Which Way Should You Curl Your Hair? Toward, Away, or Alternating?

Did you know the direction you curl your hair can completely change your look? Curling toward your face, away from your face, or alternating curls each creates a different style. Once you know the difference, styling becomes much easier and a lot more fun.

Toward Your Face
Curls that turn toward your face give a soft, romantic vibe. They frame your features gently and make your hair look polished, feminine, and can even look vintage. This is perfect for dates, or any time you want a delicate, soft glam feel.

Away from Your Face
Curls that go away from your face make your hair look fuller and more voluminous. They open up your features and naturally draw attention to your face, giving you a bright, framed effect. This style is perfect when you want your hair to feel bold, lively, and show off your facial features.

Alternating Curls
If you want natural, effortless waves, try alternating curls. Curl one section toward your face and the next section away. This adds movement, dimension, and texture for that 'I woke up like this' style that is full of volume and personality.

Quick Tips
Work in small sections so heat is evenly distributed. Always use a heat protectant to keep your hair healthy. Sleek’e curling wands make it easy to experiment. They glide smoothly and give you perfect curls every time.
