Quick hair tutorial🤍

You know, when I first started trying to recreate those gorgeous, bouncy outward curls I kept seeing everywhere, I struggled! My regular curling iron just wasn't cutting it, and my hair always ended up looking more frizzy than fabulous. That's when I discovered the magic of a good thermal brush. It’s truly been a game-changer for getting that salon-quality look right at home. For me, the key to beautiful curls with an outward flick, especially when aiming for that retro 80s vibe, is all in the technique. First things first, always start with dry, detangled hair. I swear by a good heat protectant spray – it’s non-negotiable if you want healthy, silky strands in the long run. Here’s my personal step-by-step for achieving those perfect outward curls: Prep Your Hair: After applying heat protectant, make sure your hair is completely dry. I usually let mine air dry about 80% and then finish with a blow dryer on a cool setting to minimize heat exposure. Sectioning is Key: This is where many go wrong! For even, beautiful curls, divide your hair into manageable sections. I usually start with the bottom layer, clipping the rest of my hair up. For thick hair, smaller sections work best. The Outward Roll: Take a section of hair, about 1-2 inches wide, and place the thermal brush underneath it, close to the roots. Now, here’s the trick for outward curls: you’re going to roll the brush outward and away from your face. Gently glide the brush down the hair shaft, rotating it as you go. The slower you move, the more defined the curl will be. Hold and Release: Once you reach the end of the section, hold the brush in place for a few seconds. This allows the heat to set the curl. Then, gently unroll the brush, letting the curl fall. Don't touch it too much immediately! Let it cool to lock in the shape. Repeat and Vary: Continue this process throughout your hair. For that classic 80s look, I like to create a mix of tighter and looser curls, especially around the crown for extra volume. Don't be afraid to experiment with the angle and direction slightly. Volumize: After all sections are curled, I often flip my head upside down and gently shake out the curls at the roots to add more volume. A spritz of light-hold hairspray helps keep everything in place without making it stiff. The beauty of the thermal brush is how it smooths the hair cuticle as it curls, leaving you with that incredibly silky finish. It’s so much easier to control than a traditional curling iron, and I find it gives a much softer, bouncier curl compared to flat irons or wands. If you're looking to master those striking outward curls and channel some awesome 80s vibes, give this method a try. You'll be amazed at the beautiful curls you can create!
