Hey girls,
So I just did a hair trial and it seemed good at first but kind of fell apart after a couple hours. I have shoulder length, really thick, normally fairly straight hair (minimal waving, if allowed to air dry, almost completely straight if blow dry). My hair stylist recommended that I get some soft curls put in my hair (because I wanted to wear it down, no updo). I agreed that would look nice. She spent roughly 2 hours curling my hair and pinning it up. When she first took it out of the pins, it looked REALLY good. But the curls fell out over the course of the next 2 hours. After an hour, it was gentle waves. After 2 hours, it was like GONE. Obviously, that's not going to work on my wedding day. She said if I left my hair pinned for longer than the curls would last longer but I'm kind of nervous about it.
Has anyone with thick hair tried to curl their hair? Did any of the ringlets stay in tact? I was thinking about doing another trial and leaving it in the pins longer to see if they really do stay? Is there a good hair spray that you would recommend that would help them stay?
Also, if that doesn't work, maybe just straighten it and blow it out? That seems so dull but I really want to wear it down. Any other tips or suggestions?
Thanks!
