To quote Farmer Ted from the John Hughes film 16 Candles: "Very hot, very hot."I need heat. My hair is thick, and now, down to my waist at it's longest. With so many, many choices when it comes to what to do with it, my favorite has become big, loose, waves.
It takes a bit of time but is worth it. It goes a little like this:
1. Wash hair the night before, part down the middle, comb out and sleep on it damp with Frederic Fekkai Glossing Cream applied from root to tip. A little of this product goes a long way.
2. Wake up with an hour to get ready. Easier said than done.
3. Pin the top layer of hair up about midway from my ears to my part.
4. Curl bottom layer in sections starting from the center of the back of my head in spiral waves, curling away from my face.
5. Let down top pinned-up layer.
6. Curl in small, sections all throughout the crown starting from the back and working toward my face. Curling away from my face, not forward. Taking smaller pieces gives more definition to the waves on the top layer which is important, especially if hair is highlighted. I pull out the lighter strands and then they really stand out when curled.
7. Let curls set without pulling through for about 10 minutes.
I like this style as it loosens throughout the day. I really like it the following day when I just touch up some of the top layer. Easy, and really pretty.
To purchase a curling iron of this magnitude (it's really hot, up to 428 degrees) you can go to http://www.beautybasicsupply.com/. The size you're looking for is the 1 1/4" barrel. The retail price is $25.
