I did this style on clean hair, air dried, with no product. if it's a night out, I might spray it with an all over hold spray when done curling. BUT! It can be done anytime, to add a top layer of texture, and wave to any hot mess going on underneath!
using small sections, only on the crown, start from one side of your head and work around the back to the other side of your head. Hold the iron barrel horizontally as you wrap the hair from the scalp to the hair end, don't clamp the iron {unless you are lazzzzy, like me ;) } hold for 10 seconds. That's it!

I swear I will never, ever, Ever, EVER shake a curling iron at you
