CC Beauty Live: Soft Curls

July 11, 2009 - 10:00 am By Caitlin-University of Alabama

Have you ever tried curling your hair only to end up with tight, Shirley Temple style curls? Or, worse, attempted to use a curling iron and ended up with blistered fingers and straight, fried hair? Well then I’m here to help!

Contrary to popular belief, it’s not hard to achieve soft curls or waves. And you don’t have to be a professional to do it. The key is playing with your hair a bit to loosen up the curls so you look more “beachy wave” and less “so stiff it doesn’t move.”

Just follow me through the steps and in under 7 minutes you will have the perfect curls for day or night. Happy curling!

    Wow, thanks for this! I have really long hair, but this was still really helpful, because I can never get my hair to curl right (and I have no idea what I’m doing!) I’m going to go out and buy a bigger curling iron though, definitely – I’ve been using that Conair one. Oops!

Single. And That’s Okay, Aunt Helen!

As much as I love my family, sometimes their questions can be a bit too much. While I appreciate their interest in my life, I don’t feel the need to explain the details of the break up with my long term boyfriend to my uncle while waiting in line for cranberry sauce. Similarly, having my conservative aunt question me about boys that I might marry while she calmly serves out pumpkin pie just takes away my appetite!
