What are the easiest hair curlers to use?
If you're a beginner when it comes to curling your hair, go for a hair curler that's streamlined and simple in its design and function. A traditional curling iron is straightforward to use, without any high-tech attachments that can cause a little confusion for a complete novice.
What should I put on my hair before curling it?
Always prime your hair with a dedicated hair primer before heat styling to avoid any damage. Bonus? Most hair primers also help to keep your hair looking sleek, smooth and frizz-free, and your style should also hold for longer.
