I found a great video that shows the hair-curling technique I blogged about yesterday. Video Link.
The difference is that I start the curl at the root and wrap tight for bouncier curl. I also don’t do so much messing with the hair so that the curls stay locked. Check out the video and you’ll see what I mean.

The curl stick, shown here, by TIGI, is one example of the special tools you can use for making curls. I stick with the regular curling irons and it works just fine for me.

Practice makes perfect. Try a few times and you’ll see how easy it is to have great curls for holiday parties.
