Step One: Heat Iron Before anything, one of the most important things of applying heat to the hair, whether curling or straightening, is to use a high-quality styling tool. Picking out the right iron will help prevent any glitches in the curling process. Find a curling iron with the right plating and steer away from gold plated curlers and chose one that is ceramic plated for more protection. Once you have the right tool, set the curling iron to a moderate heat setting—no higher. Some think that they need to set the iron to the highest temperature, but Naz says that for even the thickest of hair it is important for the temperate to remain set below 350 degrees. Keep in mind that older devices’ heat settings become more inaccurate with time. Step Two: Prep Hair While the iron is heating, prep hair. Before anything, hair has to be completely dry. Often steaming hair means that hair is damp and this is when damage is caused. Naz Kueplian suggests using a primer such as the Naz Kupelian salon’s “Sleek,” $13.95, which will prevent flyaways and give you a smooth, soft blowdry. One of the easiest ways to prevent damage is with a heat protecting spray or serum. Used properly, these products coat strands to prevent damage and retain moisture. Naz suggests you apply a primer like “Satin Pillow Top,” $13.95 from the Naz Kupelian salon to coat and protect each strand of hair for a soft, polished finish that is split-end free. Step Three: Curl Once the hair is prepped, it’s ready to curl. According to Naz, the most important thing while curling is to not keep the heat on the hair for too long—a common mistake. 10 -15 seconds is a safe time to hold the curl, and if there is a need for longer time —proceed with caution. Gradually increase by just a second or two to prevent hair from damage, split ends and burning. If, by mistake, any hair damages occur, be sure to go to your stylist immediately. They will be able to recommend a treatment or cut to prevent any further damages. Step Four: Finish After all that work be sure finish the look with hair spray! Naz recommends the Naz Kupelian “Switch It” Versatile Hairspray, $12.95. The latest in spray technology, the rotating nozzle offers light, medium, or heavy sprays to provide a long lasting hold. Finishing the hair with spray will serve as a humidity barrier to keep those curls in shape all day long!
