How to Get Big, Sexy Curls!

I have always been envious of those celebrities who rock the big, sexy curls. Everyone from Victoria's Secret angels, Holly Madison, and my style inspiration, Courtney Bingham have mastered this voluminous hairstyle. I have tried many methods to achieve the perfect curls and have final found a super easy method that works wonders!

All you need is a curling iron and some hairspray! The size of the curling iron barrel will depend on how tight you want your curls. I tend to use a 1 inch barrel. And ladies, you do not need to spend a lot of money on fancy curling irons. Target has some great ones for a really reasonable price!

First things first, spray heat protectant all over your hair! It will prevent damage and save your hair from split ends in the long run. Now, section off your hair and clip parts away from your face. I do about three layers when sectioning off my hair: the bottom, middle, and crown. Taking small chunks of hair, wrap around the barrel of your curling iron going away from your face. I don't use the clamp on the curling iron because I find that it leaves creases in my hair if I do not work with it quick or delicately enough. After each curl, spray with a thin layer of hairspray for extra staying power. You can also roll your curl up and bobby pin to let it set that way while you finish the rest of your hair. If you want to add a little more va-va-voom clip in some extensions before you start curling.

Once all of your hair is curled, flip your head over and shake it out! Gently run your hands through your hair to break up the curls a bit. Flip your head back over and smooth out the top of your hair. You can adjust your curls at this point: either breaking them up more or recurling a strand or two. If you are like me and love some volume, tease sections of your hair and smooth out again. Spray with another layer of hairspray and you're done!
