Learn MoreCurling short hair can seem challenging, but you can achieve beautiful, bouncy curls with the right techniques and hair care products - such as a wand or tongs. Here’s how.
For short hair, small curlers are ideal as they fit the length better.
Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and apply a heat protectant to minimise damage.
Divide your hair into manageable sections to make the curling process easier.
Wrap small sections of hair around the curler, hold for a few seconds, then release. If you are curling your hair in advance of an event or occasion, we recommend pinning your curls using hair clips after they’ve been curled. This will ensure longer-lasting curls!
Apply a light hairspray to hold the curls in place without making them stiff.
