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!
