DRY SHAMPOO. My hair is sooo resistant to curls. Like I'll pin it up, use lots of spray, mousse, try it on dirty hair, everything, and it'll fall flat so quickly...like literally 10 mins and it was straight. As soon as I tried using dry shampoo instead of hairspray (and still pinned it, used the right heat setting, etc.), it was a GAME CHANGER. Like, curls lasted all day, and I still had softer waves/loose curls for day 2. I seriously douse my hair in it and then hairspray at the end, but if nothing works for you, I can't recommend it enough!

[@zepallica123]

THank you! I'll try it!!

[@cariwhite3254]

Do you spray it all over your hair like hairspray? Which dry shampoo do you like?

[@uberkatja]

@@cariwhite3254 I use batiste and it works great. When I say all over, I mean all over! Just like hairspray. Since I have long hair and end up using a lot the cheaper price point is good for me haha Hope it works for you!

Thank you, Kaley! That video was super educational and I believe it will help me upgrade my curling game! And the color pallette in was joy to my eyes. I love playing with hot tools and I am always investigating new ways to make curls last while feeling silky and looking shiny and you mentioned some hacks I didn't know, so I'll test them. So excited!

[@LostwithLaura]

Love these videos where you give tips, tricks, and thing to trouble shoot when learning a new skill. The tips are always so helpful and even though you mention them in other videos it's nice to have one video to go to when i'm about to curl my hair or whatever skill in trying to learn. I'd love to see a video on different products (mousse, gel, balms, etc.) and what they are generally used for because I had no clue that mousse could help with curling hair.

[@SharieFernandez]

[@JennLamb]

I have hair that typically does hold a curl pretty well, but I have noticed that if my hair has a lot of product buildup they’ll fall quickly. Usually that’s my indicator that it’s time to do a clarifying wash. Love this video by the way. I learned how to curl my hair from one of your OG (green backdrop) videos and it’s helped so much.

[@epf1250]

This video deserves so much more exposure!!!

[@susielandis1599]

My hair is super long and I don't use heat a lot so my hair hair has a really hard time curling but I tried just not using shampoo before I curled it and it lasted a full week and maybe could've lasted longer. I've gone through this whole thing of trying to keep curls and it wasn't working and I finally had a break through and I would just like to encourage those who are still trying to figure it out, don't give up!

[@Charlotte-iu2yg]

Loved the video, very helpful! Can you give some tips on how to 'restore/repair' coloured hair?

[@chlobo123]

I haven’t coloured my hair all that much. I think I’ve done it three times in my life. I would say that my hair is almost completely back to my natural colour. My hair never held curl ever until I started watching your videos and learning new methods and tips. Love your videos! ❤️

Hey Kaylee, I've watched you since your first videos and damn you never disappoint. My hair curls and stays because of all your tips previously but I never pin my curls up because I'm like meh. Thanks for doing that experiment I'm like oh...kaylee was right about pinning them up for more definition haha

[@beesandyarn]

Ahhh, my saviour! I’m definitely going to be using some of these tips when I curl my hair later today 💕 Ps. I got back from the US a few days ago, and while I was there I got the SGX mousse and the Kristen Ess leave in conditioner...ummmm...life has been changed forever 😆🤩🤪😘

[@moo2981]

Could you please do a video on how to keep your hair straight overnight/for many days?? I would love that!!

[@naslundr7]

Hi Kayley! “Long time listener, first time caller” here, haha. (For real, I discovered you in 2011 when I did my own hair for my best friend’s wedding! Your tips and tutorials have been changing my life since then!) I have long, coarse, naturally curly hair and I heat style it about half the time. My favorite style is using my wand to get curls similar to what you’re rocking in this video. Curls hold well for me because of my coarse texture, BUT I find that by day 2-3 my hair is very FLUFFY. Any products I could apply to keep the definition/lose the fluff without weighing the curls down? Thank you for everything you do and share with us!! 💜💜

[@lifelovejourney]

Love Dove dry shampoo! And I’ve tried them all!

[@singularity___]

Iron size is a great tip. My hair is down to my butt and the only way I can get a beachy curl/ wave is a 1 inch iron. It was a game changer. My 1.5 inch iron creates curls that drop after thirty minutes

[@waynasattar2991]

I love how you do hairstyles sis!! Could you plewse do some hairstyles from Riegn (from the CW)??

[@mikaelasundt3117]

This was great!

[@jordanlexa3658]

Bride with virgin hair with a bridesmaid with course straight virgin (Asian) hair here. Thank you!

[@saraha5522]

Long coarse straight virgin hair is the hardest hair to curl I think, because being coarse it just refuses to change its shape. I think fine hair must be much easier to curl because it's so much more malleable. And being long and coarse it's sooo heavy which weighs it down and pulls out the curls. That's why I got a perm, been perming it every year for 17 years now.

[@emilijamarjanovic5497]

Great video! I have fine, never dyed and naturally very straight hair. I've struggled for a long time with curling it. I practise almost every tip that you've mentioned and it works. I just wanna to recommend a product that has helped me and it's from drugstore : Nivea Care & Hold line - the hairspray and especially the mousse.

[@N_toft]

YES i couldnt hold a curl for years bc my hair was way too healthy. Damaging my hair was really the answer to my prayers and i’m so annoyed no one told me sooner!

Thank you!!

[@EvaCaseyeec]

Great video, thank you!! Could you talk about how to keep your hairstyle overnight? Maybe you have before and I'm just completely missing the video..my hair is super fine and semi-wavy, but if I sleep on it it's DONE and I can't do anything but messy bun on day 2.

[@brookefisher6706]

Great video!!! will you please do a braid video and a scrunchy video

[@oooh19]

thanks! curls are so pretty and glam. my hair is straight but some ppl envy it; nothing like a nice girly curl! my hair is hard to curl. I often wear buns or braids so it gets a bit wavy then

[@marieh442]

Thaaaaank you so much!!!

[@ShannaCarlson525]

Try the Living Proof mousse. I'm a big fan and it's my go-to when I use mousse. Not exactly drug store priced, but really good regardless. I actually cut off about 6 inches of hair earlier this week so my curls will hold better. I'm still at bra length hair, but it was almost at the point of being able to get tucked into my belt lol. Amazing video as always! So helpful. I'm about to go pick up a thickening cream right now kthx lol

[@indydouma1385]

Okayyyy, so this explains why my hair actually wants to curl after I bleached it blonde. It makes sense now

[@lydia2408]

Can you please do a video with heatless curls or overnight curls? Don’t know if you have done it but can you then do an updated version??

[@amandab6034]

Can you PLEASE review the tyme iron????? Looks like magic but pretty sure Normal humans won’t get the results seen in the ad. Your review it’s the only one I’d trust. You’ve always been spot on for me. No bs, a real effort to make a product Ike it should and truth if it’s flawed. Pretty please?

[@andreadabovich5808]

Big fan of your channel! I have pretty fine but quite curly hair naturally, any recommendations as to how to get a smooth curled look without having to completely straighten ahead of time?

[@crownjules]

I like to add in my leave in conditioner when my hair is sopping wet, then use a curl or wave cream when my hair is about half to 3/4's air dried (I like Devacurl Wave Maker). Then I leave in two pigtail braids over night to dry fully. Rough dry if still damp in the morning, then use curling iron. Hope that makes sense! Although in this 100 degree full on humidity heat wave, I just let my curls do what they want. They have a mind of their own and there's no convincing them to do anything but what they want to do.

[@yvetteou703]

THANK YOU SO MUCH KAYLEY!!! I'm gonna try some of these tips the next time i curl my hair! Also, i was just wondering if it's normal for your hair to smell a bit burnt/smoky after you curl it??

[@im_mac_ulate935]

I have thin hair and I have found what has been a game changer for me is that after I wash my hair with warm water, I do a cold rise after that. It give my hair more volume as I blow dry it and my curls stay much much longer too! Additionally, I use a 1” iron and clip the sections after I curl until they are cooled in order to hold their shape.

[@mlee1285]

A tip I've discovered from years of experience trying to curl my straight, fine, healthy hair is that it will only hold curl if I curl it a certain way. Curling iron, flat iron, or flat wand curls fall out so quickly on me even with good product...but if I hold the hair and wrap around the wand, the hair twists as you wrap and the twist actually helps the curl to hold. 😉 So I guess the moral of the story is this: if your curls aren't working with one curling method, try another one!

[@clairecgdashl2365]

My hair is so thin the time it takes to curl a strand the other ones r back to straight Thx so much these tips change my life

[@Kubulek17]

I learnt this tip from Chris Appleton when he did JLOs super bowl hair. Curl the hair with a smaller iron to hold the curve and then go over with a larger iron to hold the shape

[@slidewithme]

I have super fine, very long, super healthy hair and two drug store products I love are both Garnier: The Root Amp mousse, and the Style Mega Full Thickening Lotion (it's like a less intense gel). I use both together (mousse on the roots, lotion on the length) and the difference it makes is like night and day, AND my hair gets greasy a lot slower. Typically I can't go without at least dry shampoo the day after I wash my hair, but if I use both of those after a shower, I can go the next day with just a brushing in the morning and it's still fine. They don't feel overly sticky or goopy after they dry, and don't brush out. Both are less than $5 on Amazon!

[@thebusydragonfish9725]

Have you noticed that the type of material the iron is made of makes much of a difference? Like ceramic versus titanium?
