Holding the iron horizontally

The best way to achieve natural-looking waves is to hold the curling iron vertically, not horizontally.

Curling towards your face

Create waves that curl away from your face to accentuate your cheekbones. Waves that go inwards, towards the face can close off your face.

I don’t usually wear my hair short…but when I do I use @chihaircare #farouksystemsgiftedme —————— The 🔥 Lava Pro Spin & Curl tool 🔥 is the first of it’s kind I’ve used and if you have short to medium length hair, I think it’s a life saver! It makes curling your hair pretty effortless since it does all the work, so anyone can use it! If you want to try it too go to the CHI website and use code ‘JENNA15’ for $ off! 💥Public Service Announcement 💥 I don’t get anything when you use the code I just want you guys to get some savings!! —————— Here’s what I loved: ❤️It heats up super quick, up to 410 degrees ❤️Doesn’t burn you because the iron is inside the barrel ❤️Curls pieces so easy and effortlessly, just pop them in and press a button ❤️Has a 1 hour auto shut off incase you are in a hurry and forget it’s on! (That’s sooooo my style😭) —————— Here’s what I didn’t like: ❌I usually wear extensions and found it difficult / time consuming to style those because they are sooooo much longer and thicker than my natural hair. Just my thoughts, if you do wear them like me or if you have super thick – corse hair this may take more time for you! —————— 💥My final verdict is….definitely get this if you are tired of curling you hair manually and having to hold up an iron for long periods of time. It only took me about 2 minutes to curl my shoulder length hair and I brushed it out for a beachy wave look! It’s also great for people who are new to curling their hair as this is 99.9% fool proof! I also styled it using #chihaircare hair spray which gives great hold! #octolyfamily #gifted #pr #review #hairtutorial #hairstyles

Curling too much hair at once

If you try to curl too much hair at once, not all of it will get hot. Be patient and work in small sections of about two inches.

Brushing out too quickly

Once again, patience is key, and it doesn’t take long to create the perfect curls. If you brush or run your fingers through your hair right after curling it, the curls will fall out quickly. Wait until your hair is cool before touching it.
