I found this product called dream coat and you put it in damp hair (use 8times more product then you think you should use. Anyways, it's basically like rain-x in simple basic terms (what I notice) which when blow dryed and straightened or curled seals it and I can spray a little water on my hair and it beads off and normally my hair gets oily after 24 hours and have to wash every other day unless I throw my hair in a bun but this makes me hair not get oily for 5 to 7 days. I don't know how. It's witch craft. haha. I'm super icy silver blonde now and straighten it stick straight and touch my hair all day so this is a God send Wish I found it sooner. The products I use normally once out the shower is about 5 or 6. Total price is roughly 250. But with Dream coat I only use that and oil to smooth any crazy hairs that say ha Nope. I'm standing tall and showing any bad choices you made with bleach/toners. and its cheap. omg I sound like I sell this. haha. I'll go sit down.

For those of us who have fine hair strands but A LOT of it, so it takes a long time to get through and by that point the bottom half your curls have fallen due to the weight of your hair. A trick that I do is from about the top of the ear down I take chunks that are about a straw to a staw and a half in thickness curl them and then pin all of them. The top half I just curl normally and let them cool hanging. The chunks up here are usually about two straws in thickness. This method does take a bit longer but if you have the issue where the bottom half of your curls always fall but the top half stays tight this helps. As for temperature I have hair that has never been died, I air dry every day and use hot tools (hair dryer and curling wand) 3 to 4 times a year. I use 320F (160C) sometimes 310F (154-155C) if my hair is feeling really dry and leave it on the wand for 5 to 10 seconds depending on the thickness of the hair chunk.

Kayley you are a great teacher Whether you know it or not you were using several teaching techniques that I have been taught by my daughter's sign language teacher for communicating concepts like big and small to a young toddler. LOL The techniques are good for any ageI was wondering if hormones from pregnancy and nursing effect using heat tools on hair. when I was pregnant I did not get that mythical preggo thick hair that everyone was saying was coming but my hair did grow in darker and postpartum my hair did start falling out alarmingly fast around 10 weeks after giving birth for a month or two. My hair has a fine texture and I've got a lot of it It is pretty much a virgin to chemicals and I very rarely use heat on it. I think my curling iron is set to 330 degrees but after this video I am thinking about bumping it up to 350 to see if that helps with some of my styling frustrations. Thanks

Hi So funny that you posted this now I just bought my first curling iron a couple of weeks back, and I've been trying to figure out the right temperature for me. I've got very fine/thin Nordic/Scandinavian hair that's straight like a needle, I don't blow dry it much, and I've only dyed it once in my life. I've had the curling iron at about 360F, holding the hair around it for about 10 seconds, and the hair gets hot to handle (yes, I've learned the hold the curl up while it's cooling-method watching your videos; ), but the curl still won't hold very long. Could I use some kind of spray (other than heat protection) before curling, or maybe straight after letting the curl drop from my hand? Thanks so much for so many extremely helpful videos Love from Norway: )

Excellent explanation. I have naturally curly (type 3B) medium density, medium porosity hair at a natural level 3. I currently have some level 5/6 red highlights. To straighten my hair with a flat iron I use 390F or 400F. To curl with irons I use 400F because I pass it through very quickly. I am very careful when using 400 because I have found that metal tools can heat my hair above 400 if left on too long even when set to 400 and that it will loosen my curl pattern permanently. I have unfortunately learned this lesson with a flat iron, a curling iron, and a ceramic thermal brush and blow dryer. I rarely style my hair with flat irons or curling wands these days, but I do diffuse it dry regularly and blow it out with a large boar bristle brush on occasion.

You are so funny and I got to know a hella lot of stuffs from you which hairstylists generally at the salon won't talk about I'm at the thicker, waist length, pure black, virgin hair side lol. Its wavy to straight hair. I straighten it with my ghd does a good job though it took time to figure out even that But curling has always been awful. I was planning why not curl it, give it a try for today but didn't really know whatta do which my crazy hair. And there you are The Hair Goddess heard my queries maybe? Lol This video is super helpful now. I'll pump up the heat setting this time till 400 and see if that works for my hair and let ya know Thanks Kay Love from India

I have waist-length, VERY thick (and very frizzy) hair that holds a curl well, though my natural texture is a 2B wave. I have highlights from a few months ago, so I deep condition my hair rather than traditionally condition it to maintain its health and hydration. Holding my hair for around 6-8 seconds on a wand heated to 400 is usually what does the trick, but if you have hair like mine be VERY careful to section your hair correctly. Taking too big of a section means the hair wont be able to heat through completely and you wont get the curl you want.

I have never curled my hair before, it's always seemed too scary. I've had other people curl my hair maybe 5 times ever and most of the time it fell immediately, but 2 times it stayed for a couple days. I'm hoping I can learn to curl my hair for special occasions and I think this helped. I have very fine hair strands that are long and likely undamaged since I never dyed it or use heat. I'm guessing 325F-350F for around 5-8 seconds will be my best bet. now to find a curling iron since (at 23 years old) I don't even own one lol

Oh wow this is so helpful I gave up trying to curl my hair as it grew longer it was just too hard. Recently been experimenting again to mixed results. I had no idea about the heat setting I have been jacking up the curler as high as it goes Im not sure what temp I had it at exactly but the curls were super hot when I was trying to pin them. I just toughed it out as I thought it was part of the process going to check the temp settings on my curler tomorrow, start around the middle and go from there
