    Ok So Ive been attemptiing to curl my hair lately , problem is my hairs dead straight and the curls last an hour at most.

    Any Tips or tricks or special methods used to keep the curls looking well and keep them .They just keep uncurling and looking frizzy after an hour.
    Any help?

    Ive been moussing the hair before hand to put a shine on em and make em tidier but it just doesnt seem to last.

    with dead straight hair you have to use a lot of product, use the mouse, scrunch your hair and use diffuser to drp, dont worrk about a bit of frizz because you can fix that with the curling thongs. Take your hair, a dividing it into sections, the same way you would when straightening (clip holding rest of your hair out of the way)and give it a spritz of a firm hold hair spray, then use thongs, hold for 5-10 seconds and release. when your turn. throw your head forward and spray the underneath of your hair generously, this will ad volume and prolong the curl effect! :)

    i've dead straight hair as well. best way i've found so far is use curling tongs and fructis hard hairspray or something along the same lines (it won't feel too hot but it looks good!) spray the hair when it's on the tong and then when it's released spray it again in the shape you want... curl it in fairly small sections... and when you're finished ... spray it again! your hair'll be like a rock but it'll stay nice and curly:)

    No just that your photo is up, you will get bombarded with pm's from honrey boardsters. Do it now before they have the scent!

    I find that heated roller work really well as you can keep them in your hair longer.
    Also try not to curl your hair on freshly washed hair - wait till the next day and they will tend to stay in longer. Use plenty of firm hairspray - i find shockwaves very good.

    My hair never curled at all, and if I got it to it went flat in a half an hour. I used to sleep with rollers in, but if it was in any way humid, it was alot of pain for no gain! Then I used heated rollers and kept them in for ages, and sprayed them when I took them out, and I finally had curls! (though slightly frizzy ones, but that was the way I took them out...)
