Curls drop out!

[BringBiscuits]

Trying to curl my hair with straighteners. Hairdresser gave me a few hints and tips and it doesn’t look as good as when she dies it but not bad. And then the curls just drop out! I’ve barely left the house and they’re gone. What am I doing wrong?

I find mine last longer on day old hair... freshly washed they just drop.

Redtartanshoes thanks. Will try again on day 2

I use hair mousse too

Definitely try it on hair the day after or even second day after it's been washed. Hairspray?

Hair is dry not wet when curled. Have put in mousse before drying but maybe should do it after drying but before curling? Haven’t used hairspray, but good call.

My hairdresser uses hairspray and a texturising spray.

I curl my hair with GHDs daily and they would fall out within an hour or so if I didn't use hairspray. I use this green Silvrikin one and it's great. Brushes out easily but great hold

trumpisaflump but lasts with it? Will give it a go

My hair is wavy, frizzy and thick and doesn't hold any curls.

I have tried a number of products

Lee Stafford Lived in Spray, & leave the curls in until cool before brushing through.

Have you ever tried making pin curls instead?

Make the curls on moussed hair with your fingers and pin them flat to your head with a kirbie (Bobby pin) overnight.

When you wake up they have been in that shape for eight hours or whatever and they stay curled longer when I unpin them and run my fingers through gently and hairspray them for the day. Within an inch of their life.

I have very thick hair which doesn't hold a curl

I use a S@#t tonne of hairspray. If I'm lucky - it may last half the day.
I've used all sorts of hairsprays from expensive to cheap
Elnett is the only one that holds my curls for more than an hour or two

Also try sock bun method. Works a treat

Curl it tight so it looks like ridiculous Victorian cork screw curls, spray it with hair spray, then brush out!

The only way I can get curls to stay in my hair is with a either a wet set with setting lotion, or using heated curlers and setting spray.

So tried again today and lasted a bit longer as hair isn’t freshly washed. Didn’t have hairspray but put mousse on.
