[Tutorial] How to get Voluminous Soft Curls like Tsubasa Masuwaka ♥


Today we will show you how to get voluminous soft curls like gyaru model, Tsu-chan!  ^^

♥ 始めよう! ♥ 

What you will need:
 ♥ A curling iron or curling wand. 
 We used the Conair youcurl 1 inch Curling wand in this tutorial.
 ♥ Heat Protectant. 
 We used Tresemme Heat Tamer Spray
 ♥ A hair tie to section half of your hair 
 ♥ A Brush or Comb 
 ♥ Hair spray 
 ♥ *Optional* Hair Smoothing Serum 
 We used Garnier Frutis Anti Humidity Smoothing Milk


Spray your hair with heat protectant to avoid excessive damage.
Spray about a foot away from your hair and coat your hair evenly with the spray.


Be sure to section off your bangs.
Tie up half of your hair. It is easier to curl in sections.
Run your fingers through your hair to make small sections that will be curled.

   
Curl away from your face.
If your hair is too long to completely wrap around the barrel,
curl the top half first, then the bottom half.
Leave about an 1"inch to 1.5"inches away from your roots uncurled

★If it's hard for you to judge how high to curl to;
 tie your hair into two low pig tails and curl your hair up to the hair ties.
When you're done curling, remove the hair ties and your hair will all my curled at the same length.

★Make sure when you're wrapping your hair around the barrel, that your hair is flat. ★
If your hair is twisted while you're wrapping it, it will make your hair wavy instead of curled.


Hair spray as needed.
This is what you should get :3
Don't worry too much if it doesn't look perfect.
Untie the top half and curl the rest of your hair.


When you have curled all of your hair, separate the curls by 
combing them with your fingers or pulling small sections apart.
*Optional: Use a smoothing milk to rehydrate your hair. 
This is recommended for people with dry or coarse hair.*

For softer curls, brush out your curls and comb them with your fingers.
This will give you some extra volume! 

Comparison:
Left: Unbrushed    Right: Brushed out
If your hair has the tendency to uncurl very quickly,
pull the curls apart with your fingers instead of brushing them out.
Depending on your hair type, you may need to use hair spray in between steps.




★完成★
Finished!


おまけ
Here's three super easy styles you can do with your curled hair!

Left: Half Pony Tail              ★          Right: Fish Tail Braid





Side Half Pony Tail
Tie up half of your hair into a side pony tail and put the rest of your hair on the same side.
It will create the illusion of an extra long pony tail.


Hopefully this will help you get the perfect soft curled hair!!

Hi Guys~ ♥
We're continuing Saturday's post with what's in my makeup bag!  I have a real weak spot for cute and limited edition packaging.  I've accumulated quite a collection from this habit, so I often change out my cosmetics depending on my outfit (or mood :3 ).  But no matter what I'm wearing or how I'm feeling...

...You can always find these in my makeup bag ♥  


 K Pallette 24 hour eyeliner

 Love Darling Eyeliner

My makeup bag ♥

And also how I sometimes feel in the morning before I've had a cup of tea @_@


Which makeup collection do you think has the best packaging?
