I know you’re probably sick of me talking about myself by now, but since some of you asked how Joyce curled my hair for the Bee Meetup, here are the details she provided! 

Products/Tools:

• Hair dryer
• Volumizing mousse
• 1 1/4″ barrel titanium curling iron by Hot Tools
• TIGI Bedhead Masterpiece Shine spray
• Beyond the Zone Deranged molding wax
• TIGI Bedhead Hard Head

1. Start off with damp clean hair.  Blow dry on a medium setting (not hot) with volumizing mousse (a dollop) from root to ends. Scrunch hair near the roots with fingers as hair is starting to dry to give it lift.

2. Sectioning is the key. Separate your hair in 3 sections (the 2 sides and the back leaving the front to do last) with strong hair clips.  Start from the back of the head and move to the front, curling about 2″ sections of hair at a diagonal, first spraying each section with hairspray (Joyce used TIGI Bedhead Masterpiece Shine spray). She mixed it up a little with the direction of the curling so the curls didn’t all go one way.

3. After all areas are curled and cooled down, take hair wax or pomade - Beyond the Zone Deranged molding wax - into the palm of your hands and scrunch gently into hair ends so it controls flyaways and gives hair more texture.  Be careful not to put too much or else it will weigh the hair down.  Curls will relax a bit throughout the day so curling a little tighter is fine; just manipulate the wax into your hair to shape it.  Also give your hair a final spray with a good stronger spray (TIGI Bedhead Hard Head) for holding power.

I’ve always loved curling my hair, and I typically use Bumble and Bumble styling products — I love the thickening spray and the does it all hairspray.  I also use their brown hair powder when I don’t have time to take a shower (which is sadly quite often).

But I don’t style my hair often, so I don’t know too much about styling products. Please recommend your favorites in the comments section!  Happy curling!
