How To Curl Your Hair: Soft Waves

One of the ways to get soft curls is to use a curling iron.Since you are looking for soft curls, you will not want to add much, if any, hair products to your hair before you start curling your hair.You also want to use a relatively thick curling iron.If you use a curling iron that is too thin, you can end up with tight curls.Your curling iron should have different levels of heat settings, and you should set the curling iron to a medium heat level.This will allow you to achieve the soft curl look without over heating your hair.Once your curling iron is to its desired heat, take a chunk of hair that is relatively medium thickness and put it in the curling iron.Start at the tip of the hair and wrap the hair around the curling iron.Hold the hair in this position for a minute or two and then let the hair out.Depending on the look you are trying to achieve, you can decide if the heat is too low or high or if you should hold you hair for a shorter or longer amount of time once it is wrapped around the curling iron.Once you know exactly how hot you want to curling iron and how long to hold it in your hair, just repeat on your entire head of hair to achieve a beautiful soft curl look.

Another way to achieve a soft curl look is to use hot rollers.The rollers should be of medium thickness to insure that you will get the soft curl look.Heat the rollers up to a medium heat level.Once they are heated up to a good level, you can apply them to your hair.Just wrap chunks of hair around the rollers from the ends of the hair to the roots.Leave the rollers in your hair until you feel you have reached your goal for soft curls.Test out your curl level by taking out one roller to see what the curl looks like.If it is not the desired curl, then just put the roller back in.If the curl looks the way that you wanted, then take each roller out on at a time, starting with the ones that you put in first.This will give you a soft curl look.

Many women like to add a little bit of hairspray or hair gel to their hair before or after their hair has been curled.If you are going to put any gel in your hair before you curl, it should be a very small amount of gel.You should not apply hairspray to your hair until you are done curling the hair.The hairspray will help hold your curls all day.You may want to choose a hairspray that is made for curls and allows movement.

Whether you decide to use hot rollers or a curling iron, you are able to get soft curls that can make you look beautiful.Soft curls can add a bounce to any woman's step, and can create a soft look to any woman.
