Oh my dear girl, I can not thank you enough. I watch the entire video. I did what you did and actually dried my hair first w a paddle brush and I used products. And then followed the rest. And for the FIRST time in my 65 years, I successfully styled my hair. I’m in shock. First try. I really can’t thank you enough. 🌸
Our hair is a similar length- this was SO helpful! Thank you for the really detailed step-by-step. My hair has some natural curl/texture so anytime I try this, it ends up practically in ringlets and I couldn't figure out what the heck I was doing wrong.
I hate to question you, but are you sure that is a 1. 25" iron? It looks much bigger than my 1.25". And could you please tell me what heat setting you were using?
I’m 30 and have always wanted to learn how to curl my hair. After watching a bunch of other tutorials, I found yours. Let me just say, I am SO GRATEFUL you made this. I curled my hair today and it looks fantastic. You taught me the easiest method for beautiful curls. Thank you!!!!!
She's a doll! Glad I came across this video! I love to curl my hair but I always burn myself and make too tight of curls. I'm definitely gonna try her method! Minus products, I don't like to use them. My hair holds curl well enough, I think.
When I do this I sleep with it in a pineapple. On my head with a covered band... It helps not to be flat next day.... just a touch up usually works Bend down gather up hair in a top of head pony tail That way it shapes to your head and not flattened out by sleeping on it 😘
Thank you so much for your videos! You are the reason I know how to curl my hair. I have also tried many of your other tutorials and I love them all!! Thank you
Thank you! I bought the babyliss after your review and I have been waiting for this tutorial. You do such a good job and you are so clear as a teacher. I have only become more poised and articulate. Keep up the tutorials I love love watching you.
I've had long hair for years but I recently cut it to about your length. I've been freaking out because I'm still not use to my new look but I'm so so happy I found this tutorial because this is exactly how I want to style my hair everyday. Love love love it. THANKS!!!
This video is so helpful, thank you! I was only curling the ends of my hair instead of the entire length and I finally know what I've been doing wrong. You are a true pro.
I just bought a curling iron because I watched your video. The curls looks so amazing. Then I tried on my hair. It's a mess... I will keep on practicing. This is THE best video about curling hair in the whole web...
Oh my gosh I watched your video and it has helped me so much! This video really helped me curl my hair the way I wanted too. Thank you thank you thank you!
I love your tutorials! This is EXACTLY what I always shoot for but can never create, and after watching this is makes sense why! Thank you for your lovely videos! 💗
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Now my hair will never look amazing as yours (cause my hair texture) but this is the first video I’ve seen where I could figure out how to work the curling iron fast and easy. Got my whole head curled in under 10 mins! Thank you!
Where can I find what you use in your hair? The products? I’m looking for something to give my hair volume and a bit of texture since I have thin hair. Please! Thank you!
3 days! 😳 I’d be lucky to get 3 hours out of my curls. I spend hours on my makeup and 3 seconds on my flat hair 🤦🏻♀️ You’re beautiful, you look a little like Kristen Bell and I love your hair.
Thanks! This demo is perfect. I’ve always struggled with this type of hairstyle and this looks much easier than others I’ve seen. I’ll give it a go and hope it works 🤞🏻😊
I absolutely love your videos. You helped me understand my hair. My hair is very similar to yours. You helped me understand how to curl my hair and how to use the products. How to get the products to work with my hair. I can't curl my hair with a curling iron. I've tried. It's kind of awkward. But a few years ago you talked about a straightener called a GHD. I researched and read about it. I invested in one and I've loved it for the past few years I've had it. And help me to actually curl my hair. I appreciate your videos and I thank you so much. They're extremely easy to follow. Your videos helped me to gain confidence to do my hair. Because as women are here is very important. For me if my hair is done then I feel amazing. So thank you Kate, just thank you ❤️
Hi, I'm so happy I found you. I only have a flat iron will I be able to do the same thing ? If not how with a flat iron ? I'm 63 and trying to learn. thank you sweetie
I think I have the 1 1/2” and was wondering why my hair wasn’t as beachy looking like this. My barrel is too big for the length of hair I have. I have really smooth hair because I don’t color treat it and it’s so slippery and doesn’t really hold a curl. I’ll have to try this size. The 1” I have isn’t right either.
Thank you for showing us how to actually twist the curling iron. A lot of UA-camrs take it for granted that I know how to actually angle the iron, or twist it. They zoom along while I’m slowing playback and squinting, lol! Back in the day it was all about loading in from the end. But you are so clear and patient! Thank you so much!
I am challenged with getting a crimp from the, I don't know what it's called, arm pressing down as curling? Especially the first contact. I can't figure out how to prevent that from happening. If you covered that would you please say the timestamp? I wish UA-cam had a search available for the comments section perhaps it's already covered. Thank you in advance.
Love this video! But… I can’t get the curls… what am I doing wrong? Too big sections? I get a wave but no curls.. just don’t understand why I’m making it so hard. I’m copying you exactly..! Well clearly I’m not 😂but I’m trying to. Help!
I’m 47 & have had dead straight hair my entire life…I mean curls fall out In 10 mins. I have fine but thick hair. I Am premenopausal & now I have major waves. I don’t know what to do with the crown frizz or honestly, how to fix it now!! Help!!! Thanks! I love your videos ❤!
My hair is naturally curly - not super tight curls but not curls I love. Can I blow dry with a round brush and then try these curls? I’ve done it but the curls never seem to hold - any tips? I think my hair is fine but I have a lot of it (or used to, before kids)
Love your videos. Your instruction is very helpful. Can’t wait to try. I know this is off topic but I love your lipstick and blush, what are u wearing?
Kate, have you tried or seen the soft waves that can be achieved from rocking your flat iron back & forth as you glide through it? I saw a young woman do it and she gave good instructions, but I feel like you are much easier to follow. I tried doing it as she did, but it was a total fail. I really want to learn the technique because it would work with my natural texture.
Great hair tutorial! I bought a curling wand recently and I just can’t get things to look like I want them to. Have you ever used a curling wand? Do you think a curling iron, like yours, would work better? Thanks!
My hair is also very fine and uneven so unlike her tutorial where she leaves her hair down and curls, I section in 3 different sections (lower, middle, top) and I'm able to curl all the hair and uneven sections! Give it a try!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been watching it to do my hair. I love it! How was about if I have long hair now? It’s getting unmanageable. ❤
No matter how carefully I try to keep the curls after doing this method they pull completely out and back to 3/4 straight and limp. Looks like broken, dried out bird winds.
You are so cute (I'm old enough to be your mom) and a great video! Thank you. I watched one before your's and there were no smiles, downcast eyes and boring as hell. I learned what to do with your tutorial although you do use more product than I ever will - but that's okay! All good information!
Is your hair cut in layers or is it all one length? I am having trouble curling my hair and I think it is bc I have layers. It will curl somewhat, but just doesn't lay pretty...too poofy...if that makes sense.
Hello any tips for very fine haired women whose hair will maybe last one day? There are lots of women who aren't lucky enough to have been blessed with texture as myself and hair won't hold a curl.
You are so stinkin’ adorable! I love how “real” you are! Thank you for all the great videos and yes I agree with the others... pleeeeease show us 2nd (or even 3rd!) day what to do! Thank you!
I have been trying to do this to my hair but couldn't figure it out. You're the first video that came up when I searched it, and I got lucky!! You make it look super easy and I can't wait to try this!
I am a new subscriber and new to using a curling iron. Your videos are SO helpful. I love how you explain everything in a succinct manner yet very charming! Do you have an absolute "Beginner" video? I wonder why some people use the barrel pointed down method and some people use the barrel pointed up? Does that change the curl somehow, or is it simply personall preference? Also wondering why some people section three horizontal layers but you just work in vertical layers? Does that make a difference in the curl pattern or is that personal preference also? If you (or anyone) could answer that would be a big help! Thanks so much!
Ally Katt I think the barrel pointed down is more for when you’re using a curling wand because of the way you wrap the hair around with your other hand
Great tutorial! I’m a cosmetology student and some of our instructors frown upon the new ways of curling hair. The way we’re taught makes a full curl...like for a wedding/prom look. While that’s great, more clients are leaning towards looser more casual, beach-like waves. Your video was easy to understand and duplicate. Can’t wait to try this next week! 💇🏻♀️👏🏻
Hi! How do you wear your hair while sleeping in order to hold your curl and prevent your hair from becoming a bird’s nest?? I look insane a lot of the time or my curls get crushed.
To keep those curls going in to tomorrow, try a loosely gathered ponytail on the top of your head with a really soft squishy elastic like a scrungee... this prevents breakage. If you dye your hair and it’s delicate or brittle, sleep on a silk / satin pillowcase. This helps minimise breakage around the face area. It also helps keep the curls going. Good luck!
My hair is always frizzy when I do loose waves. I use the Bellami hair flat iron/wand. I love love love waves but why does my hair come out like Cotten candy. Any suggestions 🤦♀️😊
Oh my dear girl, I can not thank you enough. I watch the entire video. I did what you did and actually dried my hair first w a paddle brush and I used products. And then followed the rest. And for the FIRST time in my 65 years, I successfully styled my hair. I’m in shock. First try. I really can’t thank you enough. 🌸
I love this tutorial. Your hair is gorgeous. Great job!
Our hair is a similar length- this was SO helpful! Thank you for the really detailed step-by-step. My hair has some natural curl/texture so anytime I try this, it ends up practically in ringlets and I couldn't figure out what the heck I was doing wrong.
wow girl that is just some talent I tried it the way you did and just failed😭it made bents in my hair which is just awesome mhm
You are starting the curling iron the wrong way turn it around
It definitely takes practice!
Same.
I hate to question you, but are you sure that is a 1. 25" iron? It looks much bigger than my 1.25". And could you please tell me what heat setting you were using?
Your hair looks so smooth and shiny do you put products in it after showering?
How do you color your hair? I love the contrast when you curl!
Such a good video. You are great at explaining each step. Thank you!
I’m 30 and have always wanted to learn how to curl my hair. After watching a bunch of other tutorials, I found yours. Let me just say, I am SO GRATEFUL you made this. I curled my hair today and it looks fantastic. You taught me the easiest method for beautiful curls. Thank you!!!!!
Man, you make this look so easy, lol. I can never do the back of my head :(
Same:(
Me either! 😩
Thank you so much. I know it seems silly, but I really didn't know how to do my hair until I started watching your videos.
Liz R ii
Same! 😂
Me too ! And I've learned so much about hair and make up that I didn't understand before ! Love Kate !
She's a doll! Glad I came across this video! I love to curl my hair but I always burn myself and make too tight of curls. I'm definitely gonna try her method! Minus products, I don't like to use them. My hair holds curl well enough, I think.
Same. Thanks for your videos
How do you sleep with your hair like this??
I would love to see the follow-up next day! What does it look like after you sleep on it and what do you have to do to re-style the curls?
Yes to this!!! Would love also a second-day how to
Yes!! I try to do this, but the next day my hair is so flat against my head despite adding dry shampoo to add volume and reshape. 🤷🏻♀️
yes please
When I do this I sleep with it in a pineapple. On my head with a covered band... It helps not to be flat next day.... just a touch up usually works
Bend down gather up hair in a top of head pony tail
That way it shapes to your head and not flattened out by sleeping on it 😘
Yes!! 2nd & 3rd day please!! Would love to learn!
Thank you so much for your videos! You are the reason I know how to curl my hair. I have also tried many of your other tutorials and I love them all!! Thank you
Thank you! I bought the babyliss after your review and I have been waiting for this tutorial. You do such a good job and you are so clear as a teacher. I have only become more poised and articulate. Keep up the tutorials I love love watching you.
I love this video. You’re a great teacher. Can’t wait try the tips. Thanks for sharing.
such an effortless look takes MUCH effort lol
I've had long hair for years but I recently cut it to about your length. I've been freaking out because I'm still not use to my new look but I'm so so happy I found this tutorial because this is exactly how I want to style my hair everyday. Love love love it. THANKS!!!
This video is so helpful, thank you! I was only curling the ends of my hair instead of the entire length and I finally know what I've been doing wrong. You are a true pro.
Loved the video! Would love a side by side photo of right after and 20 minutes after it's had time to relax :)
I just bought a curling iron because I watched your video. The curls looks so amazing. Then I tried on my hair. It's a mess... I will keep on practicing. This is THE best video about curling hair in the whole web...
Just found your wonderful tutorial. I often get bored watching these but not this one. Thank you so much!
What size curling iron? Going between the 1 to 1 1/4. Want loose beachy waves my hair is about your length.
I'd love to see day 2 styling. How do you use texture spray?
That first curl scared me you were like a milimeter away from your face with that iron gurl. Great job though.
Oh my gosh I watched your video and it has helped me so much! This video really helped me curl my hair the way I wanted too.
Thank you thank you thank you!
3 days?! 😳 My hair will hardly hold curls for 3 minutes! LOL
It looks so nice though! 🙂
I love your tutorials! This is EXACTLY what I always shoot for but can never create, and after watching this is makes sense why! Thank you for your lovely videos! 💗
I love how detailed you are.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Now my hair will never look amazing as yours (cause my hair texture) but this is the first video I’ve seen where I could figure out how to work the curling iron fast and easy. Got my whole head curled in under 10 mins! Thank you!
Where can I find what you use in your hair? The products? I’m looking for something to give my hair volume and a bit of texture since I have thin hair. Please! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video - on my first try my curls are already much improved over what I’d previously been doing!
You make this look so effortless. Looks great ♡
3 days! 😳 I’d be lucky to get 3 hours out of my curls. I spend hours on my makeup and 3 seconds on my flat hair 🤦🏻♀️ You’re beautiful, you look a little like Kristen Bell and I love your hair.
So the trick is to lift the clamp whenever you twist? Well one of the tricks anyway
Thanks! This demo is perfect. I’ve always struggled with this type of hairstyle and this looks much easier than others I’ve seen. I’ll give it a go and hope it works 🤞🏻😊
Just saw my first video by you. You speak very nice. Does that even make sense? LOL Now I'm going to go do my hair! Thanks for the great tutorial.
I absolutely love your videos. You helped me understand my hair. My hair is very similar to yours. You helped me understand how to curl my hair and how to use the products.

So thank you Kate, just thank you ❤️
Ellen Stetter I can't use a curling iron either I got rid of mine I'm going to try a curling wand or my new hair straightener.
Thanks for the video. I need help with curls. I need to figure out what to do to not get the line on my hair from the clip! So frustrating!
Yes, please show 2nd and 3rd day and maybe a pony or half up for one of them. Love you, been watching your hair tutorials for years! 🤗
Hi, I'm so happy I found you. I only have a flat iron will I be able to do the same thing ? If not how with a flat iron ? I'm 63 and trying to learn.
thank you sweetie
Love watching your hair tutorials! I’ve been styling mine with my 1” flat iron since I have a shorter cut but love it.
I've never been able to do curls with my flat iron! Only can get 1 piece to curl, but then the rest look like crap!
@@keileabrooke same here.
I think I have the 1 1/2” and was wondering why my hair wasn’t as beachy looking like this. My barrel is too big for the length of hair I have. I have really smooth hair because I don’t color treat it and it’s so slippery and doesn’t really hold a curl. I’ll have to try this size. The 1” I have isn’t right either.
Any tips on sleeping on curls so you can restyle them the next day easily?!
Lyndsey Randolph I pull my hair up gently in soft scrunchy, or you can try sleeping on a silky pillow case 😉
Hi, your hair color is very beautiful. Can you tell me if your blond color is a balayage with darker lowlights? Thank you
Girls with wavy, unruly hair at the beginning of the video: DON'T YOU DARE
Thank you for showing us how to actually twist the curling iron. A lot of UA-camrs take it for granted that I know how to actually angle the iron, or twist it. They zoom along while I’m slowing playback and squinting, lol! Back in the day it was all about loading in from the end. But you are so clear and patient! Thank you so much!
I think this is what I’m missing. How do you twist it?
This right here!
I am challenged with getting a crimp from the, I don't know what it's called, arm pressing down as curling? Especially the first contact. I can't figure out how to prevent that from happening. If you covered that would you please say the timestamp? I wish UA-cam had a search available for the comments section perhaps it's already covered. Thank you in advance.

Did you straighten your hair first before curling? Or is your hair naturally that straight?!
I’m 47 & have had dead straight hair my entire life…I mean curls fall out In 10 mins. I have fine but thick hair. I Am premenopausal & now I have major waves. I don’t know what to do with the crown frizz or honestly, how to fix it now!! Help!!! Thanks! I love your videos ❤!

Great hair tutorial! I bought a curling wand recently and I just can’t get things to look like I want them to. Have you ever used a curling wand? Do you think a curling iron, like yours, would work better? Thanks!
Your hair is in LOVELY condition. My hair is fine, DRY and uneven, so I can’t get lovely even curls like on your hair texture here.
My hair is also very fine and uneven so unlike her tutorial where she leaves her hair down and curls, I section in 3 different sections (lower, middle, top) and I'm able to curl all the hair and uneven sections! Give it a try!
I wish I had your ability, you make it look so easy but my hair is so easily turned into frizzz
I’ve been doing it wrong all this time! Was curling from the bottom and wondering why the curl would only stay on the ends! Gonna try this! Thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this video. I have been watching it to do my hair. I love it! How was about if I have long hair now? It’s getting unmanageable. ❤
What products did you use again? I couldn't see them from your video. Thank you so much for the tutorial!
No matter how carefully I try to keep the curls after doing this method they pull completely out and back to 3/4 straight and limp. Looks like broken, dried out bird winds.

Hello any tips for very fine haired women whose hair will maybe last one day? There are lots of women who aren't lucky enough to have been blessed with texture as myself and hair won't hold a curl.
I love this beach look.. my hair is curly and I blow dry it out,will this work for me and what products should I use from start to finish? Thx 😊
Great video- nice job at explaining each step. Amazing hair too!
I have tried this one and the one that’s a lot like this but in your bathroom a million times and I cannot do this!!! 🤦🏻♀️Lol. Not even close
I kept asking my self is she Amy Adams and why was Amy giving hair styling tutorials on UA-cam she can be her twin
You are so stinkin’ adorable! I love how “real” you are! Thank you for all the great videos and yes I agree with the others... pleeeeease show us 2nd (or even 3rd!) day what to do! Thank you!
I would like to find the products you use to do the beach waves. I can’t find them. Sorry 😞
Look so easy., but I'm having a hard time curling my hair. LOL
Thank you for explaining everything you’re doing, including the size of the barrel and specific details about your process. This helps so much!
Très bien expliqué ….ça me semble plus facile maintenant que je comprends vos explications.
What products did you use to prep your hair? My curls never stay in.
I have been trying to do this to my hair but couldn't figure it out. You're the first video that came up when I searched it, and I got lucky!! You make it look super easy and I can't wait to try this!
😳 my face when she did the first curl
Beautiful! Speaking of sleeping on it, do you just leave it loose at night? Thanks
I am a new subscriber and new to using a curling iron. Your videos are SO helpful. I love how you explain everything in a succinct manner yet very charming! Do you have an absolute "Beginner" video?

Ally Katt I think the barrel pointed down is more for when you’re using a curling wand because of the way you wrap the hair around with your other hand
I have to watch this over and over! Just love it! Thank you!
I have naturally curly hair but i like styles like this. Can i do this with a wand? I have the hot tools curl bar
I have unruly hair so I first need to blow dry, flat iron my hair before I can do lose soft waves 😢
Great tutorial! I’m a cosmetology student and some of our instructors frown upon the new ways of curling hair. The way we’re taught makes a full curl...like for a wedding/prom look. While that’s great, more clients are leaning towards looser more casual, beach-like waves. Your video was easy to understand and duplicate. Can’t wait to try this next week! 💇🏻♀️👏🏻
I would love curly hair
Could You make a video on color? I love the way You color your hair. My hair Is dark brown and i want to do something like You but with my color .
Aide me too!!
Hi! How do you wear your hair while sleeping in order to hold your curl and prevent your hair from becoming a bird’s nest?? I look insane a lot of the time or my curls get crushed.

You are seriously the best teacher! Thanks for all the practical tips!
What temp do you have your curling iron set on?
Did you curl your hair all in the same direction? (away from your face)
Is the teasing for volume? if one has thick hair, do they have to tease them. thanks
You are adorable. Thank you for the lesson 😊
Where can I find out what size and type of curling iron that is?
3 days??? my curls barely hold for me than an hour :( . even with hairspray or other product...
Mine too Anna.......they drop out of my hair in about 30 minutes NOT 3 days - lol.
My hair is always frizzy when I do loose waves. I use the Bellami hair flat iron/wand. I love love love waves but why does my hair come out like Cotten candy. Any suggestions 🤦♀️😊
Kylie Carpenter that's static!!
Thank you for all your beautiful tutorials sweetness.. Thanks to you I can have the “look” so thank you!! Your the best 💖🥰💐😍
Your hair is so pretty! 😍
Are you opening the tongs as you twist the barrel round ???
Awesome tutorial! Why have I never thought of starting the iron at the top where I want the curl??! 🤦🏻♀️
What temperature do you use on your curling iron?
Your method is the best, simply explained and works!
Great video, no fluff like many other ones, so every second of it was helpful and valuable. Thank you!!
