Where only the bottom is curly and the top is straight. I've tried, but it was a fail ;\ and it only made my hair look poofy.



How long are you suppose to keep it around the curling iron for and how much hair do you use for each curl?

I'm very confused!How do I get curls like this using a curling iron?
my sister do that most of the time but i saw her using flat iron not curling iron,first she straighten her hair using the flat iron then get a section of her hair and wrap it around the flat iron (just like what you do with the curling iron) for about 10-20 secs.depending on the thickness of the hair,then she just do that over and over again to all the sections of her then finish it with hairspray.



i dont know if i explained that right =P but i hope that helped =)How do I get curls like this using a curling iron?
curl small sections within each part. use a one-and-a-half inch ceramic curling iron to create these curls.” Finish with styling spray.
