Hair Tutorial Video : Perfect Curls


curling hair - curling iron

I shot this little hair video on Christmas Eve as I was getting ready to go out. Needless to say, I was in a bit of a rush NOTE TO SELF: don’t do a hair video before you have to go somewhere. Come on Maegan, use your head! – – but it seems so logical, killing two birds and all …though I do relax a bit half-way through . . . and then my camera died.

I do style my hair like this often and get lots of questions about it so I thought why not just give you a little demo of how I do it. It’s not rocket science, obviously, but it’s different from my Perfect Wave video and takes a bit longer …sometimes I mix the two techniques in one look… and mess it up a bit with my hands when I’m finished.

Also note: I was unaware the camera was decapitating me until I watched the playback. Awesome. Total pro over here 😉 But you get the idea.

This is the curling iron I use for these particular curls …also note that my hair was just air dried and free of products prior to curling. I get the best curls after a blow dry …but honestly hate to use 2 heat styling tools at once, unless it’s ya know, my wedding, or the Oscars, a worthy event. 😉
