Easy Curls: ThursDIY - The Trendy Chick

Today marks the beginning of a new series on The Trendy Chick! I am calling it ThursDIY, and it obviously means every Thursday I am doing a DIY post. You can expect to see one every Thursday in June, and I might extend it into July if it goes well!

A few weeks ago I was bored and decided to try curling my hair a new way. I normally don’t curl my hair because it takes close to 30 minutes to get it all done. But since I had a lot of time, I didn’t really care.

This is what my hair looked like before I began the process. I think it was second day hair, but all I did was brush it out and add a little curling product. As you can see my hair is naturally REALLY straight, so that is why I don’t curl it very often. Even if I spend a while doing it, within a few hours it is almost all out. Very frustrating when I want curls, but most days I am happy to get out of bed and just run a brush though my hair and be done with that part of getting ready!

Anyways, so first I put it up in a high ponytail. Next time I try this, I am going to make it not quite as high, but it still turned out well!

I used a Revlon 1 inch curling iron, but just wrapped my hair around it like it was a wand. This half curled look is just so cute, huh?! This should be a new trend 😉

I continued until I had curled all my hair. It only took about 10 minutes total, and I wrapped each piece around for 10-15 seconds depending on how thick it was! I really don’t like how it looks in the ponytail curled, but it gets better.

How it looked when I first took it out. Pretty good except for that one section… I’m sure you can tell what I am talking about!

I really liked how it looked from the front!

Once I fixed a few pieces, here is the finished look! I personally love the way it turned out and it did stay like this for a few hours. Even once it began to fall it still looked good, just more wavy instead of curls!
