Clever DIY Curls: How to Style Long Hair for Gorgeous Curls
Step-by-Step Guide
1.Use a tail comb to section off the crown area (U-zone). Divide the U-zone into front and back sections. Curl the back section inward toward the back. For the U-zone hair: curl the front section outward and the back section inward. Hold the curling iron perpendicular to the ground. This creates fuller curls that add volume and dimension to your head shape.
2. Divide the hair outside the U-zone vertically into sections based on volume. Clamp the curling iron midway through the hair, holding it at a 45-degree angle to the floor, and create a vertical outward curl. Gently pull the iron toward the ends for softer, more natural-looking curls.
3. Hold the ends of the section with one hand. Use the fingers of your other hand to push the hair upward, creating a slightly messy curl at the ends. This is the ultimate technique for boosting volume.
