In order to hold curls, you will need to use alcohol-based products and skip the conditioner. There are several heat protectant products you can apply to hair to keep it from getting damaged. These will protect your hair from the damaging effects of straightening and curling irons. Hairspray can be applied before, during or after you curl your hair to give it a grittier texture and help hold your hair in place. When applying hairspray, be careful not to hold it too close to your curls.
This will make them crunchy and heavy. Instead, hold the can a distance from your head so the spray falls around your hair in a light mist. This will keep your curls in place, but also keep them touchably soft.
If you are applying hairspray before curling, give it a few minutes to set in before applying heat. A good curling iron will also be less damaging to your hair. Look for curling irons made of pure Tourmaline Ceramic , Ceramic, or Titanium , these are higher quality those that are just coated.
These materials are proven to do less damage to your hair than regular metal. Therefore, the irons will not only be a time-saver, but the reduced amount of time they are in contact with your hair will also mean less damage. Tip: For optimal curling action, set your iron to degrees. If you are curling extensions, turn the heat down to degrees.

However, curls that are too loose tend not to hold as well as tighter curls. Tighter curls, on the other hand, will loosen to give you the wavy, sexy effect you want. The curls will also be more defined and last longer. A curling iron will give you tight curls while a curling wand will give you more freedom to customize the type of curl you want.

Speaking of a proper heat setting, Potempa says digital is the way to go. If the heat is inconsistent, then the curl won't last. Prepping before you curl is also instrumental to your style lasting all day. A heavy shampoo and conditioner will weigh freshly washed hair down.
