I have straight hair that doesn't like to curl or hold curl. My hair can barely hold a 5/8" curl throughout the day, much less even curl with a 1" or bigger barrel. But, after a long time of experimenting with products, I've finally found a way to prep my hair before curling to make the curls stay! After my shower (the night before curling) I put my hair up in a towel to soak up the excess water for a little bit while getting ready for bed. Once my hair isn't dripping with water, I take off the towel and brush out my hair. Then, I apply a golf ball sized amount of Herbal Essences Curl Boosting Mousse (you can use another type of mousse if you don't have hard to curl hair) After applying the mousse throughout the lengths of my hair I begin to dry it with a hair dryer. I do this until my hair is damp. Once my hair is damp, I spray a bunch of Herbal Essences Tousling Spray Gel into my hair. This is a lightweight spray, so using a lot won't weigh down your hair or make it crunchy. I spray some more of this stuff after completely drying my hair too. Before going to sleep I braid my hair in 2 braids. Not too tight, but also not loose. This provides me with waves when I wake up to act as a base for my hair to curl. Once I take my braids out I curl as usual (See how here: http://volleysparkle.weebly.com/4/post/2013/04/how-i-curl-my-hair.html) and spray with Garnier Fructis Aerosol Hair Spray and Tresemee Tres Two Non-Aerosol Hair Spray.
