How to Do Layered Crimped Hairstyles

Simple hairstyles include curling or crimping to give hair texture and interest.

Creating different looks with your hair can accent outfits. For instance, if you are wearing a business suit, a bun can add to the polished and professional look you are going for. Women with longer hair tend to get into a rut when it comes to coming up with new ways to style their hair. With the availability of so many styles and techniques, it can become a little overwhelming. Crimping your hair is a simple way to get a different look without a lot of time and effort.

Things You'll Need

• Comb
• Hair crimper

Instructions

1. Wash and dry your hair as usual. Plug in the hair crimper to allow it time to heat up before using it.

2. Divide hair into three sections with the comb: one down the middle of your head and a section on each side. Then starting with the middle section, use the comb to separate a smaller layer of hair from the top of your head.

3. Crimp the top middle section of hair, starting closest to the scalp, and work your way to the bottom of the hair. Slide the hair in between the two heated plates of the hair crimper and press it together. Continue crimping the hair by dividing layers from the middle section until all the hair in that section has been crimped.

4. Start on one of the side sections, once again using the comb to divide the larger section into smaller 2-inch layers and crimping the layer of hair from the scalp to the ends. Continue crimping until all the hair in that section has been crimped.

5. Crimp the remaining front section as before, dividing the hair into layers and crimping from the top to the bottom until all of your hair has been crimped.

6. Part and style as you desire.
