5 Steps to Carrie Bradshaw Curls

I don't about you but every time I watch sex and the city I've always longed after carrie’s spiral curls but that's probably because my hair is poker straight and us women always want we don't have. However, through the medium of beauty we can usually create the illusion and change ourselves to suit any looks we crave. Enter lee Staffords chopstick curler! This creates the most amazing natural spiral curls you could ever wish for. Today I am going to show you step by step how I use the wand and the effect it creates.

Step 1
Thoroughly brush through your hair making sure it's completely detangled and then proceed to section off the top section of your hair and secure it with a clip or bobble if you can't find like a clip like me!

Step 2
Take an inch section of hair and wrap it around the wand tightly and then just work your way around your head curling an inch section at a time.

 

Step 3
Drop the top section of your hair and again use the same process but this time take slightly bigger sections because if you have layers you don't want the curls to shoot up as you'll end up looking like an 80’s throwback. Continue to work your way around your head taking 2inch sections until your hair
is completely curled.

Step 4
Now this is really important for the longevity of this hairstyle you must let your curls cool down first for maybe 10-15 minutes and this will allow them to set in place but don't worry this isn't the finished hairstyle I am aware it looks absolutely crap at this point but don't you worry because next comes the sass 💁

Step 5
For that sass you need get these curls looking as naturally wild as possible! So first things first tip your head upside and while doing this run your fingers through the curls. Then you will need a wide toothed comb to gently brush the curls out and fluff them up. To create more volume I like to lift the top section and just lightly backcomb the roots and repeat this on both sides and then with a spritz of hairspray there you have it your very own Carrie Bradshaw spiral curls.

Another thing to note would be that it’s best to do this hairstyle on 1 or 2 days old hair as the curl holds much better and it will be easier to do as it won't be so slippy. My curls tend to last me at least 2 or 3 days the curls literally don't drop out until you wash them out. If you want to buy the lee stafford chopstick curler I got mine from argos for £17.99 so it is pretty cheap! I can't rave about the chopstick curler enough it is literally my go to curling wand everytime I'm off out on the town it never fails to take my hair from flat and sad to big and bouncy.
