By Toni Moretti

Although having straight hair is a glorious thing, it never goes out of style, but then again, there comes those moments that straight hair becomes boring. Everyone needs a bit of variety every now and then. It may it be the food that we eat, even the channels that are on our TV, and sometimes it is our crowning glory.

There is one option that will be best if in case you have straight hair, you can add some curls to it. Curling irons will do that job wonderfully, and you need not worry about getting back to your straight hair, it is not permanent. Curling irons are a lot easier to use, and aside from that, it is a lot more effective upon achieving the curling effect if compared to other curling instruments.

Here are a few hints that I have for you to which will help a lot if you are using a curling iron.

You will need some items as you are about to curl your hair using a curling iron.

Curling iron (of course) Some styling gel or mousse or styling spray A blow dryer A brush or comb In addition, some hair clips

Now for the instructions so that you are fully aware of what you should do, and keep yourself from hurting yourself and your precious hair.

You have to wash your hair, as it should be with shampoo, so that your hair is guaranteed clean. At the same time as that, your hair is still clammy, but I do not mean wet, you have to apply some styling gel, mousse or styling spray to your hair.

After that, blow-dry your hair until they are all entirely dry. The reason why you have to use hair products and blow dryer is these products will ensure you that your curls will enhance formed and will last longer.

You have to divide your hair into a number of little partitions. Here you are to use your hair clips to hold your hair on the separated partitions.

After this, you can release one partition of your hair and then you have to make sure that there are not any knots or tangles, you can use your brush of comb for this.

If you have a very fine hair texture and you may think that your hair might not hold curls, you can spray some soft-hold hair spray.

Then now, you can press the lever on your curling iron and fully open it. Insert the ends of your hair upon the space that is in between of the iron and its flap.

You have to roll the iron up towards your scalp. Stand in that position for maybe 10 seconds.

After that, again push the lever on the curling iron, open the flap and slowly release your curls.

Repeat these procedures until all of the hair partitions are done.

Now for the final changes, flip your hair and shake your curls out, and then lightly spray on some hair spray. Then viola! You are done!
