Hairstyle: Les Curles ala Dexie

by Sasha Manuel on October 9th, 2007

Before you guys go curl up, here’s another set of tips to optimise that curling iron.

When I shared my version of the natural-looking curly hair styling tip, Dexie Wharton of Style It Less and I got to talking about her “Les Curles”. I had wanted to see how her curls looked like and she not only sent a couple of photos but also shared a set of instructions on how she worked them curls.

Take a look at another woman with Asian straight hair gunning for some curls.

1. Apply mousse while wet then blow dry.
2. Holding the curling iron, vertically, gather sections of hair in between the barrel of the iron. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Depends how curly you want it. Keep holding the iron in vertical position.
3. Repeat process. Don’t pick the curls until all sections are done.
4. Use finger tips to pick the curls.

Dexie’s Important Tip: “The key is holding the iron vertically.”

Aren’t we all glad to learn a new way to style our hair? Thanks for sharing Dexie!
