Do curling wands work on fine hair?
In general, the larger the barrel means the looser the curl or wave will be, but there’s also the option of a tapered wand which is more ideal for creating long-lasting styles for those with finer hair. Since fine hair tends to be on the shorter side, you’ll want to stick with an iron no larger than a 1.5-inch barrel.
Should I put oil on my hair before curling?
Even if you’re working with dry hair, you should always protect your strands from the heat of your styling tools. Prepping your hair for curling or straightening with a hair oil or elixir will prevent damage and make styling even easier.
How do you add texture to fine hair?
Short or mid-length cuts offset fine hair, since they add bounce and don’t drag the hair downwards. Chic pixie cuts, bobs or on-trend lobs (long bobs) are ideal for making fine hair appear fuller; apply a volumizing spray to lift the roots when styling, or keep things matte and messy with pomade or texturizing mist.
