Hair curling advice
Hi I was wondering does anyone have any recommendations for a hair curler for hair that just won't hold curls.
My hair is naturally straightish with a bit of a kink- can go a bit wavy if I don't blow dry it. I've tried using my ghd to curl my hair and it looks great.....for about five minutes at most. It doesn't matter how much hair spray I use, if I wait a while in between washes etc., my hair just ends up straight with a weird kink very soon after curling. Does anyone know of any good curling wands etc. for people with this problem? I'm dying for curly hair!

I have a similar problem to you. My hair just will not hold a curl. The only way I can get it to work is by doing the following. It stays in for a couple of days too.
Wash the night before. Put absolutely loads (and I mean loads) of mousse in. Comb through and leave to dry naturally. Next day put loads of dry shampoo on in the morning. Leave it a couple of hours. Then tong using whichever tool. Hairspray when finished. |

Make sure you remove build up from the hair. My hair won't hold a curl if there's too much product in it.
Setting lotions or mousse are key imo. When you've made the curl, pin it down spray and leave it to cool. |

It has 100% tourmaline ceramic plates. I use it daily and there is no damage to my hair as I always keep an eye on the temperature. http://www.karminhairtools.com/uk/ka...ro.htmlhttp://The Karmin website has reviews showing how to use their products properly. It took me a couple of days before I really got the hang of it and now have my hair as curly as I want it, unless the day is particularly wet or humid. |

I actually got gifted a cheapish tre semme wand which I assumed wouldn't work at all but I'm actually finding it great in comparison to my ghd. Not sure why because I know loads of hairdressers use the ghd rather than curling irons/wands. |

I find if I don't use any spray or mousse then curls seem to hold longer.
