Why is my hair not curling with a flat iron?
“If there is still moisture in the hair when you use a curling iron, it will not curl as well, and the curls will eventually drop out,” says Huffnagle. To make sure your hair is fully dry before you curl it, blast it with cool air from your blow-dryer, then run your fingers through.

What’s the best way to curl a weave?
Comb out your weave to smooth out any snags. Hold a handful of hair firmly at the middle to provide some resistance to the comb and to protect your scalp. Comb out the ends of the hair with gentle strokes until you’ve completely detangled it. Shift your hand upward and comb out the middle section, pulling the comb to the ends.
Can you curl your hair with a blow dryer?
Wet hair won’t curl at all and damp hair won’t curl as well. Even if you have one of those magical wet-to-dry hair straighteners, it’s best if you have dry hair. Dirty hair also won’t hold its shape very well, so make sure you’ve washed it in the past 24 hours. If you’re blow-drying your hair first, use mousse.
