You take so much time curling your hair for a party and mid party your curls are more like waves going flat. Here are 6 steps to create curls that have staying power.
Step 1: Wash hair from oil and dirt. Oil and dirt weigh down hair. This includes conditioner, so go easy on applying a heavy amount.
Step 2: Towel dry and use a lightweight product that protects hair from heat (Smoothie by Hair Bar NYC).

This will also help detangle the hair to distribute the Volumizing mousse (by Hair Bar NYC) from root to ends.

Step 3: Time to Blow dry. This isn’t going to be one of those beautifully sleek, glossy looking blow outs. Soft hair will not hold a curl for long. Instead use a paddle brush or just work through with your fingers. Flip your head over while blow drying for added volume.
Step 4: Mist some hairspray (Stay Perfect Hairspray by Hair Bar NYC) on each section before wrapping it around the curling iron. Adjust Curling iron temperature with higher heat for thicker hair section. Cutting sections smaller will create tighter curls. Tighter curls will take a much longer time to loosen up into waves.

Sections should be spread out down the barrel of the curling iron so heat is distributed evenly to every inch of the hair section.
Step 5: Scrunch curl as it cools off in your hand. It will mold as it cools.
Step 6: Spray those bouncy curls with hairspray (Stay Perfect Hairspray by Hair Bar NYC)
