- Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide, depending on the desired curl tightness.
- Open the clamp and place the end of a hair section under the clamp.
- Roll the curling iron upwards towards the scalp, ensuring the hair is evenly wrapped around the barrel. The extended barrel accommodates longer hair.
- Hold for 5-10 seconds, or until the curl is set. The exact time may vary based on hair type and desired curl.
- Release the clamp and gently slide the curling iron out, allowing the curl to fall naturally.
- Repeat for all sections of hair. For a softer look, gently run your fingers through the curls once they have cooled.
