Hey!! how are you all?? I wanted to know if when curling the hair, it should be dry or really wet,cause I have a habit of washing my hair before curling it. I am always in a hurry when going out cause I have to curl the hair of my little sister first then I am in such a hurry that when I curl my hair it doesn't curl. what do you advice me to do?? I also have very very thin hair so it makes it more diffcult. thanks for answering.

You should never curl or straighten hair with heat while it's wet! It burns the hair. My best advice is let it air dry as much as possible, use a heat protectant for your hair and then curl it. If not use the heat protectant and blow dry it first. I have very thin hair too.

I agree I've spent 2 years repairing mine from heat damage, never again! However if you must use heat, wash you hair the night before so by morning it should style better. Or you could try using Velcro curlers so you can have the curls without the heat. Or you could teach your sister how to do her own hair so you have time for your own hair :)

So then I should take a bath then do my sister's hair then cover my head with a plastic then bath again?? so in meantime it will dry??

Depends it if your using heat then no! I have naturally curly but the no shampoo method works for me and makes my curls more defined I then just scrunch my hair after towel drying and that's that, but I am really natural with my hair now. Have you tried braiding or plaiting your hair whilst damp at night

Then take it out in the morning and you will have soft beach hair. There's so many tutorials abouts how to get girls naturally. If you have really long hair you can wrap in it a bun on top of your head

Don't not curl hair with iron if wet! If you want to curl your hair in the morning just wash it at night n let it dry over night. Then curl in the morning! Use heat protectant on your hair always if you use heat. N put a small amount of oil in your hair if you don't want it to look too dry.

Now if your doing natural curls with no heat then the above does not apply. To get natural curls it's best when your hair is wet. What products are you using to achieve your curls?

Your hair must be DRY to use an iron of any type on it.

Never curl wet or damp hair, you can damage your hair and the curling iron. What I do is I use a pro naturals argan oil heat protector serum on damp hair and let it air dry, then I curl normally.
