Spiral Curls like Mariah's

spiral-curling-ironListen, I am far from being a hair expert but my spiral curling iron sure helps me fake it!  I grew up with three brothers and my mom had short hair ever since I was born.  I think she chopped it off when my third brother was born because she didn’t have time to do her hair and chase after three boys.  Needless to say, I didn’t have a lot of training or firsthand experience when it came to fixing my hair.  I always just pulled it back into a ponytail and hoped for the best.  The idea of owning a curling iron was foreign to me.  But then I discovered Mariah Carey in middle school and that was it.  I had to figure out how to duplicate her beautiful spiral curls.  I was hopeless.  I bought those cheap tube like plastic things that you are supposed to use like curlers from the drugstore and that did nothing.  I tried braiding my hair but I just looked like I had crimped hair when I took it out - definitely not what I was going for.  I even tried using my friend’s regular curling iron but I couldn’t figure out how to make it “look right.”  I didn’t know what to do.  So finally I confided to my mom about my curly hair dreams and she smiled knowingly.  She took me to get my very first professional curling iron and I haven’t looked back since.  With the spiral guide it is so easy to achieve that perfect curl.   I don’t know why anyone would use anything else to curl their hair.  I think Mariah would be proud.
