Easy Steps on How to Curl Poker Straight Hair
Wash your hair
Curling entails using heated styling products, which can damage your hair. The best way to go about it is to strengthen your hair using Dove Intense Repair Shampoo and pair it with Dove Intense Repair Conditioner. The special formula of this pairing is packed with Keratin-Actives that help repair signs of surface damage. These products also provide nourishment deep inside, leaving your hair stronger and resilient to further damage.
Spritz some spray
Spritz TRESemmé Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray all over your hair to protect it from heat damage. At the same time, this product also seals in the shine and reduces frizz thanks to its keratin ingredient.
Divide and clip
Then proceed to divide your hair into two horizontal sections and clip the upper part of your hair. This allows you to curl specific portions of your hair with care, and without having to deal with entangled hair.
Curl and roll
Start the curling process by taking a section of hair near your ear. Gently wrap this portion around the curling iron, roll your iron horizontally, and hold it for five seconds. After removing the iron, roll your curled hair back to form a round shape and use a clip to secure it to set the curls.
#HairHack: While keeping the curls clipped, we recommend using TONI&GUY Sea Salt Texturising Spray and spray it on the curls. Using this product helps the curls to come out looking more defined and makes it lasts longer as well.
Repeat until you finish
To complete the look, simply repeat the curling and clipping process on all sections of your hair. Use the sea salt spray all over and leave for a few minutes before removing all the clips and letting your hair down.
