How to Spiral Curl Your Hair





Do you know how to spiral curl your hair? Its so easy once you know how its done and depends solely on the direction your roll your hair. These types of curls are widely popular. You can tuck your ends in for a formal look or leave them out for an informal look.



Spirals were made widely popular again by Jessica Simpson. I don't know of one woman who doesn't think about her when they think about spiral curls! Most curls are typically created by holding your curlers or irons horizontally. (sideways) Spirals are created when you roll your hair vertically. (up and down) It does take a bit of getting used to doing curls this way but once you get it down, the rest is a breeze.

You can make loose or tight spiral curls depending on the size of your iron or curlers.

These aren't rocket science. You've just got to get used to the idea of not holding your curlers or irons the typical way you've probably been taught!




Before you start, you may want to straighten curly hair. Always divide your hair into several sections for easier curling. You can create spirals by using a regular barrel curling iron, a spiral curling iron, or by using regular hair rollers and/or hot rollers. How tight or loose they are depends on the size of the barrel or curlers you choose! If you want tight curls, use a small size. If you want looser curls, use a larger size.

If you want curls to last longer, apply gels, mousse, or spritz's to dry or slightly damp hair before you curl it. Comb through your hair then blow dry it till it's completely dry. If you're using a curling iron, this point is very important. If your hair is not completely dry, you'll only end up singeing your hair and that can cause hair damage!

How to Spiral Curl Your Hair



Before you start, heat up appliances if you're using them. Apply gel or mousse to damp hair before you start and comb through. Thoroughly dry your hair for hot irons. If you want more uniform professional looking curls, straighten your hair before you start.

1) Separate your hair into two main sections, side to side, by parting your hair down the middle on top and down the middle in the back. This will give you two sections.

2) Then separate those two sections into two more sections, top and bottom. Secure the top sections with clamps.

3) No matter how thick your hair is, always start curling from the bottom to the top, especially if you're a beginner! Once you get a little more seasoned, you can curl the top first then clip that hair out of the way if you like to work from top to bottom instead.

4) Grab a small section of hair and tuck the end into your curling iron, or start the curl further up if you want to leave ends out. Start winding your hair vertically. Your iron or curler should be straight up and down. Roll the iron or roller up as far as you can go. If you're using an iron, hold it to the count of ten, depending on your heat setting. Then unwind carefully.

For longer lasting curls, unwind your hair one or two times, or until your hair is loose from the iron. Then pull the iron down to release the curl. This holds curl better than unwinding it.

If your curls do not hold, you'll need more heat. Increase the heat on your iron incrementally until you get it to hold properly.

5) Give each curl a shot of flexible hair spray. and let it go. Keep working in small sections till you are through with one section, then move onto the next section. You can finalize your curls with firm holding hair spray once you're completely done.

You can leave your curls 'as is', or slightly finger them loose to separate curls. Either way, you're going to look great!

See how easy that really is? Women tend to think that things have to be hard but honestly, creating spiral curls is a cinch! You'll have lush, gorgeous curls that men just can't resist!
