    • @renaematt
      @renaematt Před 10 dny

      There could be several reasons, and sometimes it's a matter of trial and error to keep testing what works and what doesn't. Here are a few things to consider testing if you are having a hard time with it curling or holding a curl. 1. Products! You always want to make sure you are using some type of heat protectant to protect your hair, but there are also products that help hold the curl/style. Adding a product that isn't too heavy for your hair, but also has a good hold would be ideal. 2. Make sure your hair is completely dry before curling. 3. Take smaller sections when curling and make sure you hold it long enough for the heat to distribute through your hair (especially if your hair is long and/or heavy). 4. Consider your tools - there are different types of irons (such as titanium or ceramic) and that can affect how your hair responds. Test different types of tools and temperature ranges to see how your hair reacts. (My hair never holds with ceramic, but can last for days with titanium.) 5. Use a good hairspray that has a nice hold and once styled, don't touch it. :) Hope that helps!

    No matter what I do or hold it my hair keeps sliding off its so frustrating 😤 any tips on how to keep it from sliding?

    • @renaematt
      @renaematt Před 6 měsíci

      Without seeing you actually doing it, it's hard to say exactly what the issue might be. However, here are a few things to try that might help! 1. Take smaller sections: It may be sliding because the section you are holding is too big for the area of the wand 2. Try holding the wand at a different angle: The angle can help you maintain a firmer hold 3. Wrap the hair with tension: Then you begin to wrap, make sure you have enough tension so that it isn't too loose around the wand, but also isn't too tight to cause you to pull it off 4. Use a heat protectant product that has some grip: It might be that your hair is healthy and/or "slippery", so using a product that has some texture or grit to it can help give you more manageability when wrapping your hair (just make sure whatever product you are using has heat protectant to help protect your hair) Hope these help!!

      What is it a color corrector?

    • @renaematt
      @renaematt Před rokem

      @patriciajones6947 The purpose of a color corrector is to neutralize or conceal any distractions on your skin. The name of the one I am using is Demi O3 by Seint. O3 means it is an orange tone and it's at a level 3 depth. If you look at a general color wheel, the opposite of orange is blue, so that is why I am using an orange tone to counter against my blueish toned shadows under my eyes. (Another example would be if you have any purplish tones under the eyes or maybe purple veins showing through. If that were the case, the opposite color of purple on the color wheel is yellow, so instead of orange, I would use a yellow shade.) Does that help?

      Oh, you are too kind, thank you! If you are looking at mm sizes, I used a 1 inch wand which would be the same as the 25mm. You will get the hang of it, I promise! It just takes a little practice 😊 When shopping for wands or hair tools, just remember that the smaller the barrel, the tighter the curl. 1 inch (or 25mm) is probably the most common, but you could go larger or smaller depending on your preference!
