6 Different Ways To Curl Your Hair | Sam Villa

Redken Education Artistic Director Sam Villa demonstrates 6 different ways to curl hair using a curling iron and flat iron. These techniques start off easy then progress to a more difficult skill level, so whether you are a beginner or a curling iron expert...we’ve got a tutorial for you.
View complete step by step details for each of the 6 curls here www.samvilla.c...
Curls & Waves In This Video:
1. Flat Wrap - The flat wrap technique creates a wide yet tight wave. You'll use a curling iron for this technique.
2. Lazy Curl - This technique will produce a soft yet lazy curl. You'll use a curling iron for this technique.
3. Spiral Curl - A spring-type curl with added texture. You'll use a curling iron for this technique.
4. Red Carpet Waves - A combination of the flat wrap and spiral wrap. This is how you create gorgeous Hollywood Waves! You'll use a curling iron for this technique.
5. Push Waves with a Flat Iron (also called an S Wave) - This is a very organic and natural wave and requires the use of a flat iron.
6. Ribbon Curl with a Flat Iron - Use this method to create a slightly tighter curl or a loose curl (depending on your compression & speed).

I like that he admitted he kinked the hair at the very beginning, shows humility, I have respect for a teacher like that. Made me want to watch and learn.

[@LillyFromTheBlock1]

I immediately noticed that as well and it really speaks of his integrity and transparency.

[@christyw6019]

Tala K he got one answer wrong and then he immediately admitted it. You’ve never had a teacher correct themselves before?

[@zakiahabibi9028]

I finally curled my hair

[@andrewjames2617]

He is a great teacher. He’s been giving back to our community for decades. He really loves what he does.

[@ivyburns1329]

"my finger is pretty hot... my finger is starting to melt. time to move on." i love this guy!!

[@squishyharms4427]

[@blueberrypomegranate]

loved that part to hehe

[@karenm5723]

a hot glove will do trick

[@halogirl4197]

Why are there so many other professionals on here hating on him? Isn't the point of us being cosmetologists is to learn from each other's techniques and help each other? Honestly, if you think you know everything about this business then you might as well go right out the door. As for him "burning" her hair, he's doing the technique slowly in order to show us what he's doing. If he was doing this for real then he would be doing it much faster so it wouldn't cause the dents. And if you don't like the curls, then that's fine! No one is forcing you to do these on your clients. But coming on here with your nose stuck in the air claiming he's doing everything wrong is childish. Everyone does everything differently in the cosmetology world and you snooty haters aren't perfect either.

[@angelmiller7518]

It's called having competition

[@NatNatNLJC]

I think that's the most informative hair tutorial I have ever watched on KZbin, in depth instructions and great close ups

[@taranaliceart]

we need teachers like you who are able to explain in details

[@lindyxiao8770]

+Darkalisia Satans Only if school worked how like if you are determined to do something you would like to do from day 1 and "Actually try" U know

[@somethingspecialxox]

Ugh absolutely. I could not pay attention in grade school for the life of me.. high school got a little better, college was the best because I had amazing professors who were passionate about the field and took the time to actually explain things even though they were speaking to 100+ students at times.

[@followurheart1]

Taran Darkalisia agree, why explains everything and is easier to comprehend, i always need the answer to why!!😁

[@marshamcdonald1475]

He is an excellent teacher😍

[@marshamcdonald1475]

Something special: So many teachers in college Run through the subject. What university did you Attend with awesome teachers???

[@kimhuyser6175]

I love how thoroughly you explain things. Not just the DO this but the WHY you do this. THANK YOU, Sam! 💕

[@cathyperez6801]

I ved watched a lot of videos about styling hair, but i like the way that Sam Villa demonstrate it.. and i dont see anything wrong in the way he talked, its perfect! I feel inspired and sure i will never forget his reminders.. i just love it..thanks for the useful tips.. i hope i will have chance to chat with u because i want to learn a lot more.. and to those people who are commenting not so good.. better not to comment if u didnt like the way he presents, just be thankful that ur learning something for free.. if u didnt like it, he is not forcing u to do it anyway..peace!

[@67sunnygirl]

Mr. Villa, I was redirected here from the Redken site, and I must say this video may have changed my life! I am 50 years old and just realized, as important as curls are to me, I have been doing it all wrong. Your teaching style is spectacular. I cannot wait to try these techniques and watch your other videos! I thank you *so* much for taking the time to educate!

[@MaryAnn-mn3fm]

My favorite is the S curl. Being a big fan of 1940s wavy hair I'm always looking for ways to get face frame S waves. This is the easiest way to do it! Also I love the way Sam demonstrates the technique then asks questions to see if you get it. Thank you again for another great video!

[@MrJesuslovesme3]

I love you Sam! I am an industry professional. I love your work and your free will to share knowledge!

[@Tyndalic]

You are the Master. Some of this is new to me. Some I forgot. Thank you, Sam Villa. You are a true artist. I appreciate sooo much! Kudos, my friend.

[@samvillahair]

Thanks for the love!!!

[@loremolinao23]

Finally a video that shows how to get nice curls!! And all the styles!! I used not to make curls very often because I thought it was difficult but Sam explained it so easy! Great job and thank you for sharing your tips with us! I will start to practice :)

[@dancegirlhaver3182]

I wanted to tell you thank you! you helped me curl my hair perfectly for a Gatsby dance I was performing in using the watch technique! everyone kept complimenting me on my hair saying how beautiful it looked! :)

[@sav4894]

I love this video!! I'm a slow learner, but I understand and memorized every steps you taught Sam! Love the wave and ribbon curl. :) Thank you so much!!!

[@samvillahair]

Glad you loved it!

[@MeechinAtown]

Dont you love it. He slow it down just enough for you to understand clearly. Like even fried chicken, Lmao.

[@brightandsunny]

Excellent tutorial and so generous for this knowledgable professional to want to share his techniques. You can tell he really wants to teach you and have you understand the whys and hows of what is being done. Thank you Sam!!

[@candicebergstrom4490]

wow! thank you soooo much for taking the time to share these techniques with us. I learned a lot! I hope that you're not allowing the negative comments to get to you. some people just have nothing better to do. Tfs.👍

[@shupingmurphy1026]

+candice bergstrom agree!

[@unknownangel3101]

Your an excellent teacher, thank you! People do not appreciate what you are giving them, as when i trained to be a stylist in the UK many years ago, at College, we only had books, teacher demonstrations, and the odd video tutorials. The trainees today do not know they are born with the internet and youtube. If we had to learn other techniques, we had to pay for courses that cost alot of money...so guys out there, please be more appreciative, you are truly lucky to be able to watch these professionals, for free really! Best wishes, Anna UK! 💕

[@pennimoore4957]

I love this guy's tutorials: professional, educational, maybe they're more for doing someone else's hair rather your own but super interesting techniques [the cutting as well as styling ones]. I trust this professional skills level

[@nancyagostini2610]

Having the iron off is so smart! You are a magician Sam! Thank-you for your tutorials!

[@sweeet414]

Thank you Sam villa!! I shared an elevator with you before (in New Orleans at the behind the chair show) knowing just a tiny bit about you but right now I am learning so much from you on your KZbin video series. I love my thinning shears and new brush and am planning on getting some more of your tools! You inspire me. Thank you so much for sharing your passion with the hair world. I love how big your heart is.

[@samvillahair]

+sweeet414 You are so kind! I love getting to interact with everyone at the shows, so thank you for reaching out. Wishing you all of the success!

[@kynellethompson5539]

Sam Villa Hair Tutorials OK nice

[@thornedrose18]

This is what we pay professionals for. I think this is the best hair curling tutorial ever!

[@nataliep3744]

This is my first time watching this guy but I just gotta say, I love him!!

[@jeanellallan4614]

I give the man props.. Alot of artists keep their techniques to themself or general. he loves teaching. I also like to teach

[@jackiemathes9373]

This was an excellent tutorial for understanding how to achieve different curl styles! I never knew how the twists and wraps created the ridges and valleys of the curl. I feel like I've just upped my hair game significantly after this video!

[@emilyforcade2995]

I’m an MD. Mr Villa’s tutorials help me understand the natural world. Everything follows the same rules. He is brilliant.

[@sarakindlan-arnison8404]

I love this! Love how Sam explained the detail rather than just doing it as well as using a flat iron not just a curling iron!!

[@thinkathena2]

This looks like so much fun! Too bad KZbin wasn't around when I was younger. My hair would have looked so much different!

[@wowwee0]

Your technique has given me the exact epitome of wavy hair I've been striving for but could never experience first-hand. This has literally given me an inner joy at how pretty I feel with this hair. I love you for sharing these methods with us.

[@samvillahair]

You are so welcome!

[@HiralShah14]

I love the way this man speaks, kudos to the video!

I subscribed because he admitted he kinked the first piece. Idk why KZbin recommended this to me now 4 years late but I’m glad to see he still makes videos now!

[@KMayflower]

great tutorial! All curl types answered! Never fear Sammy is here...lol

[@eulaliaschultz4055]

THANK YOU SO SUPER MUCH FOR SHARING THIS! Everyone always only uses the Ribbon Curl. This short video is so JAM PACKED with hair curling goodness!

You are so welcome!

I watched this video without skipping through it.. that is unusual for me so you're special dude

[@carolynbblack9590]

Very clever use of the curling iron. I learned a lot. Clear instruction and. Not so much chit chat. Thanx Sam.

[@emilia6573]

you are AMAZING. this is by far the best curling hair tutorial video. 💖

[@RebeccaMidd]

He is great! I like the way he tells you that something is difficult but he shows you slowly how to do it. I learn something every video I watch!

[@JesseLuxe]

90 percent of these comments I am scrolling through are incredibly rude! I cannot believe how disrespectful people can be to someone they don't even know personally know. Sam Villa is an exceptional hair dresser and mentor, very widely know for his art and technique. All I keep reading is "dat girls hair fried" or "that old guy is __". If only people had as much confidence in their words in real life, as they do on the internet.

[@jenaguila4193]

Yep. I second that! LOL so many losers watching what they’re jealous of and then hatin’.

[@rachelw821]

@@jenaguila4193 I haven’t left rude comments but as a master stylist with 20 years behind the chair, I am disappointed in Sam (of all people) missing the mark on so much so far (halfway in and I take issue with multiple things he is doing that will absolutely NOT produce an ideal result) I normally love Sam but this is shockingly bad, from a professional standpoint

[@goong71]

Thanks you so much Sam for it tip.. lwill go and try to copy what u teach 😀

Very nice video, with clear and accessible instructions. You seem to be a great coach! Still, I doubt Id ever do any of it.. especially my back. On myself of course.

Lots of information here . As a stylist, I can learn so much more here than going to most hair shows. Many thanks .

[@shantelleteaford7476]

The "lazy" curl is a lot of work. Haha

[@Bambibot]

I know right

[@streetofdreams4538]

Yup, the "lazy" describes the curl type, not the technique! It could maybe have been called a loose wave/curly wave/wavy curl...or something like that to be less confusing!

[@lucymarion2945]

Hahaha....I know right???

[@ashleypg1708]

Haha I know, I was like, "Finally, the method for me!" And then, "Nope, nvm!"

So right 🙈😆

you not only show us HOW to do this, you show us WHY. thanks, you are awesome!

[@j.d.yj.a.y1347]

OK I'm a professional stylist.. What are these comments , " the hair looked fried" " did u see the smoke"? " there's a major gap in the hair"? ...uhhhhh for one is any hair that has been processed perfect? ( NO) ..THE smoking hair is the product it seals the curl! And the " gap" is what let's the curl fall from top of head to head its ur base point for a curl.. Common . jeeze.

[@JustMaylee]

I bet you don't have lots of clients if that's your answer to what this old guy is messing up here!

[@danielhartle3778]

JustMaylee this "old guy" young hairstylists act like if U R over 50 that U shouldn't do hair. it's really showing your lack of respect for yourself and others. If U R lucky maybe U will still b doing hair at his age.

[@sunsuz98]

J.D.Y J.A.Y 😳

[@leighannmcgowan5239]

I think hes very talented...but not practical for most people..I dont agree with using a heat protectant ..I dont feel.they do anything..women went without them.for decades lol ....I've been curling my hair for years and it's very healthy without using one ...I really see no difference ..

[@staceysigler3806]

Not all of the viewers are "Professional stylists " so a few words that are "common" to a pro might make it easier to understand the entire technique AND recreate it ourselves when the salon isn't an option.

[@sissythompson1936]

I'm not a professional just a girl wanting to try new styles with my frizzy untamed curly hair. I've been straighten my hair with a blow dryer for over 15 years but I miss my curls, however, all the years of straighten my hair has changed the way my curls look, blah. .By far this is the best demonstration on achieving sorts of curls. I like your videos and I learned a lot, thank you.

[@devinaanindita8742]

Love this video. Thanks, but really your style reminds me of grandpa from UP!

[@mojokg13]

Respect sir, from one stylist to another, and those S waves!!? Wow! Lovely!!

[@SuperSumbal]

Hi, I did it and it came out well. I followed all ur steps for holding curl in hand before it gets cool. It was good but in the after 2 hours the curls opened. I hv wavy hair naturally. Please suggest 5 how to keep style till the end of the party.

People need to stop whining like five year olds who didn't get the toy they wanted in the store. This guy is AMAZING! Girls, don't be jealous because a guy can do hair better than you. If you don't like the way the curls look them back out of the video! Simply say, I really don't like the way he does this but if others like it then that's great! Don't be like, These are the worst curls I have ever seen. ~(a girl actually made that comment down below) Her hair looks great. You must be blind or some shit.

[@gracieeee1756]

You, sir, are a wonderful teacher! You know what proves that point? You admitted your mistake. But a good student will also learn from that mistake. Thank you so much for the video and for taking the time to show us the different techniques. Amazing!!

[@gamegalcolor7500]

I thought this was helpful but I guess everyone hiding behind a keyboard is an expert on hair.

[@rachelw821]

I have 20 years experience behind the chair, as a master stylist I have learned a thing or two and there are several issues I find with this video, and I’m only 6 minutes in. I won’t mention the iron mark in the hair because he touched on it. First of all, the sections he is taking are way too large if you want the curl to last. Secondly, he immediately combs through the curl, which will also virtually ensure that the curls will not last! They need to cool off before brushing through with fingers or otherwise. Also I generally will not curl towards the face right at the hairline (obviously depending on the desired style) because it will make the hair in the face rather than opening the face up by curling away from. Most people don’t want to hide their faces behind their curls. And I’m only 6 minutes in!!!

[@hoistsalon9122]

Thanks for sharing. We need more teachers like you

[@HannahRosey]

wow hes so proffesional and precise lol

[@agneskraiss5789]

Oh my gosh, that last technique... I did NOT expect that result! I found this so helpful and educational, even after knowing how to curl my hair with a flat iron it was so cool to learn some new stuff!! Thank you, Sam Villa!!
