Celebrity beauty hacks for perfect curls
Have you ever been jealous watching celebrity hairstylists work their magic to create perfect curls for the stars? From luxurious spirals to tight tresses, having a head full of perfect curls seems like an unachievable feat for the average person. However, with the right tips, tricks and products it is possible to get that celebrity look without a professional hairdresser on hand.
The following tips and tricks can help you to achieve a head full of healthy, shiny and bouncy curls in no time.
Choose the Right Curling Tool
When it comes to achieving perfect curls, it all starts with the right tool. Curling irons, wands and rollers are all great choices. Choose a curling tool with adjustable temperature settings to help you to find the right heat level for your hair type. Curling products with tourmaline or ceramic technology offer heat distribution more evenly than other curling products. This helps to reduce heat damage and promotes more defined curls.

Create a Curling Cocktail
Combine the right products to achieve those perfect curls. Start with a styling lotion with a light hold to help spread out the product and protect the hair from heat damage. Then follow with a thermal protectant product and a curl enhancing mousse. Make sure that you avoid using heavy oils and products like hairspray as these can weigh down and de-activate the curls.

Brush Before and After Curling
Using a brush before curling is essential for getting those perfect curls. Start with a wide tooth comb to evenly distribute product throughout the hair. Then use a boar bristle brush to comb through each section to ensure that the hair is smooth and tangle free before curling. Once you’re done curling, brush through the curls once more to break up the curl and create a more natural, effortless wave.

Master the Winding Technique
The way that you wrap your hair around the curling tool is essential for keeping the finished look in place. Holding the curling tool at a 45-degree angle with the clamp up is the best way to start. Then wind the sections of hair away from the face, towards the back of the head. For those tight spirals, hold each section for a few seconds before releasing. For more beachy waves, lightly wind the hair around the barrel and let it slip off.

Use the Right Finishing Products
The finishing products are just as important as the styling products for getting those perfect curls. Use light-hold hairspray to seal in the curls and keep them from going limp. Adding a drop of shine serum or serum spray can really make the curls pop. As a final touch, lightly mist a curl refresher spray throughout the hair to reactivate the curls and make them look fresh as if they have just been done.
These useful tips and tricks can help anyone get those gorgeous celebrity curls without the aid of a hairstylist. With the right curling tools, products, and technique, the perfect bouncy curls will be yours in no time.
