BEAUTY TIP: LONG LASTING CURLS…
HOW TO STYLE THEM AND HOW TO GET THEM TO LAST
Get this look and have it last for up to 5 days!
THE CURL PROCESS:
- Apply a heat protectant to wet hair, such as Oribe’s Royal Blowout Heat Styling Spray, and dry thoroughly
- Use a 1.5 to 2” curling iron and direct curls away from the face, starting from about 4-6 inches from the scalp and pulling through the ends (depending on length of hair and where you want the waves to start)
- For added volume and texture start by curling away from your face, then alternate curl direction throughout the rest of your hair
- Apply a few drops of oil to your palm (we love Kerastase Elixir Ultime), rub hands together and finger comb the oil throughout your hair to separate curls, add shine, and tame static and flyaway
THE MAKE IT LAST PROCESS:
- Get yourself a silk or satin pillowcase. Not only do they help preserve your style they are better for your hair by creating less friction while you sleep that can cause breakage
- In the evening brush out tangles with a soft bristle brush (try a Rock and Ruddle—you’ll love it)
- Twist hair into a loose bun at the top of your head and secure with a silk or velvet scrunchie.
- When you wake up, shake out your hair, apply dry shampoo (we recommend Fresh Hair by Kevin Murphy) to your roots and brush through
- Apply your oil in the same way as you did after you curled your hair and let settle for a few minutes
- Finish with a light setting spray if desired
MORE PRO TIPS
*Be sure to grab a good shower cap to wear in-between washes and wrap your hair beneath the cap as you would to go to sleep before showering or bathing. This will prevent the humidity from flattening your curls 😉.
*These tips are great if you have hair extensions as well. Shampooing less often also adds the benefit of extending the life of your extensions AND your hair color.
