Ok i found this advice the other day and worked great!!!!

You just "take a small section of hair and place the iron towards the root of your hair.
With your other hand, wrap the section of hair once around the iron and slowly drag the iron through your hair – similar to the way you would curl a ribbon with scissors.
After the iron is all the way pulled through your hair, use your fingers to twirl the hair into a curl.
Separate the curls with your fingers – but do NOT brush them out – and then spritz with a light mist of your favorite hairspray to set the style. "

Hope this helps!
