Steps to crimp your hairs with the help of a straightener

First Step:

First of all, take a mouse and apply styling mousse on your hairs, but keep in mind, apply the mouse on hairs only when your hairs are dry, clean, and straight.

If you apply the straightener on dirty hair, your hair will fry and be damaged using a hair straightener.

Second Step:

Now pull a part of your hair in a loose bun and keep the bottom of the hairs half loose. You will get more hair to work with while keeping extra hairs out of the way.

Try to work with a smaller portion of hairs; small portions of hairs you will work with more will be easy for you to crimp the hairs.

Third Step:

Now spray the small sections of your hair with a heat protection spray; it will protect your hair from damage if the straightener has more heat. Apply the spray gently to your hair.

Once you have applied the heat protection spray on your hairs, now take the straightener and use it down on the hair section.

Try to get closer to the roots of the hairs as much as possible. But keep heating at a medium level.

You can use any of the hair straighteners, but a wider straightener works quickly and in a better way than other straighteners.

Now rotate the straightener upwards, without leaving the hair sections, flip the straightener at an angle of 180 degrees, move it gently downward, start it from the first curve and clamp it down.

Fourth Step:

Next to that, rotate the straightener upward while gently tugging down on the hairs’ loose ends. Repeat the same process until you get perfect crimping in your hairs.

But keep in mind not tug downward with hands; always use a hair straightener for upward and downward movements.

Fifth Step:

Once you have completed one portion of your hairs, now repeat the same procedure for each section one by one.

Do not make thick portions; a thin section will be easy for you to crimp.

Once all hairs have crimped, let your hairs for some time become cool; avoid touching the hairs; you may mess the crimps on hairs touch them before cooling.

Now apply some spray on your hairs with hairspray; it will maintain your hair crimps for a longer time.
