How do I get my hair to curl away from my face?

Mistake: Curling Your Hair in the Wrong Direction For a more natural look, you’ll want to curl your hair away from your face. This means winding the hair down and around the wand of the curling iron in a clockwise direction on the right side of your face and a counter-clockwise direction on the left side.

Do you curl your hair away or towards your face?

“You should curl away from the face towards the hairline, because curls toward the face end up covering it, creating a cave,” says Everson. “Curling away from the face enhances and opens the face.” By opening up your face, you’ll show off that confident attitude, rather than hiding behind a jumble of curls.

Curling in the wrong direction If you want a more natural, wavy look, curl away from the face rather than towards the face. If you want your curls to look glamorous and tight, curl every section in the same direction. If you want your curls to look more effortless, curl certain sections in different directions.

Should you Hairspray before curling?

“Prep your hair before you blow-dry with a heat protectant and a hold product, then spray it with hairspray before you start curling.” Not only will it keep your hair from frying, but it’ll help set the curl better.
