I have alot of trouble getting the curls right using a GHD & a curling wand. I have naturally curly hair underneath but wavy/unruly on top and I can't master it. I too have looked at utube and I still can't get it! I saw some of those old fashioned hair rollers today in the supermarket and thought they might be the go??? What about putting some sort of curling product in your hair prior - have you tried that?
