Don't have curly hair but want to add volume to your locks? You can try various simple methods to create curls and add bounce to your hair. Here are four 4 DIY ways by make-up expert Ishika Taneja on adding natural-looking curls in your hair.
Tong curls: Wash your hair and let them dry completely (Learn the right way to wash your hair). Create sections and put a heat protection spray and comb out. Wrap a section over the tong and let the steam out, keep it for around 20 seconds. You can set the tong on the temperature between 180-220 degrees. Then take a second section and wrap it in opposite direction over a tong. This will give a bounce to the hair. When done, settle it with a fixing spray.
Paper bag curls: Wash and towel dry the hair and spread mousse evenly on the strands. Cut thin, long strips of paper and wrap sections of your hair in the inward direction. After folding all the sections, tie the edges of strips to keep them intact. Paper strips will soak the wetness, making hair completely dry. Open the knots to get spiral curls.
Slicked out curls: Apply mousse on washed and dry hair. Brush them out and make thin sections. Twist your hair and put a rubber band on the tip or twist it till you get a tiny bun, secure it with the bobby pin. Blow dry or let them dry till you take a nap. Remove the pins when dried completely.
Out-of-the-bed curls: Wash your hair. Take equal amount of serum and mousse and mix them well. Apply the mixture evenly on head and comb properly and then scrunch your hair. Also try fringes this season, select the right kind of bangs for your face shape.
