Spotted: Serena's Textured Curls

I couldn't help but fall in love with Serena's (Blake Lively) curly mane for The Studio 54 party on last night's episode of Gossip Girl.

This style is done with one of my all time favourite tools, The Bombshell Rod Iron by Sultra.  For this look be sure to use the 3/4 inch wand for a defined curl.

• Start with wet hair and comb through a dime size drop of volumizing mousse.
• Take a large round brush and blow dry your hair for lots of volume.Part your hair into four sections. Mist hair with a shaping spray before curling. Start at the back taking small pieces (from 1/2 " to 1") and wrapping them around the iron. You don't want every piece to be the same width. Keep the hair around the barrel for about 10 seconds. Then slowly release letting the hair cool off. Continue with the back working towards the front. 
• When you're finished with all the sections, use a very small bit of texturizing cream  and lightly run your fingers through to break up the curl a bit. 
• Finish off with a finishing spray.

Here's a shot of a similar style I used for a Beauty Shoot featured in Sessions Magazine (the curls are a little looser from using the 1" rod).

Please note: Be sure to use the glove provided so you don't burn yourself. These irons are so amazing because they get extremely hot. If not careful you can seriously burn yourself. Trust me, from personal experience...wear the glove!
