How To Use Curling Tongs

Beauty : Haircare

Before you use your curling tongs, you need to ensure that you hair is clean and dry first for best effects. Don't do on greasy or dirty hair!

You then need to get the tongs ready as per the instructions - to get them nice and warm. Remember to do so safely!

Then once it is ready apply some serum to small groups of hair one after the other - this serum is a heat protection serum to stop the hair getting frazzled from the very hot tongs.

Then place this segment of hair into the tongs and pull down to the end of the hair, reasonably slowly (don't just drag it down), then when you reach the bottom roll them back up to the top of the strand.

Once you have the hair rolled around the tongs at the top, hold them there for between five to ten seconds. Then let go and repeat until you get all the curls you want.

Of course this can take a really long time to do across your whole head so be sure to set aside an hour or so in which to do this.

Finally be sure not to burn yourself as the tongs are really hot, so when doing the curling action take the tongs up high but not right to the base of the root where it might touch the scalp and burn you in the process!
