Spraying heat protectant

1. Protect your hair from heat

Since you will be using a heat styling tool, you need to put something on your hair first, to protect it. Apply a pre-iron heat protectant mist all over your hair, from a distance. If you spray too close to your hair, then you will make your hair too wet for styling.

Wrapping sections of hair around a curling wand

2. Refresh your curls

Use a curling wand to style your hair. Start with small sections of your hair that look like they have straightened. Wrap the section of hair around the curling wand. Don’t go all the way to the top of the section and hold onto the bottom end of the section.

Releasing the curl

Release the curling wand and you have your first gorgeous curl. Pull down on it a little so it’s more natural-looking.


Repeat on all the sections of your hair that need refreshed curls.

Tip: to make the look more natural, wind some of the sections around the wand towards your face, and some sections away from your face. Also, vary the size of your sections so you have some smaller and some larger ones.
