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 🙂

Favorite things I heard this week: Goldie genuinel Favorite things I heard this week:
Goldie genuinely asking Harris: “Who has your heart been waiting for?” asking him about who he thinks is cute at school.
Harris: “I haven’t decided yet.”

Goldie walking into my closet before bed last night: “How is my pretty pretty one?” referring to me 😂 Yes, I will read you another book, Goldie.

What were some things that lit up your week?
Make us smile!

#parcellsundayselfie 6/26/22 #sundaybest
This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?
