ago..
Here you go! I hope it helps!
There are a number of ways to help a curl stay.
1. Spray your hair lightly with hairspray and then curl your hair with a curling iron. Do small pieces at a time. The more hair you do at once, the less likelly it is to curl. once it's curled, then pincurl it and put a bobby pin. Wait until your make-up is done and your hair has cooled down and then take themout and re-spray them a bit.
2. Hot curlers. Put them in while their hot and do not remove them until they have cooled.
3. Use a flat iron. Yes, a flat iron. Flat iron it through to the end and then hold it closed, turn it like you would a curling iron. You can then pin curl it and bobby pin it.
Have you thought about going to the salon and having your hair washed and set? If so, make sure they put mousse in your hair beforehand, this will hold the curl without it being too stiff.
Good lucK!

Get those hot curls, roll em into your hair and leave on for a couple of hours as you're getting ready. I think we have similar hair, texture-wise, and mine will not hold curls from curling iron for nothing...

Dirty hair holds a curl better. Don't wash your hair for 24-48 hours before you are going to curl it.

I agree w/ setting your hair w/ hot rollers first, it's a must! You can always add some curls w/ a big curling iron afterwards. Good Luck!
