What brand of curling iron do you use? If it's a brand you can buy in a drugstore, it may not be getting hot enough. I have found out that the brands like the ceramic Chi or Hot Tools get hot enough and really holds a curl.
Last x-mas one of those vendor carts were doing hair demos using Jose Eber brand curling and flat irons. I reluctantly let the girl curl my hair thinking, oh this isn't going to hold.

(My hair is thick & when I curl my hair I would use hairspray on it while it was still wrapped around the iron.) She did 3 perfect Shirley Temple curls and I didn't have any styling product in my hair. I pulled my fingers through it and it didn't fall. I running my fingers through my hair and it stayed curly. Needless to say, I bought the flat iron and curling iron. Later I bought a smaller iron off of Ebay for cheaper. The flat iron is tons better than the one I had from Walgreens and it has a temp dial that goes up to 400 degrees. One of my co-workers uses a Chi flat iron and she hascurly hair. When she irons her hair it is stick-straight and looks gorgeous!
Good luck.
