Pick up a small section of your hair (less than two inches wide) and seperate it from the rest of your hair. Pick up the curling iron and push down on the handle that opens the clasp. Place the hair under the clasp and then let go of the force of the handle so that the clasp will close on your hair. Roll it up to the top of your head. Wait ten seconds, spray a little hairspray on the curl, wait five more seconds, then GENTLY release the clasp by pushing on the handle, and pull the curling iron away. Voila! Now, repeat with the rest of your head.
