How can I curl my hair, so it actually stays?

I love to curl my hair, and i look great with curly hair, but... it never stays. Pretty much 5-10 mins. after I finish it it all comes out. I've tried hair spray, (many different kinds). and mousse, and gel. but none of it works. my hair is pretty thick and has a little bit of a natural wave but not much.How can I curl my hair, so it actually stays?
Use a shampoo that brings out its natural curl. Put hairspray on your hair BEFORE you curl it, and after. Make sure you dont use too much, so it won't get sticky.How can I curl my hair, so it actually stays?
I agree use shampoo and conditioner that brings out your natural curl then put curl defining mousse in your wet hair then blow dry it then put hairspray on your hair while it is on the curling iron then after too. Hope it helps :-)
Scrunch it over nite orr put gel or mousse on it (i prefer gel) and put it in a bun overnight but thats for a messy curlly hair style

If youu want the unmessy curls i wud say to like curl it but as your curlin it spray it wid hair sprayy. Like bring up the curler and as its on the iron spray it. And hold it there longer. Have a frenn to helpp. Not neccesarry
