It's tempting to want to run your fingers through your hair immediately or brush out your curls as soon as you've finished, but Potempa says this is the reason your curls fall quickly.
Instead, she suggests spraying a hairbrush with hair spray once the curls have cooled and then passing them through with a brush. Soft, touchable curls might be ideal, but if you have trouble getting curls to hold and you want them to last all day, you probably need to opt for a hairspray with a firm hold.

Use a Properly Heated Tool. Prep Your Hair Prepping before you curl is also instrumental to your style lasting all day. Use a mousse and heat protectant before you blow-dry in order to give the hair more hold. Use Clips Clips are your styling friend, both pre- and post-curl. Barrel Size Matters " Switch to a smaller barrel size if you want to make the curls last longer.
Try Hot Rollers If your hair is fine, limp, or otherwise refuses to hold a curl, hot rollers may be a better option than a curling iron. Keep Your Hands Off It's tempting to want to run your fingers through your hair immediately or brush out your curls as soon as you've finished, but Potempa says this is the reason your curls fall quickly.
With a digital reader, you get even heat distribution, so you're not frying certain parts of your strands. Your curling iron is the wrong size. Your tool is on the wrong heat setting. For most hair types, staying around the degree mark is a good rule of thumb. Finer hair types can go down degrees, and denser, coarser hair types can dial it up a few degrees. Double-processed hair should stick to around degrees and color-treated hair should use a lower temperature to extend the life of hair color.
For natural or textured hair, start off around degrees and use a lower heat setting degrees for quick touchups. You're not using a heat protectant. You're curling in the wrong direction.
Consider an iron that rotates in both directions like the Beachwaver , so that you can get a consistent wave on both sides. You're clamping the ends. So, if you have short or medium-length hair, opt for a barrel that's 1" in diameter. If you only put on hairspray when you're done curling your hair, you'll run more of a risk that your hair will fall flat. Just note that you want to make sure you're lighting misting your hair—not saturating it. Use too much, and that's when you'll end up with the dreaded burned-hair smell.
Also, steer clear of hair oil, Stone says, as it can weigh down your waves. You might be tempted to crank up the heat setting on your iron as high as goes—it'll hold better, right? While it's true that a hotter temperature sets hair faster, it can also damage your hair if it's fine, color-treated, or dry. No matter your hair type, though, proceed with caution: Use a heat protectant to prevent any long-lasting damage.
This might seem like a no-brainer, but different types of waves and curls require you to wrap your hair around the barrel differently. This is also where an iron with a clip can come in handy to help hold the ends in , whereas a rod iron will help to keep the ends out and loose. For more on messy waves, read our how-to here.
