Soft Messy Curls Tutorial for Long Hair

Since I have received many emails asking me how do I do my soft curly hair, I decided to do a hair tutorial. This is my first time doing a hair tutorial in my blog, and I hope you like it!

In Chinese: ????????????????, ???????????????????. ????????????????. ???????????, ??????!

1. That’s normally what my hair looks like without any styling products, after washing.

2. Begin by pinning up the top half of the hair with a big clip.

3. Spray heat protection in each small section. I use Vidal Sassoon Spray Heat Protect & Shine

4. Wrap 2? sections of hair around a 1-1/4″ curling iron (I got mine from my hairstylist).  Do not curl the ends of the hair; leave the last inch untouched. I think it’s best to begin with the bottom part of the hair, and work on up to the top of the head as you go.  I alternated the direction I wrapped the hair around the curling iron, wrapping one section clockwise, the next section counter-clockwise, so that the end result wouldn’t look too neat, with all the curls lying in one direction.

5. Continue curling all around the bottom section of hair, then work your way up to the crown of your head in sections.

7. Continue curling the hair in the same way until you’re done.

9. If you want, you can also use a smaller curling iron in some areas, to give more effect.  This isn’t science, it’s art, so be creative with it!  I never curl it exactly the same way twice.

12. I straightened the part of the hair close to the scalp, near the roots, with a 1″ straightening tool, I use FHI Heat Platform Styling Iron (It’s my personal favorite!). Keep in mind, I only straighten the surface hair.

13. Get in all your hair with your fingers and just make a MESS!

14. That’s how the hair looks after everything is done.

15. Keep flipping and twisting and messing with the hair as the day goes on; the more you muss it all up, the cooler you’ll look!

16. Now change to your favorite outfit of the day, and walk confidently onto the street!!!
