Steps
Start with damp hair and work a heat protectant through from mid-lengths to ends. Add a small amount of medium hold mousse if your curls usually drop fast.
Rough dry your hair until it is about 80 to 90 percent dry. Airwrap curls set best on hair that still feels slightly damp, not soaking wet or bone dry.
Section your hair: clip the top half up and work from the bottom, taking 1 to 2 inch wide sections. Smaller sections give tighter, longer lasting curls.
Attach the curling barrel and choose a direction. Wrapping hair away from your face gives the most natural, lasting shape.
Hold the barrel near the ends and let the Coanda airflow wrap the hair around it, then glide the tool up towards your scalp. Do not twist it yourself.
Hold the heat for 10 to 15 seconds, until that section feels warm and dry to the touch.
Press the cold shot button and hold it for about 10 seconds while the curl is still on the barrel. This sets the shape.
Slide the barrel out and keep the curl coiled in your hand or pin it flat against your head. Let it cool completely before you touch it again.
Repeat around the head, then unpin the curls and comb through gently with a wide tooth comb or your fingers.
Finish with a light flexible hold hairspray, holding the can about 8 to 10 inches from your head.
Tips and common mistakes
Skip heavy oils and rich leave-in creams before curling, as they weigh hair down and pull curls out.
Do not brush curls while they are still warm. Let them cool fully first or they will drop straight away.
Curls loosen as they cool, so use a barrel one size smaller than the finish you want.
Curl every front section in the same direction so the style stays even on both sides.
Questions
How damp should my hair be for Airwrap curls?
Aim for about 80 percent dry. The hair should feel cool and slightly damp, not dripping wet, or the curl will not hold its shape.
Why do my Airwrap curls fall out after 20 minutes?
The usual causes are hair that is too wet, sections that are too big, or brushing the curls out before they cool. Use the cold shot and let each curl set fully.
Can I use the Airwrap on dry second day hair?
Yes. Mist each section lightly with water and add a little styling product so the hair can take the shape again.
