Our guide to long lasting curls

Every time I curl my fine, thin and very long hair I always wonder why my hair doesn't hold the curl? I usually put it down to the length. The curl would get weighted down and eventually I'm back to my poker straight look. I started to try all the curling products on the market and all I ended up achieving was one successful curl that had been coated in hairspray from root to tip which could easily spark up in flames if I was too close to any fire. 

If you're anything like me you're a frequent hair curler who's always looking for hair Inspo on pinterest then wondering why you're hair doesn't look instagram worthy. Lately I've been fed up with my no hold curl, I want to have those long luscious locks that are bouncy and full, without my hair feeling like I've emptied a can of hairspray on it and being a walking fire hazard. 

I decided to do some research (googling for hours) and I found some easy tips and ticks that helped me to finally achieve better hold and an overall better curl.
