00:10Hey, I'm Dan Sharp, lead stylist for T3. We're here in Brooklyn at my salon, Donka Ponka,
00:14and we're here with Dana. We're about to do a tutorial on how to use a curling iron. So this
00:18is what you need to get started. You need your curling iron, a couple clips, especially for
00:22thick hair, to sort of section the hair. A rat tail comb helps, and a paddle brush is great. So
00:28for
00:28you girls with hard to curl hair and you know who you are, we're going to use a light hair
00:31spray on that section right before we curl it, and it's going to really help to hold
00:34that curl in place. You're going to take that whole top section and you're going to part
00:38it with a clip and put it out of your way. Then you're going to take the first side section,
00:42you're going to over direct it forward towards the face, put the iron in behind the section
00:46parallel to the head, and you're going to wrap it away from your face, holding it for
00:50about five or six seconds. Once that side's finished, you're going to go to the other
00:54side and do the same thing. Now you're ready to do the top section. You're going to do
00:59the same thing. Direct that section forward in front of your face, put the iron on top
01:04of the section, and wrap it back away from your face. Now you're ready for the back of
01:12your head. You're going to take your two index fingers, put them just behind your ear, and
01:15you're going to section off the top of your head, twisting that section up and putting a clip
01:20in it to hold it in place. You're going to take that first section down at the nape,
01:26you're going to pull it forward, put the iron in on top of it, and roll it back away from
01:30the face, just like we did the front. Make sure when you're doing the bottom section in
01:34the back that you don't get too much curl, because that's going to make your style look
01:37a lot shorter. After you do the bottom two sections, you're ready to take that clip out
01:41and do the top section. Again, same as before. Take one half, pull it forward, put the iron
01:46behind it, and wrap it away from your face. You're going to hold it there for about six
01:49seconds and let it go. You can get this whole look in like 10 minutes at home and you see
01:55how easy it is. Look at how great Dana looks. All she has to do is run her fingers through
01:59her hair and she's out the door.
