I think this is a cool iron and makes nice curls
Thats the curling wand that i use! its AMAZING. My hair wont curl with a regular iron, but with this, it works wonders. Its well worth the money!!My daughter was mini 1 last year so we always had early report times so I swore by curlformers, but I also got a curling rod from a kiosk at our local mall that produced awesome curls that I used occasionally that gave me great results, www.loveamika.com is the site that sells them, the curls hold for up to 48 hours.
Target has those spiral curling irons as well as the wand curling irons :)Does anyone know where I can find this curling iron?
Someone PLEASE make vieo tutorial how to make curls like these!! I don't understand a half words you're saying in this theard :oops:

Dear fierce cheer gods,
If you make my hair come out like this for competition I promise I will never whine when coach tells us to do the routine full out.
Amen
I've been the go to mom for hair instruction/styling on my CP's teams (which got the best of me at one competition when I did 4 girls hair in one morning). My CP has super thick, super straight, HEAVY hair, and for us, hot rollers are the only way to go. She used to do pageants, and we learned a lot from that. Here are the steps that I follow:
1. Wash hair the night before, using clarifying shampoo and NO conditioner. Towel dry hair & apply a super hold gel. We use the Suave level 10 gel. I do not re-wash her hair for the 2nd day of a 2-day competition. We affectionately call this "Day 2 Hair."
2. Pull hair up into whatever style for the competition the next day (half up/half down, ponytail, etc.) and use lots of hairspray. I prefer, as someone mentioned above, Freeze-It brand. It's in a gold can, and I can find it at Walmart or Walgreens by us.
3. I go over my CP's hair with a hairdryer, while it's styled, to set the style and hairspray and to dry her hair before bed.
4. In the morning, I smooth down any fly-aways and re-spray with hairspray and put in her bow BEFORE curling. I use the Remington Ionic hot rollers, and I make sure to leave them plugged in to heat up for at least 30 minutes before use to get them very hot.
5. Taking small sections of hair, I spray each section with Redkin Hotsets setting spray (Redkin #22) right before rolling. This not only smooths the curl but it sets it better with the product on it. I do this for all of her hair, using all the rollers, smallest on the top, biggest on the bottom. After all the rollers are in, I spray over the whole thing with hairspray.
6. I leave the rollers in for at least 45 minutes (during this time we get dressed, eat breakfast, apply make-up, etc.). Starting at the bottom, I take out the rollers. After I unroll each, I split the curl into 2-3 smaller individual pieces of hair, re-spiral each around my finger, release it, and spray it with hairspray. It's time-consuming until you get the hang of it, but now I can fly through it.
7. After all hair is unrolled, I go over the whole head of hair one more time with more hairspray so that my CP's hair is hurricane proof, LOL.
I've received tons of compliments on my CP's and others' hair for cheer and pageants, so despite the fact that this is probably a longer process, it seems to work. I've attached before and after pictures of my CP's hair so you can see the end results.
