How To Make Curls Last - Kayley Melissa

[@suzanananushi1954]

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED MY CURLS LAST FOR LEGIT MAX AN HOUR THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@hannahobrien08]

same hahah

[@zoeallen4129]

I naturally have very straight hair and since you mentioned using mousse a few videos back it has honestly been such a game changer, my hair can now hold curls/waves for up to 4 days! 🙌 Thank you Kayley 😘

[@tatjanabacovsky4810]

zoe allen Same! I only used mousse and pomade on my curls for my sister’s graduation, and still had nice waves days later!

[@christa6298]

Which mousse did you end up using?? I’m SO gonna try this trick

[@zoeallen4129]

@@christa6298 I used the Loreal techni art mousse, which has been sat in my drawer for years but I never used it much until now and it's really good :)

[@susyavila2440]

zoe allen you use it before or after you do the curls? 😁

[@zoeallen4129]

[@uberkatja]

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!

[@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!

[@TalkTheBoatWithAishaHoque]

YES!! My curls never last unless I use a bunch of hair spray. Then its just a crunchy blob!!

[@amandalheureux3443]

You look super gorgeous in this rosey pink color!!!!

[@TheGreatHusingi]

Can 100% vouch for the smaller curling iron. I had a 1" barrel for years and my hair NEVER held the curl. I switched to a 1"-3/4" taper barrel and now my curls last for days!

[@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.

[@gwendolynbois5555]

Just got out of the shower ready to prep my hair for curling it later and saw this video! I’m going to an outdoor wedding and it’s 95 degrees in Massachusetts right now so this video is exactly what I needed today!

[@kassandradupont1500]

Whole queen and a half!!! Thank you, I’m terrified to use heat on my hair, and it never really stays in. Love you so much!!!

[@silver1000]

I have virgin, Asian, long, hard-to-curl hair. I can attest to ALL of these tips.

Could you please do a video on how to style your hair if you have wavy to curly hair.

[@crownjules]

I like waterlily716's channel.

[@ccap3211]

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

[@DominykeL-s1m]

ceramic works so well for me and trust me i’ve tried everything! but the best curling wand/iron ever is the dry bar wrap party

[@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

[@tydy911]

will you do a video on hair loss, hair thinning, and awkward regrowth?

[@ChampiChar_23]

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

[@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.

[@Juniper_Moana]

Thanks for this! I have very long, very coarse Virgin hair that refuses to hold a curl even if I wet set. What I didn't understand was how to use mousse with heat tools? Did you mean apply mousse to wet hair, let it dry, and then use an iron?

[@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.

[@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.

[@brittanyparmer46]

I love your videos! You always explain things so well that help me out soooooo much.

[@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?

[@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! ❤️

[@jesspressterp]

What product worked the best?

[@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!

[@RachelThomas-sx3qk]

Kayley, you’re videos are so goo!!!! Could you do a video on how to prep your hair for formal hairstyles?

[@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!

[@antiviral13]

Is it also a good idea to have sort of “dirty” hair? Dry shampoo or some texture spray before curling? I have thick hair that’s healthy but has been colored for almost 20 years. I find some dirtying the hair helps me

[@briannajones8613]

antiviral13 dirty hair will hold styles better due to the fact that some grit and texture has built up a little bit, squeaky clean hair is more silky and soft and smooth so it’ll fall faster! so having some dry shampoo in there and some product from a few days ago will be beneficial for when you curl your hair :)) in the salon we always tell our brides and grads to not wash their hair 3 days before the big day so we can get maximum hold

[@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??

[@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.

[@sophiefaulkner3466]

Rewatching these videos again for the millionth time. ❤

[@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.

[@lifelovejourney]

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

[@indydouma1385]

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

[@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

[@epf1250]

This video deserves so much more exposure!!!

[@rashell6673]

Thank you so much for this video! Long, virgin, dine hair here! I’ll work on trying to remember to use the mouse I bought and use those clips to keep the curl lasting a little longer. ❤️

How it goes?

[@Nahneen]

SUPER helpful, this video. Thanku sooo much. Im going to try these STAT 🤓

[@foreverachild9520]

Ahhh thank you I've needed this video for the longest time

[@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!

[@violeticious9197]

[@NycLavoisier]

my hair is backwards, when i let my hair dry in its natural wave pattern the back of my hair waves beautifully and the sides are more less uniform and more straggly. but when i blow dry and curl my hair, the sides curl beautifully and the back falls flat so fast. My own stylist was perplexed by that.

[@cam1152]

Maybe just blow dry the sides and let the back air dry, then touch up whatever you need to. 🤷‍♀️ hope you find something that works!! ;)

[@joactive]

I know this was last year, but I could REALLY use some drugstore product recommendations! I am so overwhelmed by the hair aisle at target. I have been victimized by bad products too many times lol

[@anna-maymoon1001]

As someone with super long thick virgin hair, I've found that heated rollers are amazing, I think babylis make a set? The thing that works best for me is taking small ish chunks of hair and wrapping them around the hot curler and leaving it for at least 2 hours (my hair takes a good half hour to cool down, and the rollers also take a half hour). Hair spray the crap out of your 1950s housewife do (it won't set on fire) and leave it for 2 hours at least. Take it out 10 mins before you need to go, run your fingers through it, maybe pin a few bits, hair spray again, then off you pop. Tips: - the longer you leave it, the more curled it will be - don't forget about them if you're going to the shops (unless you don't care about stares) - no vacuuming, toilet scrubbing and bake with caution - the roller must be hot when you put it in - practise before you do it for a night out, your head is smaller than you think it is, and how you part your hair makes a difference for roller placement

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!! 💜💜

[@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

i have pin straight fine virgin mid back length hair and i stopped using conditioner at every single wash, still couldn't hold a curl to save its life (like i did a wet set with 3/4" wide flexirods and it fell within a few hours), but it's the best decision i've made with my hair recently

[@saraha5522]

Maybe you could try refreshing them like using lots and lots of water and getting it really wet every day from the day after you shower. I actually run my hair underneath the water every day to refresh the curls. I also add some styling product every day. But I don't wash it every day, as in with shampoo.
