Best method to get curly hair

Subject: Best method to get curly hair Sun Apr 27, 2008 1:30 pm

I would like to make my hair a bit curly for a wedding im going to soon. Whenever ive tried with curling tongs they fall out within minutes. My hair is quite thick and heavy and im not sure what to do to make curls stay in, other than use loads of hair products which i dont really want.
I dont actually have curling tongs anymore, are the rollers any good?
Any advice would be great x

depending on what kind of curls you are wanting in your hair hun

loose or tight curls?

also what length is your hair?

sounds strange but have you got any straighteners? i had mine curled with them for our wedding last year & they stayed in all day. if you leave your hair unwashed for a couple of days before the curls will stay in better, start at the root & as you pull the straightener down ur hair curl it round the straightener, my hair was half way down my back this time last year & the curls stayed in well

yeah if you use straighteners it tends to keep your curls in longer especially if you are looking for a loose curl....or try using heated rollers with a bigger barrell

Also use Elnett Hairspray, its dearer but its the best

Tre-semme do a multistyler and it has a thin curler, a fatter curler, stariightning iron and srimper all in a nice pouch with clips. It is £14.99 from comet. Me and my SIL both have it and it works great.

I have thick hair so i wash mine and put serum on it then curl then hairspray after each layer

ghd straightners are great for doing tight curls, get a decent hairspray and it will last all day
