Answer 1

It's very difficult to get curls to stay in straight hair. But, there are a few tricks to at least try:

1. Try scrunching the hair when it's wet. That way, when you blow dry, it'll have a bit of a wave to it.

2. Divide the hair into sections. Begin by pinning most of the hair ON TOP above with a hairclip. Leave a small section of hair at the bottom (the hair nearest to the nape of the neck).

3. Use a 1 or 1.25 inch ceramic curling iron. Nothing with a barrel larger than that. Take small pieces of hair and curl. Hold the curling iron vertically when the hair is clamped in. Depending on whether her hair is thick or thin, hold the iron in place for anywhere from 5-10 seconds (no longer than that!). The thicker her hair is, hold it in longer. If her hair is thin, hold it in for less time (any longer could damage her hair).

4. Let the curl loose from the iron very gently. Don't yank the iron off her hair, just let the hair carefully slip off the iron.

5. Hair spray the curl immediately after.

6. Once you are through, go over the entire head with a little more hair spray. Once the curls have cooled, then run your fingers through it (to avoid any tight, Shirley Temple-type curls). Then hairspray once more.

Good luck!

Try an iron like this: http://www.brilliantstore.com/hair_irons...

This hairspray is the best I've used (I curl my hair everyday):

Non-aerosol sprays work best because they don't leave the hair sticky.

Answer 2

all you need to do is curl it and then spray hairspray on the scalp.  

Answer 3

Get one of those hair products that helps hold curls. Like something from Herbal Essences that says on the bottle something about holding curls.

Then use a curling iron, put it on a high setting and hair spray it afterwards.

Answer 4

you can use a curling iron and hairspray.  like good hairspray.  paul mitchell.

Answer 5

I have a similar problem.

Try washing your hair and when it is damp, twist small section into little buns and secure it with a bobby pin (that might be uncomfortable to sleep in though..) or small ponytail holder.

Sleep in this, wake up, spray a little hairspray and take them out and it should be pretty curtly :)

Running fingers through it helps to make it look a little natural, but brushing will make you have an afro so I don't reccomend it.

Hope this helps :)

Answer 6

Wash it & use as little conditioner as possible.  Flip her head over & put some product in it, mousse, gel, whatever.  Scrunch it with her upside down while you dry it.  Use the lowest setting on the hairdryer.  Viole!

Answer 7

get a good curling iron & let it stay on for at least 3O minutes. then when its all super hot, get a hair spray, get the pieces of hair u want to url, spray little on it, thn curl it, an dhold it for long.(= it works!

Answer 8

If you use a really thin flat iron like the Conair Jilbere Ceramic Tools 24MM Flat Iron -- use it like how you would with a curling iron and then use a strong hold hair-spray ...it really works. My hair stylist does this all the time an it works!!!!
