It varies from one curling ironto another. Newer irons usually can heat up in 2-5 minutes. Older irons might need 5-10. My suggestion to check if its hot enough is to grab a dry washcloth and clamp the iron on it for a second, then feel the washcloth. If it feels warm enough, it's probably ready to curl.

Also, to make it extra curly pull the top layer of hair in to a little ponytail and do the bottom. Then let it drop and curl the top layer. Once your all done just spay lots of hair spray(: ---------------------------------- Thats a good answer, but also you can always try different curling techniques. Different Curls, overnight curlers, spiral curling iron, maybe try a different brand of curling irons? Also it depends on what temp. you keep it at.

Just wet your hair before bed and put some curl jel in your hair. after that put your hair into buns and when you wake up you have curly hair!!!
