While it is not easy to curl short hair, there are some good ways for people with such hairstyles that make the curls last in a modern way. The following are three expert tips for maximizing short hair:

1. The Old-school Curling Iron

How to get curls on short hair, a curling iron is easily one of the top high ranking ways methods for creating coil and curl waviness in your locks in general. Here’s how:

• Size it up:Use a medium barrel size (about 1 to 1.5 inches) for shorter hair; This size will provide you with shaped twists to elevate your hairstyle.
• Start with Heat protection: Apply a heat protecting spray before using heating tools to save your hair from damage. Ensure that your hair is free of moisture and tangles.
• Separate your hair:along with the part and partitioning you should also separate your strands. While you are working on the bottom, clip up layers from just above your ear.
• Curling technique: Grab a piece of hair and curl it around the barrel, let go after about 10-15 seconds. For a more natural look, do the opposite side.
• Step 4: Once all sections are curled, run your fingers through your hair to slightly loosen the waves for an easy-going finish . Finish it loosely with a light hairspray for hold.

2. The Flat Iron Method
