I told you..retarded I know. But I have never done it before and tried this morning with a few pieces and it sorta curled but not cleanly. I ended up with little fuzzy parts at the end that looked like burrs lmao. SO weird. Hit them behind my erar with a clip.
Is there a special way to curl the thing? Hold it?

Re: STUPID question but I need HELP!
There's two ways that I know.
The regular way gives you shirley temple style curls. You take a one inch or so section of hair, open up the 'tongs' on the curling iron, but the tip of your hair and clamp it (or clamp in the middle and then slide down so only the ends are held in the tongs or whatever it's called. Then curl up, up, up. Hold for 5 seconds or 10 or 20 (depending how thick and how long your hair is - since yours is short, no longer than 5-10 seconds). Then open the tongs and slide the curling iron out. Voila, curls!
The second way... hold on a sec ETA: sorry about that. Ok the second way I do it to get more 'wave' style curls instead of banana/shirley temple curls is this. Open the clasp/tongs and keep open. Take a section of hair and insert the open curling iron towards the root of your hair (not too close! don't get burned!), then wrap the rest of your hair around the barrel of the curling iron and close the clasp. Hold, release, and voila, wave type curls.

Re: STUPID question but I need HELP!
you have to use a straightening iron first. Then you use a curling iron, and while it's curled, spray some hair spray on it. You should do thin strands at a time.
