1. Wash you hair! Duh, this is a vital step. You don't want to have dirty curls. YUCK!

2. Apply moisturizing products while your hair is damp  b/c this process does use heat and you don't want your hair to be damaged.
I used products like Olive oil hair lotion, leave-in conditioner and some hair serum to give my hair a shiny look!

3. VITAL STEP: Use some flat iron heat protective spray! To will help protect your hair from the heat and ultimately save 
your hair from too much damange.

4.  Start splitting your hair. You want to start from the bottom. Brush you hair with a WIDE TOOTH COMB. It is best to brush your hair when it is DRY. Wet hair can be fragile and by combing it you can put strain on your hair
5. Take 1/2 in of hair & flat Iron 1/2 in from the roots to reduce frizzness. This part you do want almost straight.

6. 1/2 in away from your hair, start twist the curling iron out from you. Twist the curling iron twice.

7. Slowly start pulling the flat iron away from you.
THEN BAM! Your hair is CURLED! ;)
