How to get my short hair to hold curls well...?

My hair is just below my shoulders, and I have short side bangs. I normally flat-iron it, or just wear it pinned to the side with a cute clip or whatever. But whenever I curl my hair, it only holds for like twenty minutes, and is gone before I'm going to whatever place I'm going to, which sucks.

So the question is: how do I get my short hair to hold the curls well, and make them last for at least a few hours? I

I normally just use a curling iron, and a light spray of Dove hairspray or something, but I'm open to options(: Are there any special products I need? Nothing out rageously expensive, pleaseee.

Thank you!How to get my short hair to hold curls well...?
My hair is fine and straight - it's very hard to get it to hold curls, especially in the windy climate here. Although I have long hair, this is the only thing that works for me:

- Hot rollers are a must. Definitely one of the best $20 purchases I've ever made!

- I apply strong hold mousse to wet/damp hair, although with some ';root boosting'; spray (not a must for you probably, unless you have fine hair, then I'd recommend it).

-Then I blow dry...

-Then I set my hair with the rollers and leave them in for at least 20 minutes, more is better.

-Remove rollers and finger-comb a little.

-Set with aerosol hair spray. My fav is Big Sexy Hair ';Spray and Play Harder'; but that's again because I'm looking for volume too.



This usually holds all day or night. It also works well on unwashed hair, like if you washed it the day before - then I still add a little mousse and always plenty hair spray.



I hope that helps! It's fun to try something different with your hair.How to get my short hair to hold curls well...?
well if you have a flat iron i would think you would have a blow dryer so you should blow dry your curls so then it will stay and ya. so i think that will help and maybe use a stronger hair spray
use a curl enhancing shampoo and a curl enhancing gel. scrunch it and let it dry.....then, use a non-stiff hairspray lightly and then, KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF and OUT OF IT!!!!! don't mess with it after it's 'done'....

I had curly hair before but i CUT MY HAIR TO A BOB NOW I FLAT IRONED A LOt how can i get my curls back?

Okay don't worry!

My Cousin has had the same problem.

Well check yourself into the shop because you have damaged hair :[

Your hair has been attempting to grow back to normal

getting those waves through to start but as you said you straighten your hair a lot. Almost 82% of girls who straighten their hair damage it by doing it over and over again with no rest. So if I were you I'd settle a appointment and pack up that hair straightener if you wish to have your hair back. My Cousin followed those orders and has thankfully gotten her full hair back and now her routine is Scrunch her hair, ponytail, and straighten different each day. See as she changed her schedule but was still able to do her hair!I had curly hair before but i CUT MY HAIR TO A BOB NOW I FLAT IRONED A LOt how can i get my curls back?
Hi i have long hair and what I would recommend is that you get your ends trimmed really nicely and STOP flat ironing your hair so much because, that is what makes it brittle and also makes it break off. Go to a professional hair stylist that you know and let them trim it up nicely and let it grow out, so that you can get your hair back to normal. I also recommend that during this time you get your hair washed and afterward get it deep conditioned a couple of times to get your hair back enriched.
well it should just go back natural when you wash it unless you damaged it, if you damaged it dont flat iron it again and maybe go to the hair dresser i dont know if they can do anything but maybe they can.
Sounds damaged. Just stop doing so much to it, and is should grow in healthy. You have to wait for the damage to grow out.

HOW DO i GET SPIRAL CURLS IN MY HAIR?

i REALLY WANT TO DO SOMETHNIG WITH MY HAIR BECAUSE I ALWAYS FLAT IRON IT AND WEAR IT SRAIGHT. I KNOW THIS IS PROBABLY A STUPID QUESTION, BUT HOW DO I CURL MY HAIR TO MAKE SPIRAL CURLS?HOW DO i GET SPIRAL CURLS IN MY HAIR?
if you dont want to damage your hair by using a curling iron to get spiral curls i suggest sleeping with them in rollers. make sure you get long stick like rollers that you can wind your hair around to give it the spiral curl effect when you take them out in the morning. hope this helps :)

How do I look with curled hair?

So I curled my hair for like the first time EVER.



Yes, I know, that's strange, but I absolutely do not know how to use a curling iron, so I just used my straightner to curl it.



Anywho, curly hair makes my head feel a lot lighter and my hair less heavy and I would like to wear it out, but I'm not sure what people will say, especially since I barely know how to curl it.



So since this is the first time seeing me for you, tell me what your first impression is about the hair. Thank you!



P.s. Is the hair too flat on top and making the rest of the curly hair look weird?



Curly hair w/ hat:

How to get loose solf curls ?

I have hair like Felicity (the girl in the show), so in order to fit in a room with my big head of hair I use a flat iron %26amp; this gives me straight sleek hair I can manage and happy with. However, every now %26amp; then I wanna try and change things up a bit - have loose soft curls. This NEVER happens. I tried hot rollers after I straight my hair; it looks like a million bucks for 10 mins then straight again (yes I added some hairspray). I tried the curling iron same thing. I can only try curling my hair after I straight it, otherwise I can't even get my hands through it to try anything - curling iron or hot rollers. So how do I go from forest curls to straight beautiful hair to sexy soft curls???How to get loose solf curls ?
Your flat-iron will make prettier curls than a curling iron or rollers. It's tricky at first, but here's how to do it:

-First, you need a one-inch flat-iron (a big one will not work)

-Clamp the iron at your scalp

-Turn it one-half to one-full turn away from your scalp

-Run it through at an angle rather than straight through (like you're curling a ribbon with scissors)

-DO NOT CURL FROM THE ENDS UP--this will over-heat your ends and not heat the rest of your hair.How to get loose solf curls ?
i do not mean to be rude but why do women that have curly hair want it straight and women with straight hair want it curly , i am lucky that i am single becuase i think women are the hardest thing in the world to please , but the world would be a horible place with out them , i for one would miss them

What can I do with my hair that is very easy?

I have a flat iron, a bunch of ponytails, a couple headbands, curlers, and a curling iron(that i don't really know how to use). My hair is shoulder-kissing length. aahhWhat can I do with my hair that is very easy?
do a poof at the front of your head and then pull it into a ponytail! (if you dont know what im talking about email me)What can I do with my hair that is very easy?
I just cut my hair short and I was having the same problem, I didn't know what to do. You can try this and its very simple. BLOWDRY it. When I shower and let my hair dry, it's frissy and gets very wavy and all over the place, I definitely didn't want that. Now, when I am out of the shower, I blowdry it, and it looks very cute! try it and let me know what you think!
Well flat iron it the you should pull back a little bit of the hair that goes in front of you're face and pin it back
Try two french braids ..its cute but still 'formal' enough for orchestra.
do like a half pony that works best

HELP ME WITH MY POOFY HAIR!!! (pics of it included)?

my hair is kinda like biracial hair(im ethiopian). theres no way to describe it really its not kinky or curly. its sorta straight because ive been straigtening my hair with a flat iron like every week.



http://tinypic.com/r/263acm9/6



i have school tommrow and i bought that mousse in the pic, herbal essence curl scrunching gel, and lustrasilk curl activator. I really want to get my poofy hair curly can anyone tell me how??



i used the curl activator yesterday and all it did was curl my hair a little here and there but it was still too poofy. thats what all mousses tend to do on my hair, it makes it sora wavy but it will still be puffy. I have A LOT of hair so i dont know what to do....



(ive tried straw curls and they kinda work but they take forever to do! i need something easier and faster, are you supposed to use something after using a curl activator, or should I try braiding my hair after putting mousse in it to make it curlier?)



im aiming for curl hair like this http://images47.fotki.com/v1474/photos/6鈥?/a>

..but really any type of curl will doHELP ME WITH MY POOFY HAIR!!! (pics of it included)?
Ok, so I have the exact same problem. I totally know where you are coming from.



First of all, cool it with the heat treatments. These cause damage that will only make matters worse.

After years of straightening my hair frequently I have breakage, which causes frizz and makes it hard to style. It also causes your hair to be even frizzier. There are better ways to have nice hair then to damage it.



Now first I must ask, do you brush your hair before school?

This is a big no no.

For our hair type this causes poofiness.



Curly hair should almost never be brushed when it's dry. Here's what you do:

Wash your hair every 2 or 3 days This sounds gross but actually it is great for your hair.

When in the shower, shampoo your hair a usual. Then add nice conditioner. Brush from root to tip.



When out of the shower add Organtix coconut oil serum. This is natural, smells great, repairs your hair, and does not test on animals.



Now add a mixture of Tressame gel and curl cream. Brush through.



Now Here are some heat free curling methods:

(please best answer)HELP ME WITH MY POOFY HAIR!!! (pics of it included)?
you probably have to get it thinned and then straightened.
you should ask your hair stylist. he/she would know
Yours will probably go easily into ringlets (like Shirley Temple). Just shape the locks with your fingers. My mum used to do this to my sister and she had hair similar to yours.
leave just a little conditioner in it when you rinse it in small sections use sum frizz serum then gel but make sure you get it from roots to ends because most of the poof comes from underneath then dont touch it it gets big when you mess with it if you touch it gets bigger
if your looking for a cute hairstyle to try out without heat try these:

OK, since you are going back to school tomorrow I guess you are looking for a solution that doesn't involve going out and buying heaps of products?

So, I have a similar hair type to you,

what i do to get rid of poofiness is:-

Wash your hair in the shower.(if you have shampooed your hair within the last 48hrs just wash your hair with conditioner only, and no shampoo).

Roughly towel dry your hair, but do not brush it!!!!

When you get out put the following into a spay bottle and spray a fair amount into your hair:-

Your regular conditioner, about 4-6 tablespoons.

Any kind of hairspray, 3-5 second spray.

Water, 500mL.



After this, smooth it into your hair with a wide toothed comb, or your fingers. Do Not Brush!!!

Leave to air dry.



Hope this helps. :-)
