Follow Harri’s instructions for long-lasting curls:
1. Section the hair, starting at the nape of the neck.
2. Start curling from the nape of the neck and spray each section with a heat protectant first.
3. Start by curling with a styling iron at the base, holding the iron upright and turn 270-360 degrees depending on the desired curl.
4. Pull the styling iron calmly until you reach about halfway and remove the iron from the hair at that point.
5. Now continue curling where you left off, turning the iron again 270-360 degrees, so that a small twist will appear at the base.
6. Turn the section with your finger in the same direction as you curled it before leaving the section to cool.
7. Repeat the same steps for each section, turning every other section in the opposite direction from the previous one. The sections that frame the face should always be turned away from the face.
8. Finally, let the hair cool down for a while before combing the curls open with a fine-toothed comb, while finishing with a light hairspray.
