- Hey guys, it's Bailey from Cute Girls Hairstyles.
It's your favorite CGH family member
here to teach you how to do these CGH wand curls.
It took me awhile after I chopped my hair
to really learn how to work
with my short hair and how to curl it,
so I am here to teach those people today
how to do it, so they don't have to go through the struggle
of the two years it took me to figure it out.
First of all, I am in a little bit of a scenario.
I'm trying to convince Brooklyn to do a DIY hairstyle
on herself, so comment below if you want her to do that,
but don't tell her I said that,
because she doesn't really know this is happening.
So, yeah, let's get on to the curls.
All right, let's get started with the curling.
As you can see, I have my natural hair right now,
and it's a little bit crazy.
I'm going to curl my hair with a 25 millimeter wand.
I'm going to start out by separating the hair into layers.
I'm going to start with my first layer right here.
When I had really short hair,
I would just not even curl the bottom layer,
I would straighten it, and that's because
my hair is so thick that if I curled it,
it would become kind of like Dora where it's triangular,
which we don't want that at all.
Now that it's a little bit longer, I go ahead and curl it,
but I just make the curls really loose.
That way, we don't get that Dora look.
I'm going to start on this side,
and I'm going to take a pretty good size chunk,
that way the curl isn't too thick.
And I'm going to curl it away from my face.
I usually try and hold the ends off a little bit,
just to try and keep my hair
as healthy as possible while curling.
All right, so there you can see,
we have a really good loose curl,
and I usually tug on my curls, especially with short hair,
that way, they come out a little bit looser.
I will take the second piece back here,
and go ahead and curl that.
And I'm still doing it away from my face.
Try and show you.
(bright, happy music)
And there's that curl.
I'm going to go ahead and curl all the way
around my head for the first layer.
(bright, happy music)
Okay, so now I have the full bottom layer curled.
I'm just going to comb that out a little with my fingers.
You can see that it's a pretty good curl,
really loose, which is exactly what I was looking for
on both sides, which makes me really happy.
Now I'm going to move on to the second layer,
so I'm going to go ahead and take
the rubber band out and split that up.
I usually only do about three layers,
only because I like to take thicker pieces
when I curl my hair, but the number of layers
you do with your hair depends on the thickness.
All right, now onto layer two.
I'm going to do the exact same thing
I did on the second layer, where I take bigger chunks,
I curl it and then I pull it out just a little bit
at the end, that way the curl isn't too
curly, I guess (giggles).
(bright, happy music)
Okay, so now the second layer is done,
so I'm going to go ahead and move on
to the third layer.
When I cut my hair this last time,
I went ahead and cut some really short layers
in the front, so it kind of looks like I have bangs.
Those might look a little funny originally,
but I'm going to go back through and fix them later.
So I'm just going to go through
and do the normal curls first.
(bright, happy music)
So this is how I cool them.
Get the wind flowing through your locks.
Cool, yeah, okay.
So now that they're a little bit more cooled down,
we can go ahead and comb through with our fingers,
and see how they turned out.
All right.
So for short hair,
it's a little bit different than long hair.
Like, you can't just like comb out your curls
and expect them to be like fan-tab-u-lous-ly perfect
because short hair can be really temperamental sometimes.
So, as I can see, I have my bangs in the front,
and I'm not really happy with this one piece
that's really, really curly.
I'm going to plug in my straightener,
and I'm just going to take it and run it through
the ends a little bit, that way it flattens out
and lays just the way I want it to.
All right, and there we are.
Our curls are finished!
That is how you should curl your short hair.
If you've got short hair like me, high five, we're twinning.
All right, we're good.
And now, it's time for the final spin,
so I'll go around, ta-da!
We've got our short wand curls.
There you go!
