I have very long, straight, fine hair. I definitely had a difficult time getting the airwrap to work for me at first. If you’re feeling the same way, here’s what worked for me!
- Get the 0.8” barrel! This has made a huge difference for me. The 1.2” barrel left me with very loose waves/body after it relaxes. Basically there would just be some curl at the ends. It looked pretty, but it wasn’t what I was going for. I get much tighter, longer lasting curls with the 0.8”.
- To avoid weighing down my hair etc. I only prepped my hair with 2 products. I used a It’s a 10 Miracle Leave-in Lite as a heat protectant/leave-in moisturizer in the ends. Then I used a Tresemme Extra Hold Volumizing Mousse all over my hair.
- I use the smoothing dryer to rough dry my roots. Then I used the soft smoothing brush to dry my mid-shafts and ends so they’re not soaking wet. The hair should still be damp.
- I prefer to curl my hair using the Mermaid Waves technique. I divide my hair into 4 sections (top/bottom and left/right). I use high heat, high air flow and hold each curl for 10 seconds, then cool for 10 seconds. Instead of letting the curl drop, I catch it and hold it in my hand a few seconds longer before letting it drop. After finishes a section, I spray it with a medium hold brushable hair spray (bumble and bumble spray de mode). Then move onto the next section. Once done, I don’t touch the curls for 10-15 minutes then I brush them out and they’re good to go! The photos I attached are my finished results
