Kouturekiss - Perfect The Natural Looking Wave

Step 1: The first step in any hairstyle involving a heat tool is to prep your hair. I used TRESemme Keratin Smooth Heat Protection Shine Spray first, followed by a light misting of TRESemme Ultra Fine Mist Hair Spray. I find that prepping my hair with hairspray helps the curls to hold better. The secret to a classic wave hairstyle is a small barrel curling iron, a clip-less one that is. I will be using my Cortex 4 in 1 curling iron set with the smallest barrel which is a 1/2-1″. Now on to the fun part! (more…)

Quick 1" Curls Tutorial For The Fine Haired Girl

When I think of 1-inch-curls I think of Taylor Swift. Luckily, her curls are simple to achieve, even with fine hair. I recommend using a 1-inch-curling rod to get the look. (I use the Conair Infinity Rod and it runs for $25-30 at drug stores)

  1. Start off by using a heat protectant throughout your hair to protect from any damage.
  2. Next, spray some moose into your palms.
  3. Take the moose and massage it into your roots to add volume and to make the curls hold better. This is an important step for girls with fine hair because without having anything to hold them together, curls will easily fall out.
  4. Part your hair where it naturally parts (mine is right down the middle) and clip up one half to get it out of the way. (more…)

— Hair Length:

My hair is absolutely impossible to curl. I have tried every method, every product, and every tool and each time it’s a total fail. However, I have recently discovered something that actually does the job — curling rods.

The only difference between a curling rod and a curling iron is that the curling rod does not have a clamp. Therefore, to get the perfect curl, you have to wrap your hair around the iron as appose to clamping it underneath. I use the Remington curling iron — its super cute (and pale pink!) and I like it because its larger in width than the typical curling rod so it makes really voluminous curls.

  1. Start off with semi-dirty hair – curls last longer in hair that has not been recently washed. Take a mousse product (I used Aussie’s Catch the Wave mousse) and scrunch your hair with it to add some texture and loose volume. (more…)
