How do I use a Spiral Curling Iron??

[akeli]

A friend of mine loaned me her spiral curling iron <she could not figure out how to use it either> and she lost the instructions. It has a coil wrapped around the blazer and the clamp is super small.

Please help.

Thanks

The best way I can describe it is this...make sure the piece of hair you have is not bigger than the spiral on the iron. The clamp is small because it is only supposed to hold the very end of your hair. So Clamp the end of your hair and slowly turn the iron so that your hair lays between the spirals, wait a few seconds then release, you should have a pretty spiral curl.

Thanx Babygurl, I am going to try out my new toy tomorrow.

is it a conair spiral curling iron? I have one of those and my curls came out great with it.

Yep, it is a conair.

My plan is to airdry my hair then use the curling iron. I thought about blowdrying my hair first, but if I get my hair to straight, i don't think it will hold the curl.

One more question, I did use the spiral iron and my hair is looking real cute.

But, how do I pin it up at night so the curls will still look fresh in the morning?
