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. 😉
* Photos from this post using the same technique, though my hair is a bit shorter.

Great video. You are so lucky your hair holds a curl. I do this and my curls just fall right out, or I have to hold the curling iron on each piece for 10 minutes. Too time consuming in morning when I’m getting ready for work.
You are soooo pretty!

Holy Crap! Um…can I just tell you how opportunistic it is that I found your blog when I did? My hair is getting SO long that my normal way of curling isn’t cutting it and it gets weighed down by the shear volume of hair and the curls droop to the end. AH…lifesaver! Gracias!

You have some seriously gorgeous hair Maegan! I should try this method, I’m pretty lazy when it comes to styling my hair, but perhaps I will just for fun.
