It's time for you to ditch your traditional look. Instead, make your hair the centre of attraction, and curls will do the trick for you! eople with limp hair or poker-straight hair always need to work harder to make their artificial curls last all day long. Unfortunately, some hair types do not hold curls well for long durations, but a little innovation and a few easy tips will do the trick. Read on to find out how to get bouncy curls and make them last longer. Prep your hair Prepping your hair before curling is instrumental in making the style long-lasting. Use a heavy shampoo and conditioner to weigh down your washed hair. If your hair is not too dry, wash them with a mild moisturizing shampoo. To get better results, curl your hair two or three days after shampooing because greasy hair can hold curls better than squeaky clean hair. Use clips Note that clips are your best styling friend for both pre as well as post-curl. If you want extra hold, set your curls with silver clips. Then, all you need to do is wrap the curl, pin it on top of your head, and leave it for a few minutes to let it set. After you unpin the curls, your hair will have more volume and structure. Size of the barrel matters If you want your curls to be long-lasting, switch to a curling tool with a smaller barrel size. For instance, if you are using a curling tool with a barrel size of one inch and your curls are falling, try using an iron with a smaller barrel. Also, divide your hair into sections, and curling smaller sections of hair will offer more hold and tighter curls. Try hot rollers If you have limp hair or fine hair texture that refuses to hold a curl, opt for hot rollers instead of a curling iron, as they may be a better option. Let the hot rollers sit in your limp hair for at least 10 minutes—or longer if you have more time. Use a setting spray A good setting spray will lock your curls in place for longer. Therefore, it is essential to invest in a good holding spray. For example, you may opt for a setting spray that offers heat protection to ensure good hair health and hold your curls tight. Keep your hands off You will want to brush out or touch your curls as soon as you have finished, but this causes curls to fall out quickly. Instead, spray your hairbrush with hair spray once the curls have cooled and gently pass them through with the brush. Give these tricks a try to firmly hold your curls and retain their shape!
