So, You’ve Over-Curled Your Hair — Now What?

It happens to the best of us. You wanted loose, beachy waves, but you've ended up with tight, over-curled ringlets. The good news is that you don't have to start your style over. The bad news? You're going to have to spend a few extra minutes making amends.

Luckily, according to celebrity hairstylist David Lopez, the damage control is super simple. He says to take a blow-dryer like T3's Cura Luxe Hair Dryer ($285; dermstore.com) and a paddle brush like Conair's Velvet Touch Large Paddle Brush ($5; target.com), and use the tools to brush out the ends of your curls to loosen them up. Make sure the dryer is on low speed and heat when you're using it.
