00:00What's up guys?
00:00I'm Aria.
00:01I'm Serena.
00:02I'm Emily.
00:03And this is Beauty in a Snap.
00:05This is our Curling 101 episode, so we're going to be talking about all the ways you
00:08can curl your hair with just one curling iron.
00:10Curling irons are a great way to add volume and shape to any hairstyle, but did you know
00:15that there are multiple ways to use a curling iron?
00:17Today we're going to demonstrate normal curls, movement curls, and then a fun wanding technique.
00:22The fun part?
00:23All of us have such different hair textures, so you can see how it looks on all three of
00:26us.
00:27My hair is really curly, it's frizz prone, dry, and the curl pattern is all over the
00:33place.
00:33The best way to describe my hair is thick, super thick.
00:37Look at all this hair.
00:38I would describe my hair as thin, fine with body.
00:41Typically I like to wear it straight, but every once in a while I like to jazz it up and
00:45add
00:45a little curl.
00:46Let's get started.
00:47I'm going to start with doing a regular curl for you guys.
00:51I like to make sure that I get all the way down to the end, otherwise you have this weird
00:56hard angle.
00:57So first I'm going to section my hair, I'm going to comb through it really quickly, then
01:01I'm going to clip it at the base, and then I'm going to twirl in an upward motion.
01:08Make sure you don't have any of your old curl left at the top, which can look really really
01:12weird.
01:14And then we wait.
01:18I really like to feel for heat before I let it go.
01:20It takes a little longer than the normal person to penetrate through all this hair.
01:40It's very even throughout, and if you want to brush it, then it turns into some nice waves.
01:45Look how bouncy it is.
01:46You can literally see it.
01:47At this point I would be spraying a lot of hairspray on it so that the curl stays together.
01:52Because my hair is so thick and heavy, doing a regular curl, it'll result in a much softer
01:57curl that falls with the weight of my hair.
02:00So next up we're doing movement curls.
02:02For this curl, instead of starting at the bottom, you want to start at the top.
02:08And then I'm going to work my way curling the iron inward toward my forehead.
02:14And as I move it, I'm also rotating and clamping to pull the hair in through the curling iron.
02:22I think that's the best way to describe what I'm doing right now.
02:25And if your hair is like mine, you really want to make sure you're getting close to the
02:29root because that's where the frizz loves to hang out.
02:37So as you move down, you're pulling your hair across the iron.
02:42And the result should be a curl that's very loose and wavy.
02:51Because my hair is so thick, it'll create a much more intense curl.
02:55What I like to do is I'll comb it through to give me more of a Hollywood glam wave.
03:05So it's a lot looser than the first curl, more of a wave.
03:10While I love the idea of a movement curl, I think that because my hair is a little too
03:14fine that it needs something that holds the curl more.
03:17And last but not least, it's my favorite, the wand curl.
03:21So you want to, again, when you have hair like mine, start right at the root.
03:26And that's important because if I start halfway down, half of the curl is this beautiful even
03:33wand.
03:33And then half of it is the leftover curl.
03:36I'm going to actually take a smaller section of my hair.
03:39My hair might be too thick to try to get it all wrapped around the iron at once.
03:44So I'm going to start from behind and wrap my hair around the iron.
03:51Careful not to burn.
03:52I find this to be the simplest technique.
03:54And again, I'm going to hold it for a little longer than usual, just to make sure the heat
03:59is spread throughout evenly.
04:01And then I'm just kind of bouncing the clamp to release.
04:05It makes it a little easier to pull off.
04:11And then I like to hold it for a little bit.
04:14Just gently hold it.
04:15And that keeps it a little tighter as it cools off.
04:28Voila.
04:29It's a really springy curl.
04:31There's no frizz, which is amazing.
04:34Still rep the curly curls, but with a little more polish.
04:37So there you have it.
04:38Here are all three of my curls.
04:39But I have to say, my favorite is the regular curl.
04:41Wanding is absolutely my favorite.
04:43My favorite is movement curl, so I'm going to show you guys what it looks like all over
04:46my head.
05:20How does it look?
05:21So there you have it.
05:22This is what curly textured hair looks like after it's been wanded.
05:25This is what my hair looks like after applying those movement curls.
05:28Three curls.
05:29Three techniques.
05:30Super different hair textures.
05:31Thank you so much for watching this episode of Beauty and the Snap.
05:34We'll see you next time.
