Stick-Straight Hair? How to Get it To Curl
Saturday January 5, 2008
I got a letter recently from someone dying for wavy hair, but her hair is stick-straight and won't hold a curl. Is there some sort of spray she needs, she wonders. Well yes, and no. While most hair has some natural curl in it, some of us have really, really straight hair that won't curl. The key to curl is product. Product allows curls to stay. Start with a thickening spray (I like Bumble & Bumble) applied to wet hair at the crown and roots. Comb through. Blowdry hair then spritz styling spray to 2-inch sections before curling either with a curling iron or in hot rollers. Finger-comb hair and set with styling spray. If this doesn't work, don't fight it. Maybe curls aren't for you.

It doesn’t matter what I put into my hair. It could be “extra hold” or “extra
strength,” and my long blonde locks would still be going straight. It does not matter how long I keep my hair in my curling, or how hot my hair may get. My hair still goes limp, especially when I step outside. When it is summer around here, it gets extremely humid and hot and everyone I know, who has the same kind of hair like me, it does the exact same thing - it goes limp! Oh well… What can a girl do? Move? LOL..
