I’ve seen Utah girl curls going around on TikTok and wanted to try out the look for myself.


Utah curls give us really nice, loose, tousled waves, with the bottom part of the hair remaining straight. Let’s jump on in!

Tools and materials:

  • Heat protectant gel
  • Curler
Applying heat-protectant gel

1. Apply heat-protectant gel

Start by coating your hair with heat-protectant gel before applying heat to it. Squirt some onto your and then smooth it into your hair.

2. Curl hair

Now, curl your hair with a curling iron. Don’t take the curler all the way down to the bottom of your hair as part of the look is to keep the ends straight.

3. Twist hair

With your hair still in the curling iron, twist your hair around to form a twist in the top section of your hair.


This combination of curling and twisting the hair gives us that Utah-girl look.

4. Repeat

Repeat this process all over your hair.
