Throughout the year there are many things that one is thankful for, but it isn’t until the holidays that most of us really start to appreciate them. Holidays are a time where most people want to feel at their best with hairstyles, colors, and makeup. Everyone wants to impress everyone else, so who wouldn’t be thankful for styles, techniques, and products. I spent my entire life in fear of the curling iron but loving curls. Having flat as a board, stick straight hair, it’s hard to get that gorgeous curled look without one, and that is why I am thankful for learning how to use one. Creating the perfect spiral curl by wrapping the hair up the barrel is absolutely gorgeous. But when you let the curl sit before running your fingers through it to give it a loose, beachy kind of wave you are left with a beautiful style you can wear anywhere for the holidays (or any other time of year for that matter)! Miss Sarah Mathena taught me this technique and I am incredibly thankful for it this holiday. No more burning myself trying to be graceful and coordinated with the figure 6/8 in the mirror. This simple technique is one that anyone can do!
