My hair is all one length and it goes down to the middle of my back. I love my hair but I nee to do something different with it. I've been trying out the wand curler to get curls but for some reason my hait just won't hold and I can't seem to get the curls big like them. Any ideas?

Try pin curls, flexi rods or bantu knots for pretty curls and waves. They're pretty easy to do and they're all heat free so no damage! There's plenty of tutorials for them on youtube!

Maybe your heat setting needs to be higher? Just remember to use heat protectant! If your willing to invest in a curling iron, try Hot Tools. They can be really expensive but they really work on hard to curl hair! Another tip I have is to wash your hair the night before you curl it. The natural oils in your hair will help to hold the curl so it lasts longer(:

Your hair is REALLY long and that means it's heavy. I used to have hair this long and it's VERY hard to keep curls in. I'd suggest pin curls or flexirods, and sleep in them. I know it's uncomfortable, but it's what you have to do!

I also recommend using a high heat setting, with heat protectant of course, and you'll need some kind of hairspray to keep the curls in. You could always get layers cut in to free up some of the weight on top! I know you love your hair, but it could be great for when you want to curl it.

Also, make sure you're taking small sections of hair when you curl. If you take a huge chunk, the heat isn't going to disperse right and you'll end up with very blah curls that fall out fast. Hope this helps!
