makeup c/o Root
If you haven’t heard of Root… it is worth checking out!
It is a common question I get here on the blog and on Instagram…
“How do you get your hair to curl like that?”
Honestly, I can get my hair to do pretty much anything I want
(aside from air drying and looking good).
I have spent YEARS playing with my hair and figuring out how it works best.
It takes time and patience. Before flat irons, I would spend over an hour on my hair every morning.
With all that said, know that using a flat iron to curl your hair takes practice.
I tend to always curl my hair away from my face. I think it looks better and my hair stays out of my face more consistently when I curl that way. When my hair was in a pixie cut,
I would alternate the direction of my curls. It is all personal preference.
Please note that in the video, my hair looks super brassy and orange.
I am not a videographer, and it filmed with a lot of warmth, so just ignore the coloring.
I also have no idea how to edit, so giggle at my “unprofessionalism” and turn your head at the awkward parts. 😉
Oh, I love those curls. Thanks so much!
Your hair (and make-up!) looks absolutely gorgeous! I had to laugh at the beginning of your post because I can't get my hair to do anything I want … including air drying and looking good! 😀 Definitely going to keep this technique in mind!
Great tutorial!! I never know what to do with my hair and usually default to a pony tail most days. I'm going to try your tips! ~Amy
Gorgeous hair! Found your blog via the Fab Link up! Thank you so much for your tutorial, I have been trying to figure out how to get these waves with my flat iron! Pinned and bookmarked your blog!

Very nice curls. Thanks for linking up at Who's Wearing What Wednesdays at Pastries, Pumps and Pi!

I love this! It's so easy to do and perfect for moms who want to look put-together without much effort. I love the products that you recommend as well. I'll definitely have to try. Thank you for sharing!
You're so gorgeous! I actually kinda hate doing my hair. My number one requirement in a hair-cut is that it's pony-tail length so I can just throw it up. Do you find you still do your hair ever day even though you live in a more remote area? My husband and kids don't care what my hair looks like, so I have zero motivation to style it nicely unless I plan on going somewhere.
LOVE IT! I do mine very similar but I'm going to try your finger method and see how that works! Also! YOUR EYES!!! They are stunning in those top pix!!!!
I am definitely going to have to pin this for later. I can never get the soft wavy curl look. My hair doesn't really do much , but I'll give this a try!
