I've gotten a lot of sweet compliments on this mangy mane of mine. (Thank you!)
You asked what products I use and how I style my hair, so here it is:
All you could ever hope to know about my less-than-exciting hair life.
Before: This is my hair upon awakening. I mostly shower at night
because I despise using a blow-dryer. Shampoo and conditioner: Matrix Sleek Look.
Leave-in conditioner: Garnier Fructis.
(note: My brain takes a bit to warm up in the morning. After some practice, I figured out how to look into the camera lens in the mirror.)
1. After spraying with Tresemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer spray,
I divide my hair into thirds, then clip the top and middle sections to the top of my head.
2. I curl the bottom section first, wrapping chunks of hair around a 1 1/2 inch curling iron and holding it for 10ish seconds. (I don't use the little clamp thing on the curling iron, though,
I just wrap my hair around the closed barrel and hold the ends.
And
3. Bottom layer is curled! Hooray!
4. I take a second clip and secure the bottom section of my hair.
5. I let down the middle section of my hair, then re-clip the top section to the top of my head.
It's a very flattering look, right? And then I curl the middle section.
6. Middle layer all finished!
7. Next, I clip the bottom and middle sections together...
8. ...and then I release the top layer. And then I'm done.
Just kidding. I curl that section, too.
9. Top layer = all done!
10. I unclip the first two sections and shake things up a bit to loosen the curls.
11. Just a little spritz of whatever hairspray was on sale.
12. And a tiny squirt of John Frieda Collection Sheer Blonde dream creme
on the frizzies at the front of my hair.
I will definitely give this a try! And those pictures made me laugh. xo!

I need to buy more product slash grow more hair. Your hair is amazing. I think I would burn myself 100 times a day if I tried to curl around the iron instead of using the clamp. THANK YOU FOR SHARING. Imma try it soon! =]
ReplyDeletesuperrrrrrrrrr gorgeous! it seriously lasts all day?? maybe i should try this whole showering at night and sleeping with wet hair thing. but, don't you feel icky if you don't shower in the morning? pretty sure i sweat at night cuz i lay next to a grizzly bear...
ReplyDeleteGreat :D
ReplyDeleteWe curl our hair exactly the same way! And cheers to not using the clamp. I'm still surprised that people spend so much money on the curling wands considering it's just a curling iron with the clamp. Haha! Why pay more, silly ladies?
ReplyDeleteI'm such a spazz with curling iron and blow dryers, I'm so good at doing other people's hair but become super uncoordinated when it comes to my own.
ReplyDeleteYou have beautiful hair!! seriously!

Ok...so it's really funny that you posted this today because last night I was looking at old photos and I happened upon the first homecoming that we went back to Mexico after being in college and your hair was SO short...but I liked it. And I thought to myslef, hmmm...Andrea has good hair, but I think I liked it short better...I don't know why.
ReplyDeleteThis is a good tutorial! I may have to try it!!
ReplyDeleteUgh! Your hair is SO pretty! I can't wait until mine grows out! xo.

You are gorgeous and so is your hair!!! Sadly I've tried curling my hair this way many times, and it doesn't seem to hold past a few hours.. maybe I'm using the wrong products? I usually end up just curling with a flat-iron. xo

That's adorable! My hair is longer than it's ever been right now and well on its way to getting that long and I love love love using the bigger curling iron to do long big curls already!

Not lame! For those of us with short hair it's inspiring and jealousy inducing! Following you back!

Love the hair and the pug. I think pugs are such cuties.
ReplyDeleteThis hair tutorial made me smile. Usually, people leave out the crucial middle steps when things aren't looking so hot and just show the fabulous end result, which leaves the rest of us confused as to why our hair didn't turn out fabulous in 3 easy steps.
ReplyDeleteI will be trying this!
This was so not lame. I wish my hair held curls like yours! It's beautiful!
