hey guys it's Jen and today I wanted to share this super voluminous fluffy mermaid hair tutorial with
you I've had so many questions on how I curl my hair ever since my little hair update went
a little darker or the fall and I absolutely love this really pretty girl beachy hair it's like very
PC a little bit textured and gives me so much more volume which I totally need especially when it's
in this sort of like medium long phase trying to grow it out a little bit more but I still
want a lot of pretty hair moments plus I just don't have a lot of time to spend on my hair so
I want something that has a lot of impact with less time and I'm telling you just how to do it
I love a clipless curling iron so I'm gonna show you step-by-step how to get this pretty mermaid
hair so if you want to see how it's done then keep watching so you're just gonna need a few
products to get this hair curling wonderfulness on the road first of all I have the super soft
scrunchie that I have on my wrist I have a couple little hair clip II clip ease have a
heat protectant spray and my curling iron I'm going to be using is this one right here it is
the Hot Tools Signature Series gold flipper list curling wand and I want to just say a huge shout
out and thank you to Hot Tools for sponsoring this video you make this it's a fantastic product this
is the one and 1/4 inch wand I absolutely love this size for my hair length and texture I feel
like it's not too big where the curls loosen up too much and it's not too tight where it feels a
little too like Shirley Temple like it's just the perfect size but if you like a different
curl size this series also comes in a 1 inch wand and a 1 and a half inch wand as well we're
just gonna turn this on set the temperature this goes up to 430 degrees it's going to
be good to go in about 30 seconds while that's heating up I'm just gonna take my little heat
protectant spray this one is from in common it's their magic mist I really really love this one
usually I apply this while my hair is still wet after a shower because I'm going to be curling
my hair right now I want to make sure it's really protected I'm actually going to spray this right
now and then what I'm going to do is just separate my hair into sections I have quite a lot of hair
and it helps me to manage it and curl it better and make sure I don't miss any sections sometimes
I see people doing a whole lot of sectioning of their hair but honestly I'm a mom I don't have
time for like doing a bunch of little pin curls all over my head so this is just what I do so I
just twist it to the point where I can get this all up in a little bun and then I take one of
these alligator little like claw clips for hair and this is just going to hold it temporarily
and actually let me just do that to the other side while we're here what do you think guys do
I look like a disco girl so normcore and I got my two lower sections gonna scrunchie that one
I'm really having like 90s vibes right now so I just popped on my little safety heat protecting
glove and I like this one in particular because it's not too thick so it doesn't get in the way
of what I'm doing and that's just going to help me in case I accidentally like bump the barrel
it's not gonna burn my hand at all cuz I don't know about you guys but I've definitely had my
fair share of accidents so the technique I like using is I'm going to always be spinning with my
hand that's further away from my head I'm gonna pull it over my head so that it's arching down
because you always want the tip of the barrel to be pointing away from your head like the
crown of your head which gives you more ability to spin around it let me show you guys what I
mean so we got our section of hair I'm gonna go over my head like this and then I'm going
to spin this away from the crown of my head so I only hold this for maybe four or five seconds
okay so now that I have my bottom sections those pieces I don't need to be super tight curls
because they just want to give more volume for the one sitting on top but I do like to go through and
get them first okay so now we're going to take out space bun number one and then I'm going to
start with the bottom pieces again to get them done and out of the way and just fling them
over my shoulder pull it over my head and then I'm gonna curl away from my face face at least
the curls are coming out nice now that we did the basic curls on the first half of our head I'm just
going to push that to the back of my head so it's this nice little piece sectioned a little closer
to the front of my head I'm gonna do a little step-by-step so you guys can really understand
how to use the clipless iron I like holding it in one hand holding it over my head and then in the
opposite hand the one that is further away that's going to be your curling hand one that's gonna do
the spinning so that's the one you want your glove on your glove is in the hand holding your hair so
this goes over the top of your head and then you're just going to spin this away from your
head like this and just hold onto the little end bits so because it's not being clipped into the
actual curling iron you're not gonna have any dents in your hair because you don't have the
very ends touching the actual barrel it gives you the nice beachy natural-looking curl just
like that and then on this side I curled away from my head like this on this side I'm curling
away from my head like that so we're gonna get these fake bangs down so one thing I really like
about this iron is it has a really thinner part where you hold it it's very ergonomically shaped
and it's a little bit rubberized so it's easy to not slip which is very important with a curling
iron especially when you're doing this emotion I just hold it there for about four to five seconds
now I've gotten into a rhythm it goes by pretty quickly one more time taking the curling iron
going over my head and then I'm spinning it away from my head just hold onto the ends right there
you can twist the barrel if you want it a little closer to your head I've actually been pretty much
exclusively been using clipless irons for the last maybe four or five years now I just feel
like these kinds of curls look so much prettier than when you have like the perfectly manicured
prom curls did you guys ever have those like super crunchy perfect curly cute curls it's
not cute it's not good look so now that we pretty much curled everything once over we still want a
little bit more volume up here at the crown so I'm going to go over one more time but I'm just
taking sections from the top circle of my head let me finger comb my hair first just to kind
of blend those curls all together so I can get a better idea of where I still need to curl my
hair what I do is I sort of weave my finger under the top bit of hair and see how it's curled at the
end but it could use more curls tighter to the top of the head and that's because when you're
curling around like this the sections of hair are longer this way but now we're going to do them
so they're more flat this way and then that'll give me a boost just up here where I like more
volume okay now I'm going to do literally the same motion but I'm doing an extra twist to get
it really close to my scalp as much as possible without obviously having it be too hot bomb ahead
and then when that blends in it gives me just a little more lift okay so we're gonna do
that a little bit further you really want to focus that right by the crown yeah yeah then
especially right near the front of my head I like to really get these sections poppin
especially cuz like I still have these fake baby hair stuff that grew up that just grew
like crazy after I had Azra to get a little more curled and out of the way so as you can
see it definitely lifted a lot more up around the top so next I'm going to pop a little bit
more of that same spray I used earlier just to the ends of the hair cuz I really like having
that beach wave texture you know like you just went to the ocean and you stepped out
and it gives you these beautiful little crimpy curls just makes the ends a little bit more PC
and sexy and natural-looking I'm all about that easy hair life you know what I mean
I know a lot of people especially if their curls are more curl resistant you can definitely top it
off with some hairspray but I actually really love just kind of letting it loosen up over time and my
hair since it does have a bit of texture already these will stay for like good day and a half at
least until the next time I shower so yeah it how I get these beautiful natural beachy curls if you
