3 mistakes your making when curling your hair 1- choosing the wrong curling iron size. Rule of thumb (this is not bible but it’s good to keep in mind): really short hair: flat iron, shoulder length hair: flat iron and 1” past shoulders: 1.25”-1.5” 2- curling the wrong direction. Always curl front pieces back and if you need, you can curl in the same direction. The curls usually last longer 3- taking too much hair in your sections. If you’re wanting consistent curls, take the same amount of hair
