When it comes to the end of the year festive season, curls will always be a hot choice for elegant evening hairstyles. Curls are the perfect option, obviously, for those who are blessed with them naturally! But for ladies with wavy or straight hair, they can be achieved with only a few minutes of styling time and minimal products. Curls look great on every face shape as well, and suits all hair lengths. To find a new curly style to suit you this season, check out our tutorials below.
Short Hair
Andrea Bowen’s hair looks adorable in ringlets and a side-swept fringe. To get this hairstyle you will need: mousse, a hair dryer, hairspray and a half-inch barrel curling iron.
1. Apply mousse throughout the hair and blow-dry it sleek.
2. When drying the fringe section, use a round brush to style it to the side.
3. Tie or clip the top two thirds of your hair up to keep it out of the way.
4. Use the curling iron to add ringlets to small sections of your hair. Start at the front and work your way around the head until the entire bottom third has been curled. Use hairspray to set the curls.
5. Repeat step four, one section at a time, with both the middle and top sections.
6. After your hair has been curled, give it a final shot of hairspray and you are ready to party!
