Curling short hair is different than curling long hair. You need to increase the volume of the curls and plan to carefully cover any holes that may show up since the hair is shorter and you have less of it to work with. Curling short hair and putting it up is a great way to do this.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

Step1
Comb and section the hair. You should section the hair so that the majority of the hair is going toward the front of the head. The back section of hair should begin below the hairline.
Step2
Divide the back of the hair into two separate sections and put them into two ponytails. These ponytails are located on the back of the head, not on the sides. This will increase the volume and hold the hair in place when you put it up.
Step3
Take a small section of hair from one of the ponytails. Comb it out and remove tangles.
Step4
Spray the section of hair with hair spray. Curl the hair with a curling iron. Be sure to draw the curling iron to the edge of the hair, and then roll the curling iron straight in toward the head. The curling iron should be parallel to the head.
Step5
Release the curling iron by drawing it down. This will help the curl to stay in. If you pull it out, it won't stay in the same spiral shape.
Step6
Repeat steps 3 to 5 until all of the hair in the two ponytails is curled.
