Why do my curls fall out too quickly after using the hair curler?

Modified on Tue, 25 Aug at 8:02 AM

If curls drop out quickly, the hair may be too large a section, not heated long enough, or not cool enough before you release it. Try a more careful styling approach before assuming the appliance is faulty.

Adjust your styling method

  1. Use smaller sections of hair so the heat can reach through evenly.
  2. Hold the hair in place for a little longer if the supplied instructions allow it.
  3. Let each curl cool fully in your hand or with a clip before touching it.

Expected result: curls should keep their shape longer when they are formed in smaller sections and allowed to cool.

Check the heat level and hair preparation

  1. Use a higher heat setting only if your hair type and the product instructions allow it.
  2. Make sure hair is dry and free from heavy conditioner, oil or styling cream.
  3. Avoid brushing through the curls immediately after styling.

Expected result: better heat transfer and less moisture or product should improve curl hold.

When to stop using it

Stop using the hair curler if it overheats, burns the hair, smells electrical, or becomes unsafe to hold. Do not increase heat beyond what the product instructions recommend. If the issue remains unresolved or safe use is uncertain, contact the retailer or store where the product was purchased.
