How to Score Sarah Jessica Parker's Signature Curls

Sarah Jessica Parker's curls can be created with a spiral curling iron.

For years, I have lusted after Sarah Jessica Parker’s gorgeous mane of wild, natural curls. She always looks so pretty and feminine! Unfortunately, I was cursed (or blessed, I suppose, depending on whose opinion you ask…) with hair that is stubbornly stick-straight. Occasionally, I would experiment with hot rollers, but they only gave me loose waves, not the tight curls that are reminiscent of SJP. And then I learned about spiral curling irons. Ta-da! Beautiful Sarah Jessica Parker curls are mine at last! Unlike hot rollers or regular curling irons, spiral curling irons are specially designed to help you create tight ringlets that call to mind Ms. Parker’s signature hair look. I’ve found that if you divide your hair into really small sections and hold the spiral curling iron vertically before you wrap your hair around the barrel, it’s even easier to create those perfect curly tendrils. If you have hair that’s shoulder length or shorter, it’s pretty easy to imitate SJP’s hairstyle, as shown in this picture: Just part hair that has been completely dried down the middle, add a heat protectant serum if you’re so inclined, and go to work with your spiral curling iron, taking care of one small section at a time. When it’s done, set with hairspray. It looks amazing! You’ll be channeling Carrie Bradshaw in no time.
