I finally figured out a way! So I curl it with the iron, which by the way totally matters how you do it, so that you get the curl you want, there are so many ways and irons. So i curl it then i pin up the curl or put it in a plastic curler while i do the rest so that they stay curled, and i also spray hairspray while it's curled. Today they lasted all day
I also put the heat protector and leave in conditioner, it works great!
