Things You'll Need:
- Thick curling iron
- Comb
- Thermal styling protectant
- Hairspray
-
Step 1
Comb your hair to loosen any snarls, as tangles will get in the way of a flawless hairstyle. Spray the thermal styling protectant all over your hair to shield it from the heat of your hairstyling tool. Do not neglect the ends, as they are the oldest part of your hair and need extra protection from breaking and splitting.
-
Step 2
Clamp down on the end of a fine section of hair, about 1/4 of an inch thick and one inch wide. You may pick up a lock of hair slightly thicker and wider than this, as your curling iron is thick and can accommodate more hair than a smaller curling iron; however, be advised that your waves will be less defined the more hair you curl at a time. Roll the curling iron upward so that the hair wraps itself around the barrel. Release after about seven seconds.

Step 3
Repeat Step 3 until your entire head of hair is curled to your satisfaction. Style your waves with your fingers; do not comb or brush through your hair, as this will make your hair staticky and break down your waves. Mist hair lightly with hairspray to help your waves retain their shape throughout the day.
