Steps for Applying Spiral Curlers
Here's how to use spiral rods for perfect corkscrew curls, according to the reference:
- Prepare Your Hair: Start with clean, slightly damp hair.
- Root Twist (Optional): You can twist the hair at the root just a little before applying the rod. This can help with lift at the root.
- Rod Placement: Open the hook of the spiral rod. The reference states, “And I did use my mouth to kind of open up the hook y'all don't judge me okay but.” This shows one method used to open the hook.
- Secure the Root: Position the rod over the root of the hair.
- Spiral the Hair: Begin spiraling the hair around the rod, following the curve of the spiral.
- Continue to the End: Keep spiraling until you reach the end of the hair section.
- Secure the End: Fasten the rod so the hair is secure on the rod.
- Repeat: Repeat steps 2-7 for all sections of your hair.
- Allow to Dry: Let your hair dry completely.
- Remove: Carefully unwind each spiral curler from the hair.
Tips for Spiral Curler Success
- Sectioning: Divide your hair into small sections for more defined curls.
- Consistency: Apply similar tension and tightness to each section for even curls.
- Product: Applying a styling product, like mousse or curl cream, may help hold the curls once the rollers are removed.
By following these steps, you can achieve a head full of beautiful corkscrew curls using spiral rods.
