How to
Tong Hair
Prepare Your Tools:
- Gather a curling tong, heat protectant spray, sectioning clips, and a comb.
Prep Your Hair:
- Start with clean, dry hair.

Section Your Hair:

Start Curling:
- Take a small section of hair and hold the tong near the roots.
- Wrap the hair around the tong, keeping the ends out.
- Hold for a few seconds (time depends on your hair type) and release.
Repeat the Process:
- Work through each section, curling consistently in the same direction.
- Ensure even distribution of curls for a polished look.
Cool Down:
- Let the curls cool before styling further.
- Avoid touching or combing through the curls immediately.
Set the Style:
- Optionally, use hairspray or styling product to set the curls.
- Run fingers through the curls for a more natural appearance.
Finish Up:

- Style as desired, whether leaving it down or creating an updo.
Maintenance Tips:
- Avoid excessive heat styling to maintain hair health.
- Use deep conditioning treatments regularly to keep your hair nourished.
