Start at the crown of your head. Make about a half-inch section. Then comb straight up. Hold in your hand. Use other hand to grab the curling iron.

Squeeze handle until the iron rod opens. Place the curling iron as close to the scalp as possible without burning yourself. Slowly slid up the hair shaft to the very ends of your hair.

I picked this video on how to curling iron your hair. Because in this video she is doing her own hair. I figured you wanted to learn to curl your own hair. A video demonstrating someone getting their hair curled may confuse how you position the curling iron.

The main part of the video. I want you to see where she put the barrel of the curling iron after she has sectioned her hair. If you noticed she clamped her hair about and inch or two from the scalp slowly sliding down the hair shaft and turning the curling iron.

Curling ironing your hair this way minimizes the damage to the ends of your hair. Allowing your hair to get an equal amount of heat.

If you start by curling ironing your ends. Then roll your hair up to your scalp. The ends are overheated and the rest of your hair shaft is under heated. Therefore giving you a weak curl with burnt ends.

The girl in the video gave you a general idea of the proper way to curling iron your hair. However she didn't do a very good job at sectioning her hair. The section was too thick.

If you want pretty long lasting curls. Look at the thickness of the barrel. If your barrel is an inch around. You want you sections to be an inch thick. Don't make your sections to wide. It's easier to manipulate the hair with smaller sections.
