HORRIBLE with a curling iron! Help me?

For my boyfriends birthday we are going to see Phantom of the Opera.. I have my dress and accessories picked out, but I want to do my hair half up, half down with loose, defined curls... The only problem is I cant use a curling iron to save my life and my hair is so thick and long (like 4 inches past shoulders) I can never get it to hold! Any experts out there?

Wow trust me i had this problem too!

There are many ways to go about this.

One solution is using rollers. Wash your hair, blow dry it, then make about one inch sections around your head and put in the rollers. After you've put all of them in, put hairspray all around. Leave them in for a few hours, try even using a blowdryer to let the heat set in the curls. After a few hours, take them out and there you go :D add hair spray and thats it

Another step is to wash hair, make sections, twist all of the individual sections up and then use a bobby pin to hold them onto your scalp. you may use a blow dryer to dry them out. Then use hair spray and let them down.

you can do it and it is not that hard. Take a section of your hair making sure it is not too thick. Spray it with hairspray and till its semi saturated...not too sticky. take your hair and wrap it around the curling iron yourself instead of using the iron to wrap your hair. Hold it for 15 seconds and repeat. Make sure it is not on a high setting as you dont want to burn your hair.
