Yeah, I've actually tried to curl my hair before and gave up just because I thought my hair might be too heavy with how long it is but I'm giving it another try! I LOVE my flat iron though.  |

mine used to do that, but i find hairspray immediately after curling helps somewhat.  |

I'm actually not smart with hairspray either, any kind that won't make your hair feel strange? |

Yay! Hopefully it works for you like it does for me, spray like immediately after you take the curling iron off so it doesnt have time to fall. |

Well, its probably more than likely your hair is the cause. Since your hair is so long and its heavy. The weight of your hair actually pulls the curls out. Have you considered layering your hair to help witht the weight? As for products I would talk to a hairdresser. They can help you out I'm sure. Or try Sally's Beauty Supply. *hugs*  |

Thank you for your comment AngelGurl4Ever, I've actually got my hair in layers at the moment but all the layers are still pretty long, maybe I need a new cut. |

And make sure you have healthy hair. Try using a volume boosting shampoo, conditioner and moose or something. They can also help. *hugs* |

I got those 3 for 12 bucks too and they dont work on my hair either. I think it may be the curling irons?  |

I have the same prob, its our hair its too long and heavy so unless you use a ton of hairspray it won't hold.  |

curls I have an abundance of... what I want to know is how does anyone get their hair straight without being frizzy?!? why can I use a flat iron and make my hair stick lifelessly to my head AND STILL have curls show up an hour later? (if I'm lucky and it doesn't just turn in to flat frizz) It takes over no matter what I do. Hot rollers might be a better way to go with your length.  |

I couldn't tell ya- my hair is baby fine and won't hold a curl to save my life. No amount of product will make my hair stay curly.  |

If the irons arent keeping the curl.. by the sounds of it. your hair is heavy... maybe have it thinned out a bit .. or instead of using the irons, use hot rollers.. they always give hair a nice bouncy curl.  |

oh yeah don't like ... drown your hair in hairspray just a little does the trick. I have REALLY REALLY REALLY thick hair. Like anytime i get my hair cut, the person cutting it it like "Oh geeze"... i even had aguy take off work early after cutting my hair last time i got it cut. I have mine in layers too they did help. Mine are pretty long as well. |

Well you can have my hair! It's curly all by itself...just wash and go. Bleh. I had my hair long for a while and then I got it layered. It's tons easier to handle now..especially in the summer when its HOT. Just make sure after you curl hair to wait until the hair is cooled down; if you touch it when it's hot then the curl falls. And hairspray will be your best friend. :P  |

get some velcro rollers, after you do the curling iron thing roll that piece of hair up in a velcro (or two) and let it sit and cool off, that will also help hold the curl. Spray with hairspray while they are in the velcros.  |

if there's a heat setting on them, try setting it at the highest heat. My hair doesn't curl worth beans--it's very fine and not very long, but it's stick straight and curls just slide right out. Try working with "dirty" hair, ie, don't wash your hair right before curling it, wash it the day before. If I try curling freshly washed hair, I might as well forget it lol. Good luck and post some pics!  |
