To curl tight curls, use a thin curling wand and work in small sections of hair.
Here's a breakdown of how to achieve tight curls, based on the referenced tutorial:
Steps to Curl Tight Curls:
-
Apply Heat Protectant: Before using any heat styling tools, apply a heat protectant to your hair. This helps to minimize damage from the heat. The referenced tutorial suggests one that also detangles.
-
Use a Thin Curling Wand: The key to tight curls is the right tool. Use a curling iron with a thin wand. The ghd curve curl thin wand is specifically mentioned.
-
Work in Small Sections: Divide your hair into small sections. This is essential for achieving defined, tight curls. Smaller sections mean each curl will be more defined and tighter.
-
Curl Each Section: Wrap each small section of hair tightly around the thin curling wand, holding for a few seconds (the video doesn't specify the length of time; experiment to see what works best for your hair type and the wand's heat setting).
-
Release the Curl: Gently release the curl from the wand.
-
Repeat: Continue curling small sections of hair until your entire head is curled.
Additional Tips for Tight Curls:
-
Hair Preparation: Make sure your hair is clean and dry before curling.
-
Experiment: The hold time on the curling wand may need to be adjusted depending on your hair thickness and texture. Start with a shorter hold and increase as needed.
