How to Get Jersey Curls
Shows like MTV's "Jersey Shore" and The Style Network's "Jerseylicious" have made the "Jersey" look popular, which includes big hair, whether curly or straight. Achieve Jersey-style curls, such as those sported by Deena Nicole Cortese, the latest addition to the "Jersey Shore" cast, by using curling products, including extra-hold gel, as well as volumizing tools, such as fine-toothed combs. The idea is to make curls look "wet," as though you just emerged from the ocean in Seaside, New Jersey. Does this Spark an idea?

Shampoo and condition hair as usual. Blow hair out with a diffuser for both volume and curls. Spray a curling spray all over your head, then scrunch sections with your fingers while hitting sections with the diffuser. Blow dry hair until almost dry -- think slightly damp hair.

Squirt about a dime-size amount of extra-hold gel into your palm and rub your hands together. Apply the gel to your hair by scrunching hair in sections. The gel will help hold the curls in place and gives you those slightly wet Jersey curls.

Tease sections of hair by backcombing using a fine-toothed comb for volume. Style hair as desired, using any accessories, such as hair clips and headbands, as you see fit.

Tips & Warnings
Pile hair in sections on the top of your head and secure with claw clips to give hair extra curl and definition. Take the clips down after an hour or more for best results.
