Back in May, my dear friend Sonja (of Sonja DiNanno Photography) took engagement photos of Riley and I. We had so much fun and I am so thankful to have had that period of our life captured forever through snapshots of precious moments. Of course, once Sonja sent us our images, I shared a few on Instagram (below are a few of the photos I’m referring to!).
Subsequently, I had comments, messages, and emails asking me how I curl my hair. I’ve been meaning to write a blog post and film a video about curling my hair since then (in May), so I decided that now that we’re in November, it’s about time.
Well friends, today’s the day. Here’s how I curl my hair: I use a Miraqueen (this post is not sponsored, by the way). It’s an awesome curling device that sucks your hair in, curls it, and spits it back out, giving you a perfect curl every time. It’s fast, it’s simple (once you get the hang of it), and the curls last until you wash your hair! Plus, I think it’s really fun. I bought my Miraqueen on Amazon last year, but it seems to be a little harder to find there now. Luckily, there are several other brands aside from Miraqueen that are making the same awesome curl-creating machines, click here for a few options. It looks like this one has the highest rating if you’re interested.
I thought about attempting to take photos for this post, but it’s just so much easier to show you through a video. In my video I’ll show you the Miraqueen, explain its settings, and then demonstrate how I curl and style my hair with it! You can watch the video below or here on YouTube.
Yes, that’s really how simple it is! As I said in my video, this process only takes me about 10 or 15 minutes, but the curls last for three days! That’s efficiency if you ask me. I love to Miraqueen my hair (is that a verb?) on Friday mornings so that it’ll be good to go for the entire weekend. The more time I can spend hanging out with Riley and Charley Bear, the better! (And the less time spent standing in the bathroom, getting ready, the better.) Happy curling! 🙂
Have you ever heard of the Miraqueen (or something similar)? Have you every tried one? Do you want to try one now? (This would be a great thing to put on your Christmas list!)

Blair! This is so amazing! Your hair is ALWAYS beautiful! Question- do you think this would work well with long hair? My hair is pretty long and I wouldn’t want to overwhelm the little compartment!
Thanks so much for your blog! I look forward to it everyday! 🙂
Oh, I definitely think it would work with long hair. My hair is long, and I’ve used it on girls with even longer hair. You may have to use smaller sections, but it would definitely work! 🙂 Thanks for reading and commenting!

Hi Blair,
You have such beautiful thick hair and it looks great with the curls. I have thinner (and shorter hair). Have you used it on friends with thinner hair and had success? Thanks!
Hey Emily! Thanks for reading! Thank you for your sweet compliment! My hair is quite fine, actually. (I just have a lot of it!) One of my friends has short, thin hair and I’ve “Miraqueened” her hair before. We spritzed it with hairspray and she looked gorgeous! 🙂

I didn’t know that this thing existed! It’s amazing! I want one now…
Isn’t it awesome? 🙂 Add it to your Christmas or birthday list! Thanks for reading.
