1. Use a 1.5 inch curling iron with the clamp removed to curl 2 inch sections (I love the T3 Twirl).

2. Wrap a section around the wand. Careful not to burn your hand or ear as there is no clamp. BTW, clamp = prom hair = not sexy.

3. Keep the very end of your hair uncurled.

4. Hold for 30 seconds, remove iron and spray with a flexible-hold hairspray.

5. Repeat.

6. Start with the bottom of hair and work up to top layers.

7. Once finished, spray all over.

8. After your hair has set (give it 10 minutes), rake your fingers through lightly to further eliminate the prom factor.

9. Finish with gloss spray. I enjoy Bed Head Headrush Shine Spray.

10. Pity anyone with the misfortune of standing next to your hot self at a party.
