How to curl your hair with a pencil in 3 step

Step 1

Separate your hair into 6 sections, pinning 5 of those sections out of the way with a hair clip or a bound, so you can focus on one area at a time. Take smaller pieces for better curls, the process may take longer. The smaller the section of hair, the tighter your curls will be. If you section a bigger amount of hair, the curls will be loose and big.

Step 2

Take an inch of hair from the section you’re working with and wrap it around your pencil. Continue to twist on the rest of the hair onto the pencil. Leave about one to two inches of hair on top to allow the curls to contour your head. You can either start with your pencil at the top and wrap your hair down the length of it, or start with your pencil at the bottom and twist it up so that your hair wraps around as you go. Make sure that your iron is not too hot as it can burn your hair. Wait about 10 seconds for each twist, gently pressing the hair on the pencil. Be careful not to press your fingers with the hot iron. After ironing, hold the twist for about 10 seconds.

Step 3

Unravel slowly the hair from the pencil. Run your fingers through your curls once or twice. Do not continue to comb through your hair as the curls will not stay. After you have achieved the look you want, continue on to seal in your style.
