How to Curl Your Long Hair + Add a lot of Body

How to Curl Your Long Hair + Add a lot of Body featured by top Utah beauty blog, A Slice of StyleHow to Curl Your Long Hair + Add a lot of Body featured by top Utah beauty blog, A Slice of Style

One of my most commonly asked questions over the past year has been, “how do you curl your hair?!” and the main reason I haven’t posted about it yet is because I was working on a KILLER DEAL for you guys on my absolute favorite hair wand of all time HERE. It is normally $120 and…wait for it…I got you a deal for 40% off!!!! They gave me 10% off at first and I didn’t think that was good enough for you guys. So I waited. And I emailed. And then I emailed someone else. I mean, you deserve gold! It’s this is solid GOLD, baby. Use this link and use code JENICA40 at checkout for 40% off. Get the 32MM curling wand (either gold or rose gold) and your life will be changed.

I started using this curling wand a year ago and then tried to use my other curling iron the other day to see how they compared and it didn’t even remotely compare AT ALL. And this was a nice curling iron that I had loved prior to buying this hair wand! Like, I bought it at a professional beauty salon and it was really high quality but nothing, nothing NOTHING I have ever used compares to this curling wand.

Before the how to curl your hair tutorial, let’s make one thing clear:

  • This hair tutorial is FAST. It may take you longer the first couple of times, but when you have it down, it is really, really quick. I want my hair to look great because when I look good, I feel good and then I can do good (my friend Courtney’s company motto that I love!), BUT I don’t have a lot of time. I did my hair on my Vegas girl’s trip and my friends were like, “wait, what?! You hair is done??” Like…I’m faster than a speeding bullet. This wand works quickly so you can look great and get on with your busy day, girl.

Ready? Here goes!

How to Curl your Hair: a Complete Tutorial

The supplies you need to curl your hair:

  1. Buy this curling wand (the 32mm gold or rose gold version) using code JENICA40 to get 40% off (woooo!!!)
  2. After you wash your hair, spray Big Sexy Hair Root Pump Plus (this is the best price I found online by at least $6!) at the roots of your hair. I separate my hair and spray 3 strips onto each side of my scalp so that I can rub it in and cover my whole scalp.
  3. Go to the grocery store (I buy mine at Wal Mart) and get this Tresemme dry shampoo or buy it on Amazon here.
  4. Buy this hairspray (this is half the price of buying it at Ulta because you get 2!!)
  5. Comb (this kind is my favorite)
  6. Brush (I LOVE this one)

1.Before picture. A bit frizzy. I haven’t washed my hair in 3 days. I only wash my hair about every 4-5 days! How?! See step 2 and 3.

2. Blow dry your hair with heat, upside down EVERY DAY regardless of whether you just washed it or not. This helps get out some of the kinks from sleeping on it and adds the body back. Make sure to blow dry your roots really well. Blow dry it for about 2-3 minutes.

3. Dry shampoo is your best friend. Like, best friend. This dry shampoo is my favorite, and is so inexpensive when you get it a grocery store. I also really like the Suave brand. Again, you would never in a million years guess it would would so well, but it does and a lot better than many of the expensive brands I have tried. Spray the dry shampoo around your face at roots, including by your neck. Wait for it to dry then massage it in. Do this even on the day that you wash it! This is one of my secrets to a lot of body because it helps give some texture to your roots!

4. Brush you hair. I love this Wet Brush a lot.

5. Tease your hair with a comb. Start with the back and lift a small amount and push the comb back through your hair towards your head. Spray it with a little bit of hairspray, let it dry, then pick up another section just under the first and do the same. Move the to the sides of your head and do the same thing; two sections on each side of your head.

6. Comb over the top part of the back of your head where you teased it to smooth it, then spritz some hairspray over the top.

7. Separate your hair into two sections, and brush each side then spray your hair with hairspray. This will allow it to hold the curl. Let it dry then brush through it. ONLY DO THIS ON THE FIRST DAY THAT  YOU WASHED YOUR HAIR OR HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY SPRAYED IT WITH HAIRSPRAY! Since I only wash my hair every 4-5 days, when I curl it again on the day 2-5, you don’t need to spray your hair again before you curl it because it already has hairspray.

8. I heat up my curling wand to 430 degrees. Don’t ask me why I started doing it to that temp (you can adjust the temp as you want), but it has worked perfectly for me! Also, BE EXTRA CAREFUL not to burn yourself! This this is HOT!! Grab a piece of your hair in the front, and using your curling wand, curl it back. Hold the curl for a few seconds after it’s done so that the heat doesn’t pull it out.

9. Get another section of hair and curl it in the opposite direction. This helps add a lot of body and texture!

10. Keep curling section by section of hair on one side of your head in the opposite direction, one section after the next.

11. Pull your hair away from your head and spray it with hairspray. Try to angle your head to the side so your hair is falling away from your face, and pull your hair apart while you’re spraying it. This gives it a lot of body!

12. Do the same with the other side of your hair, make sure the teasing is combed down over the top so you can’t see it underneath the first layer of your hair, and spray it with lots of hairspray.

    How long is the wand discount code good for? I’ve been wanting to upgrade my curling iron (it’s old and pretty low quality) and your recommendations are golden! I just can’t spend that kind of money without planning ahead since I’m a stay at home mom and we have to keep things tight living on one income.
    Loved this post and appreciate all the time and effort you put into it! Thanks Jenica you’re the best!

    Hi Jenica! Thanks so much for taking the time to get the deal for us and doing this post. I have 8 month old boy/girl twins myself so I know that time is precious and time away from the babies has to be *worth* it. I’ve been eyeing the Bombay wands for a bit so I’m excited to try it!

    I’ve loved your hair tutorial and gel nail tutorial (already done a manicure at home!) and I was wondering if you might do a post about your skincare routine? What you use and any tricks you might have? I’m always curious 🙂 And if you could find an awesome deal on whatever you use, none of us would mind.

      Thanks, Nikki! You are so kind. YES, you know what I mean when I say that time is precious! Congrats on your twins!

      Yes, I would love to do a post on my skincare routine. I’ll work on that and try to get that up within the next month or so and I’ll try to get some great deals for you, too.

      Have a great day!

    I love the tutorial! Thank you for also sharing which hot tool you use! Just thought I would mention that the gold 32mm is already marked down to $60 in the sale section. Interestingly, it comes with a curling wand stand. The rose gold, priced at $120, doesn’t include the curling wand stand.

    I love this tutorial! Thank you so much. You mention you only wash your hair every 4-5 days so before you go to bed do you brush through your hair and put it up? How, with what?

      Hi, Gretchen! You bet!

      I don’t brush my hair or put it up before bed. Maybe I should, but I don’t think it’s comfortable to sleep with my hair up so I don’t. I just sleep on it and then do it all over again the next day 🙂

      Hi Karla! I think that you would still be fine with this size barrel. I like bigger, looser, curls and my friends who have shoulder-length hair like this size as well 🙂

#ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sl #ad You think you’re getting a good night’s sleep, but you continue to wake up feeling unrested and aren’t sure why.

Your spouse notices you are snoring and they can’t get their own good night’s sleep by sleeping in the same room.

Neither option is any fun for anyone involved!

Snoring can be a symptom. Sleep apnea is where your throat closes off while you are sleeping, which does not allow for proper oxygen flow to your brain, thus leaving you tired the next day….and leaving your spouse sleepless as well.

And we all know that a CPAP machine is not the most user-friendly experience out there…

Enter @Soundsleepmedical. They have created an appliance that gives you sound sleep. The device holds your jaw slightly forward when you sleep so your airway is not blocked at all, and you wake up feeling refreshed and your spouse can sleep back in the same room as you.

Quality of life and a happy spouse is a win-win.

Be sure to use the link in my bio to schedule your free sleep screening. You can use code JENICA to receive a free sleep screening, which includes an in-office consultation and at-home sleep test, along with $50 off your oral appliance.

Sweet dreams my friends.
I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I cannot BELIEVE it was only a short year ago that I was deciding if I could handle doing another frozen embryo transfer…and now LOOK at him 🥹 It was one of the hardest years of my entire life. Going through things I don’t wish on anyone. But look at us now 😭 And looking internally…the things I’ve learned.

This is it. Not just in motherhood, although moth This is it.

Not just in motherhood, although motherhood really amplifies it, but in life.

It’s the fast days that are loud and sunny.

It’s the slow days that are quiet and snowy.

The mismatched pajamas and the dressed to the nines.

It’s the mess.

It’s the organization and order.

It’s the to-do list that gets crossed off and the to-do list that doesn’t.

It’s in the allowing of both.

It’s in perhaps preferring one over the other, but not judging either.

It’s in the wisdom that both will pass and each have lessons to teach.

Neither is wrong.

Both are allowed.

This is it.

It might feel impossible in the middle of it and y It might feel impossible in the middle of it and you might question everything.

“I have no idea what the future will bring.”

“Will everything I’m putting myself through be worth it?”

“What am I doing?”

“Am I making the right choice?”

But your moments will come. Trust that and let it bring you peace.

The alternative is feeling anxious, which is also completely acceptable and normal, but remember that you also have the option of trusting and feeling peace, too. There is room for both.

You’re not alone in this 🤍

It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the It was a year ago that I decided to jump into the deep, black ocean of IVF again. I knew what I was doing this time and I was filled with fear because…I knew.

When I found out I was pregnant, the fear was my secret. Only a close few knew.

And this space was filled with tears, uncertainty…soul reaching prayers.

Sleepless nights, gut wrenching heartache.

Secrets that I hold close to my heart.

And then he came.

And the healing began.

And the mama, this mama, knew she did it.

That black ocean had swallowed her whole and she’d do it again for the light that is him.

Once she swam to the surface, and jaggedly gasped in the fresh air and felt the sunshine on her face, she knew she would do it all over again.

For this sacred chaos.

Tonight as I was moving the bassinet out of my room, I stopped. The room will soon be cleared. The shelves emptied and the order restored. And I can’t believe that the ocean was conquered. The chaos was where I found the strength and the beauty.

The sacred, precious chaos.
