Transform that tumbleweed 'do into bouncy, beautiful Botticelli curls. In this video, learn how to blow dry your curly curls to create sexy, bouncy curls.

You Will Need:

• A towel

• Protective heat serum

• A wide-tooth comb

• Styling gel

• Styling cream

• And a blow-dryer with a diffuser



Step 1: Blot hair dry

Gently blot your hair dry on a towel. Never rub it back and forth—this will destroy the curl and set you on the path to frizz.



Step 2: Apply serum

Apply a little heat-protective serum to your hair, concentrating on the ends.



Step 3: Apply styling gel

Apply a bit of styling gel to the roots of your hair and work a little styling cream from the middle of the strands to the ends with a wide-tooth comb.



Step 4: Create locks

Taking a few locks of hair at once, twist small sections from the root to the end, creating a series of smooth, twirled locks. Let them fall naturally.



Step 5: Attach diffuser

Attach the diffuser to your blow-dryer and turn it on at a medium heat and a low speed.



Step 6: Dry in sections

Tilt your head and gently lift a section of hair against the diffuser. When it is nearly dry, move on to another section.



Step 7: Dry hair upside down

If you want a little extra volume, bend over and dry your hair upside down for a moment, gently massaging your scalp in small circles.



Step 8: Check out those curls

Stand up, flip your hair back, and check out your tousled tresses. You can look, but don't touch!

Trivia: Your hair grows faster in warm weather.
