How do i curl my hair with a curling iron and get it to stay?

i have curly hair already but my curls are a big frizz ball mess.. i don't want to pay money to go get it professionally done... but i also want it to look nice.


i want to straighten it with a chi, and then curl it with a curling iron... but it never stays.. probably because i straighten it.. but if i just curl it to begin w/ w/o straightening it.. it still just looks like an ugly nasty curly mess.


im mixed also... if that information helps so i guess i have ';mixed girl'; hair.





so any advice, on types of hair products that aren't too expensive... or a certain way to do it.. that would be great.How do i curl my hair with a curling iron and get it to stay?
SCRUNCH IT!!! haha. my hair is really wavy and looks like crap when i just put it down but i scrunch and it works great, and lasts all day (even with my friends playing with it) Ok, so shower before bed and when you wake up just rinse your hair out (dont wash it again it will take longer to dry) and then towel dry it and upt a curl boosting mousse (i use herbal essencs totally twisted) and work it through your hair. then put in a little of scrunching gel and work it through your hair, then just take your hands and grab up your hair and hold it at the top of your head tight for a couple seconds and keep doing that till your happy with your results. i have sidebangs, so when i do this i either straighten them or clip them off to the side. i actually did this today and go ta ton of compliments on my hair!!! good luck i hope it works for you!How do i curl my hair with a curling iron and get it to stay?
