HOW TO CURL YOUR HAIR LIKE A PRO! TIPS + TROUBLESHOOTING!| Brittney Gray

[@BrittneyGray]

I see all of the comments requesting a video on how to make curls last on resistant hair! I will be addressing your hair type, condition, length, shape, products/tools and technique in regards to the topic. There are many contributing factors. Stay tuned!

[@ashleycnossen3157]

Thank you!

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge!

[@littlesunshine6012]

Hi Brittney Gray I was wondering if you could please make a DIY video how to get healthy hair at home my hair constantly feels rough and gross there is absolutely no shine to it whatsoever and I cannot afford the products that the hairdressers have recommended to me please and Thank you

[@andycummings2900]

Little Sunshine don’t know if it helps but I was having the same problem & started using Sally products. Once a month 2-step protein treatment, 1 x a week color sealer step 1 & 2 - mix step 1 with 4 oz water & leave on 30 minutes, rinse & then use step 2 for 30 minutes. Alternate weeks use BTZ last call mask mixed with step 2 & leave on 30 minutes after shampooing. These are bonding (Olaplex dupe) products. When Washing use Sally ion sulfate free shampoo & ion conditioner. Before shampooing put xtra virgin coconut oil in hair & leave over night. Started using a satin pillow & also a satin cap. Pull hair up in soft high bun to sleep - leaves lots of body & not tangled. Being really careful when combing wet & not using much heat & using ion Repair leave in Spray. Has really helped my hair. Stopped breakage, Looks shiny & healthy after about 3 months. Sally’s has lots of sales.

[@ashleybachowski9892]

Brittney Gray what about a curling wand?

[@krystaldawntiki1893]

I just figured out how to curl my hair. It just took me 33 years.

[@hannahHaii]

A tip for girls who don't have time in the morning is to curl your hair at night, tighter than you would actually want it .The curls will fall while your sleeping and you wake up with nice wavy hair. I do this all the time and usually only have to touch up a few face framing pieces in the morning!

[@JadeLeaf1980]

Tried that. Nope. Had a few waves, rest was a mess, flattened lol.

[@hannahHaii]

JadeLeaf1980 Oh really? That sucks, I was just saying what works for me but my hair tends to hold style well. I guess for people who have a hard time with curls staying place, this method wouldn’t work.

[@JadeLeaf1980]

My hair is incredibly thick and heavy, the only style it holds is “tragic mess”. It’ll stay vague,t straight but that’s it 😂

[@figgiejammer2337]

Thanks! I bet it makes those nice beach waves. I will try it.

[@uthinkurawesome]

Maybe try wearing a loose processing cap? That will sometimes help my hair

[@ashleymiller3114]

I am 26 and I’m DETERMINED to learn how to curl my hair! Thank you for the tips, I’ll have to try again soon.

[@DanielaCabrona]

Girl SAME lol I’ve used a straightener all my life

[@serialchiller1984]

Me too it’s so frustrating when I try to do it, I feel like such a failure at being a female 😂

I am the exact same age going through the same thing

[@samanthaevans5210]

Thank you. I am always told I have perfect hair. Yesterday I went to a new hair dresser and she practically begged to curl my hair. I felt so great and I went out and bought a new curling iron and not a cheep one. I was in tears while googling tips to curl hair because my looked horrible when I did it myself. I found your video. After doing it the way you showed, I felt as happy as I was yesterday. THANK YOU!!

Okay but for real this is actually SO helpful. I stopped curling my hair because I always hated how it turned out, so I'm definitely going to give this a try

[@haven2094]

Shaylee W. Broooo sameee

[@BlessedSouthernMama]

Meeeeeeee too! I feel like such a failure as a female because I can't friggin curl it for anything, but I can straighten it like a champ! 🤦‍♀️

[@danad435]

I wish they made the curling wands longer, my hair is almost butt lenght and gosh, how short those barrels are to me :D please do a video about why the hair is not holding the curl!

[@mechantechatonne]

This is an easy one for you. It's because your hair is so long. Imagine if you were to attach weights to your curls. That would pull them straight, right? Well hair that long is heavy, so basically that's what's happening.

[@danad435]

@@mechantechatonne Well I can understand that, but a couple years ago I had bob, and the hair would not hold a curl more than for a couple of hours as well as now, I guess that's just my hair :D

[@smarsh2307]

I want to share this video with some of my girlfriends who struggle with curling their hair! I have thin/fine hair and had the hardest time keeping curls in my hair up until probably 5 years ago. But I kept practicing and trying new things, and now they ask me for tips, so I tell them everyone's hair is so different and it took a lot of screw ups before I got the hang of it - KEEP PRACTICING.

[@ashley8304]

I just wanna say that I have been trying to teach myself how to curl my hair for like a year now. This is the one and only video that explained it and showed it so well that I was able to replicate it and I looks absolutely stunning. Thank you so much ☺️ I got a lot of compliments!

[@mrs.phoebeswift6595]

[@kate_louise6]

i’ve watched this video sixty seven times and still don’t know how to do it

[@ebonylorri]

You don't know how much this video was needed! I'm always frustrated that I can't curl my hair to look like or even similar to the salon lol Can't wait to try it again with this new hair knowledge

[@madyoro]

your hair looks so healthy and gorgeous

[@okaysynyster1372]

I bought my FIRST ever hair curler from amazon..With no knowledge of how to curl hair..After going through a loads and lots of research on youtube of how to curl the right way..I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL...You are the BEST..your techniques are amazing..Till now whatever i have watched on how to curl hair,No youtubers have explained it like the way you did..you are amazing ❤❤❤

[@DioneN]

Thank you for this! I’ve straightened my hair for years and am new to curling irons. I’ve watched this over and over and finally managed to give myself some loose waves that my hair stylist can do so easily with a flat iron. I will keep practicing!

[@pinupgirl9160]

The common mistake I see women do as well is clipping the curling iron on, DRAG IT TO THE ENDS (which straightens it) then curl from the ends, up. It will fail every time.

[@diana6echo]

yep, this is me, every time xD

[@theamethyst93]

Omg WAIT. I always do this cuz I thought I was smoothing out my hair frizzies before curling it!!! Omg has this been my problem all along?!?? 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@misssmisssymaria]

Jillian Phoenix If you’re straightening your hair before curling it, your curls are not going to hold.

[@ShellSmiley]

I’m 31 and never curled my own hair. I have always had super long hair as well, and would straighten it. I just chopped it a bit shorter than shoulder length, so doing anything to my hair is difficult as it’s so short. This video helped a lot. I messed up so many times but finally got the hand of it! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@samanthahapp7271]

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! I finally used a curling iron successfully after so many failed attempts. “Barrel to the back” is just the tip I needed. I could cry I’m so happy!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

[@rizilinachey2996]

I just have to say THANK YOU to you because I finally learned how to curl my hair nicely after this video lol. I’ve watched so many over the years but yours explained everything really well and I actually like how my curls turned out!

[@DMThisIsPam]

Thank you so much for this! I wish more hair videos were like this: straight to the point, tell me and show me what to do, and that's that. None of this "let me show five minutes of glamour shots with two seconds of explanation" bull.

[@paigelarson2363]

Okay I literally never comment on videos but I found yours last night and just tried out your technique it worked like magic. I never had my clip facing forward and would always get the bent shape in my hair and it wouldn’t hold or look good but making sure the clip is forward and the barrel is facing the wall made all the difference!!!

[@gmg906]

You are a blessing! I just got a new hot tools curling iron, and I’m trying to figure out how to use the clamp on it. Previously I use the NuMe octowand and I love it, but a wand and a curling iron produce different curls. Soo thank you so much!! 😭

[@nadiaf7344]

THANK YOU! Finally a video that told me exactly what I was doing wrong. 29 years old and have never been able to curl my hair. Just when I though I got the hang of it, I realized I was only able to properly curl the hair on the right side of my head but not the left- but it was because when I crossed over to the left side the barrel of the curling iron was not in the back! I finally learned my mistake and was able to curl my hair perfectly!

[@tattooadidas]

this video SAVED ME. all 18 years of my life i have never been able to curl my hair. i watched this video, and right after i was able to get my hair done for homecoming. thank YOU !!

[@jaytheartistry]

The most helpful video on KZbin. YOU DESERVE A PRIZE!! I could actually do my hair for the first time in my life apart from blowdrying and straightening with a flat iron😭😭😭

[@Mosaic_Crone]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for this tutorial. My husband has never gone to the salon with me on the days my cousin Scott curls it. Those curls last 2 days in humidity of our beach summers, 3 days in the winter months where living at the beach still effects a good curl. He could follow this tutorial after only watching your 1st curl. I have nerve damage that prevents me from holding my own arms up so this was not a life saver but girl you saved my sanity on the night of a Faerie Scary Masquerade Ball.

[@KaraLynnJack]

[@melissahernandez7294]

I decided to grow my hair out this year & I worked really hard to get it healthy & long. NOW that it’s at my desired length & I want to start using heating tools again I realized my straightener method wasn’t working as good as when I had short hair. I purchased a hot tools curler for the first time ever and man do I SUCK at it... this video was like a beginners manual & Addressed all my questions!💗🙌 also just saw it’s been out for 2 years now but it’s awesome that it showed up.

[@claredavies9655]

Omg this is a game changer. I was doing it wrong all the time by having the barrell at the front clamp at back and going the wrong way! I have just watched and tried a curl and it looks amaZing! Cant beleve i have done it wrong all this time!!!! Thank you!!

[@fred6059]

Brittney I finally have a full head of curls! I ditched the gel completely. I use deep conditioner daily because my hair is so thick. I use Aussie 'Sprunch' spray all over my hair after it's dry. I curl my hair on the iron like you explained. I now look like Shirley Temple! Thank you so much!

[@haven2094]

The problem I have when I curl my hair is that on my left side of my hair it’s like the prettiest curls but on the right side it’s not the same it makes a crease kinda curl where u see the crease pls help me I have to practice my curls for colorguard

[@amandaaguirre5680]

Idk if this makes sense but if your curling it and you twist it and your hair covers the clip it creases it or when you curl it twist the curling iron then clamp it on the hair

[@amandaaguirre5680]

At 5:44 if your curl it that way it creases

[@MicheleEngel]

I’ve used a curling iron on my hair (thin, fine) for years and have gotten adequate results-certainly better than NOT using a curling iron (😂). But watching you do this showed me that 1. My hairdresser does exactly the way you do it, and 2. I have been doing it wrong, starting at the BOTTOM of the strand and curling tightly upwards, then releasing the clamp and letting the strand fall. It’s not that it doesn’t work (the hair does get curled), but it doesn’t end up looking as great as doing it your (and my hairdresser’s) way. Thank you!❤

My one and only issue is that I have a fringe, which I find looks a little odd with a head full of curls. Would you suggest pinning up my bangs, or bringing them over to the side to create a side bang type of look and incorporating them into the curls?
