If you have curled your hair with the Airstyler, you naturally want to enjoy it for as long as possible. Do your curls fall out too quickly? With these tips, they will stay beautiful longer.
Tip 1: start with a clean base
Styling your hair already begins when you wash it. For curling your hair with an Airstyler or Airwrap dupe, you need a clean base. Therefore, make sure to wash your hair well with a cleansing shampoo. Handy tip: clear shampoos are often cleansing, while creamy shampoos are more nourishing.
Did you use a lot of products in your hair last time? Then it’s smart to wash it twice with shampoo. This way you are sure all residues are gone and your hair is truly clean before you style it again.
Tip 2: use lightweight hair products
When curling your hair with an Airstyler, it is important to choose lightweight products. If your products are too heavy, they weigh your hair down and your curls will fall out faster. So after washing, choose a light conditioner (for example, one focused on volume) and skip the hair mask this time.
Do you also use products like a leave-in or heat protectant after washing? Then choose lightweight products here as well. And: don’t apply too much. The more you use, the greater the chance you weigh your hair down. A few sprays are often enough to protect your hair. Brush through and you’re ready for the next step.
Tip 3: prepare your hair well
That means preparing your hair. You do this by applying a product that provides hold. If you are curling with an Airwrap, mousse is often the best option. Mousse is very lightweight and gives your hair texture. This helps it stay in place longer after styling. You also get more volume in your hair with mousse.
How do you apply mousse? First, towel-dry your hair so most of the water is out. Divide it into sections, for example two at the bottom of your hair and two at the top. Then apply a dollop of mousse per section. Brush it through well so it is distributed over all your hair.
How much you use depends on the length and thickness of your hair. For long hair, you need an amount the size of a tennis ball. If your hair is shorter or thinner, you can use the size of a golf ball.
Tip 4: blow-dry your hair until 80% dry
After preparing your hair, you can start styling. Do this by blow-drying it mostly dry first. Use the blow-dryer attachment of the Sansbeauté 8-in-1 Airstyler for this. This dries the hair quickly.
Do you naturally have curls or does your hair frizz easily? Then blow-dry it halfway dry first, and then use one of the smoothing attachments. This allows you to blow-dry the hair without frizz, so you have a nice base to create curls with the curling attachments of the Airstyler.
Tip 5: choose the right blow-dryer setting for your hair
When your hair is still slightly damp, you can start making curls. For this, attach the curling attachment to your Airstyler. For coarser, Hollywood-style curls, use the short, wide attachment. If you want soft, bouncy curls, choose the longer, narrower barrel. Depending on which side you work on, you can adjust the direction of the airflow. This way you don’t have to switch the attachment in between.
Then set your Airstyler to the highest temperature and speed. This ensures your curls form well. Take a strand of hair and hold the end near the Airstyler. Then your hair will wrap around it by itself. Move upward until you reach the roots, so your hair curls fully around the attachment. Wait until your strand is completely dry (this shouldn’t take too long) and then activate the cool shot. This fixes the curl so it stays beautiful longer.
Tip 6: fix your curls with hairspray
Have you curled all your hair? Then it’s time to fix your hair. Do this with hairspray. Spray the hairspray over your curls and let it dry. Don’t like the ‘hard’ look of hairspray? After drying, you can gently brush it out with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb. This way you keep soft, shiny curls that stay in place all day.
Tip 7: protect your hair while sleeping
Want to enjoy your Airstyler curls even longer? Protect your hair when you go to sleep. You can do this by sleeping on a satin pillowcase. This prevents friction, so your curls stay better in shape. Do you move a lot in your sleep? Then wear a sleep cap or bonnet so your hair is well protected.
Is this not enough for your hair and your curls still fall out? Then consider putting your hair in soft rollers before going to bed. The next morning you take them out, and your curls are just as beautiful as the day before.
Bonus tips: long-lasting curls that don’t fall out
Have you already followed all these tips but your curls still fall out? Here are some extra tips and tricks to try:
1. Take smaller sections. It’s tempting to take large sections while blow-drying so you finish quickly. But if you want your curls to last longer, it’s important to work carefully. Better to spend a little more time once for curls that stay beautiful for three days than to start over every day. Right?
2. Make sure your hair is still damp. This is important because the shape of your hair is determined while drying it. If the ends are already dry when you start curling, moisten them again with a mist spray bottle before using the Airstyler.
3. Secure the curls after styling. Instead of immediately releasing the strand after drying, take a clip and secure the curl at your roots. This gives your hair more time to cool down properly and become 100% dry, and the curl stays better.
4. Moisture is your enemy. If you go outside in mist or rain, your hair comes into contact with moisture and returns to its natural shape. This also applies to shower steam. Therefore, protect your hair as much as possible against moisture to keep the curl longer.
5. Use a texture spray. Some hair types are naturally so soft and smooth that they can hardly hold a curl. Then try applying a texture spray just before styling with the curling barrels. This gives the hair more grip, so the style lasts longer.
