I have long very straight hair and a lot of trouble trying to get it to hold a curl. Any secrets?

I've tried curling irons, hair spray, braiding in sections (just to get some kind of texture besides straight!) and nothing seems to want to work. Even if I am able to get a decent curl going, they all fall out within a couple of hours. Besides spending money on hot curlers, are there any tips on how to get hair like mine to hold a curl for just one evening? I'm willing to buy specific hair products if I need to.I have long very straight hair and a lot of trouble trying to get it to hold a curl. Any secrets?

When your hair is wet, braid your hair and dry with a blow dryer and diffuser. When hair is dry apply hair spray. Undo and that should work.





For a curling iron, curl your hair around and iron in a spiral, and spray with hair spray while hair is on the iron. Do this with your whole head.


Hope this helps!

as for curling it think twice about a curling iron, I'd use a flat iron just because its better for you hair, its quicker and easier.

Get some setting lotion :) you can get it everywhere, Tesco does a really good one for a quid or two!
i have thin and baby fine hair so it's very difficult to keep curls in my hair if you are looking for a beach wave look scrunch up sections of your damp hair in hair clips the less hair you put in a clip the faster it will dry spray your hair once it's all pulled up with aussie scrunch hair spray blow dry the hair spray or let it air dry when you feel like the majority of your hair is dry pull out all the clips flip your head upside down hairspray and scrunch your hair somemore and fix touchups after dried......if you want the wringlet look spray every individual section of hair you spray right before you put the iron on it this can be damaging to your hair if you do it a lot but your curls will not fall......if you want a curly/wavy curling iron look grab big sections of your hair and curl them with a medium sized curling iron spray the curl while it's in the curling iron do this to your whole head then flip your hair upside down brush out all the curls together flip your head back up and back comb the top of your hair, then hair spray with a light hairspray to keep body. good luck!
