Ever wonder how your favorite stars get those bombshell curls?
Well, here’s how it works: Begin with blow-dried hair and a 1¼-inch curling iron. A good one is the Cricket’s Ultra Smooth Professional Curling Iron, but you can use whatever you have handy.
Next, instead of using the clamp on your iron as you curl–ready for this?–use your iron like a curling wand. In other words, wrap sections of hair around the iron (over the clamp instead of inside). By doing this, you achieve straighter ends and an overall more casual feel.
While styling, wrap hair away from your face and hold the iron at a 45-degree angle, especially in the front. Keep your hair on the iron for about 10 seconds (depending on thickness). Repeat until all sections are curled.
Comb through with your fingers and voilà: natural, “I woke up like this” curls that you achieved without even stepping foot in a blow-dry bar. (Hey, they’re all booked up anyway.)
