Curly spray is typically used with heat styling tools to enhance and hold curls. Here's a step-by-step guide:
- Start with Dry Hair: Ensure your hair is completely dry before applying curly spray and using heat.
- Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, usually 1-2 inches wide.
- Apply the Spray: Hold the curly spray about 6-8 inches away from your hair and lightly mist each section. Don't oversaturate; a light coating is sufficient.
- Style with Heat: Immediately after spraying, wrap the section of hair around a hot curling iron or wand.
- Hold and Release: Hold the hair around the hot tool for a few seconds (5-10 seconds, depending on your hair type and the heat of the tool). Then, carefully unwind the hair.
- Let Cool: Allow the curl to cool completely before touching it. This helps set the curl.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 3-6 for each section of your hair.
- Finger Comb: Once all sections are curled and cooled, gently comb through your hair with your fingers to separate and define the curls. Avoid using a brush, as this can disrupt the curl pattern.
- Final Spritz (Optional): For extra hold, finish with a light spritz of curly spray all over your hair.
Tips for Best Results:
- Choose the Right Product: Select a curly spray that's appropriate for your hair type (fine, thick, etc.) and desired level of hold.
- Use Sparingly: Too much spray can make your hair stiff and sticky.
- Protect Your Hair: Always use a heat protectant spray in addition to the curly spray to minimize damage from heat styling.
- Experiment: Different techniques and holding times may work better for different hair types and textures.
