How to Achieve a Lush Natural Curl

{fav}
The key to a large lush curl is a small curling iron!  
Weird I know but I have had great results.  
I initially thought that if I wanted a big curl I would need a larger iron but that is not the case.  Here is my secret weapon to a natural looking wave.

Conair Instant heat 1" Curling Iron

What does the web say?
  • 1" chrome barrel
  • 25 temperature controls for all hair types
  • Instant heat 60-second heat-up
  • Dual voltage
  • Electronic touch pad control switches
  • Auto shutoff
  • Ready to use, on/off indicator light
  • Patented Euro design, nonslip grip handle
  • Tangle-free swivel cord
  • UL listed
  • Limited two-year warranty
How much is it?
$14.99 suggested retail
Where can I get it?
www.conair.com , Sally Beauty Supply but the best price I have seen is on Amazon.com {13.99}
What does B* say?
I like the instant heat element it is great and I really like the fact that I can control the temperature.  I have tried many curling irons but this has been with me the longest and the cord is not all crimped and kinked {big pet-peeve}   


    Best way to achieve these results:
    1* Dirty hair!  I like to do mine scrunchy the day before with moose and or anti-frizz gel. {Product post to come} 
    2* Curl from the top down.
    3* Grab a 1.5" x 1.5' section place curling Iron at the top of your section and wrap hair around rod still holding end of hair with hand.
    4* Hold in place for 10-20 seconds
    5* Once all your hair is curled loosen curls by brushing them out {There is something about releasing the curl that adds volume and ultimately gives you the desired "Lush" loose wave.

    1. Brit, you are amazing. First of all cute site, nice work, like I said you are amazing. Second of all, I think you failed to mention that you have naturally beautiful hair and it may not work on someone with hair like me. Just kidding, you are awesome!

    2. You should post pics of how you wear your hair the day before. I have curly hair but usually straighten it. I think it would take a lot of time to curl my hair after wearing it scrunchy the day before?? SO, you should post some pics. Some pics of the lush curl would be awesome, too :)

      PS--I love this blog. So informative and fun to read!
