Curling my hair with ghd's?

I have bee trying to curl my straight hair (it never curls!) using ghd's. I watched a video on you tube and went home to give it a go, trouble is on some parts of my hair the curls stick up and out rather than down and curly, some of it looks fab, but then i have big sticky up bits at the sides hahaha. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I am curling it the wrong way around the ghd's or am I holding it in the wrong position, please help, I would love some curls in my hair!

Curling my hair with ghd's?

it sounds like you may be holding the ghd's or bending them out wards rather than inwards. it is hard to explain how to do it properly, but you get a small section of hair straighten it then when you get the the bottom of the piece of hair start to twist it back towards your head. leave it for a few moments then release the ghd's and let the hair fall out. give the piece of hair a twist round your finger and see if that works any better for you.

Curling my hair with ghd's?

okay well make sure you curl your hair from the top inwards and whilst turning the straightners move them down the strans of hair. if you use treseme heat defense spray it gives the best results. and straighten the bits that stick out first. leave for five minutes to cool down, then curl and rap the curl round your finger in a twist and let go.

well start at the under side of your hair firstly,clip up all the hair and take one piece-not too thick-place on the ghds as if you were goin to straighten your hair then twist the ghds around your hair...to stop any pieces at the ends sticking out, twist into your head rather than away from it,don't stop twisting until all hair is pointing in and when taking off the ghds pull them down and out-don't open them or pull them out to the side...hope i helped!!

I can say I have no idea what you are curling your hair with BUT...I have really straight hair and I love having curls in my hair, and the only way that I could ever get any to stay was to you a marcel iron, any curling iron would do as long as it has high heat. (Be sure to use shampoo and conditioner for high heat: thermo-silk seems to be best for me) This shampoo and conditioner uses the heat to help your hair not hurt it. Either way a nice moose right out of the shower will help. You need something to give it texture and for the curl you make to hold to. Keep in mind I have stick straight hair that never curls unless I do this. I moose it, dry it and then I section off my hair. While making parts of about an inch thick starting from my nape (bottom of neck) to the crown (of course the top) I grab only enough hair to curl to start with maybe a half inch in thickness. A good way to know how much hair to put in the iron is to look at the diameter of the iron you are using. take only that much hair it will make it easier. Also this is going to take a while but I promise your curls will be worth it. I curl my hair like this and it will stay all day in the worst weather. Your products are most important they are going to allow you to keep and maintain your curl. Of course the shampoo and conditoner need to be for curls and heat, the moose whatever kind you like, and to finish your curl spray some holding spray right after you take the iron from the curl. This will set your curl before it cools allowing the hair to stay curled as it cools and sets itself in that shape. If you would like to seperate them before you spray do so quickly the longer you wait to spray and hold the sooner they will fall out. I hope this helps and if you would like some more info you may email me. Also I am a paul mitchell associate so I do have experience in hair care.

curl it in a down motion that will stop the curls going outwards or just use curling tongs that's a lot easier
