What You Will Need:
- 1-inch curling iron
- Heat protectant spray
- Texturizing spray
- Hair clips or bobby pins
- Hairspray
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
Before you start curling, it’s important to prepare your hair. Start by washing and conditioning your hair as you normally would. Apply a heat protectant spray to prevent any heat damage to your hair.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into small sections using hair clips or bobby pins. This will make it easier to curl each section and ensure that you don’t miss any strands. Start with the bottom sections and work your way up.
Step 3: Curl the Bottom Layers
Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the barrel of the curling iron. Hold it for about 5-7 seconds, and then release. Repeat this process for each section of hair in the bottom layers.
Step 4: Move to the Top Layers
Once you have curled the bottom layers, unclip the top layers of your hair. Take small sections of hair and curl them using the same technique as before. Remember to curl the hair away from your face for a more natural look.
Step 5: Create Texture
Once you have finished curling all the sections of your hair, use a texturizing spray to add some texture and hold to your curls. Gently scrunch your hair with your fingers to enhance the texture.
Step 6: Set the Curls
To ensure that your curls stay in place all day, finish off with a light mist of hairspray. Hold the hairspray about 12 inches away from your head and spray all over your hair.
Step 7: Final Touches
After your curls have set, you can make some final touches to perfect the look. Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to gently separate the curls and create a more relaxed, effortless look.
Voila! You have successfully curled your very short hair. With a little patience and practice, you can achieve gorgeous curls that will turn heads wherever you go.
Remember to always protect your hair from excessive heat by using a heat protectant spray and to take breaks between curling sessions to prevent any damage. Enjoy your new curly hairstyle!
