Last year I brought you this perspective on curling hair, and I still stand by it for the most part. I do, however, want to give you a more glamourous option for the evening.

This is my modern take on an old Hollywood style: a ton of glamour, and a little rock and roll.
Lets get started!
Start off with freshly blown out hair, prepped with volumizing mousse or spray. Dry with a wide side part.

Part off your fringe area at an angle, and pull it down toward your face.

At 0 degrees (do not lift your hair up! You don't want volume in the fringe), curl your hair halfway up the hair shaft, and pin in place.

You can get a big box of these clips at Sally's for not very much at all.
Do the section behind in the same fashion.

Start on the other side, angling toward your face.

And continue around the sides...

Here, I have wrapped the hair around, and as I feed it through to be curled, I have the piece that I am feeding through on the bottom of the iron.

And I am doing the same thing on the other side. Do not feed it through on the top.
Continue curling and pinning all the way around, but curl horizontally through the back. Curl and pin until you look awesome, something like this...

Keep your hair in the pins until the hair is completely cool to the touch. Then pull out your pins, starting from the bottom. You should reveal something like this...

Now, brush through all of your curls, repeatedly. You will not ruin them if you began with clean hair.

You are trying to form the curls together, giving them one, seamless line of curl.
At the to of your hair shaft, push your hair up with your palm to form waves.
 |

Even pick up a section of hair at the top (if your hair is layered), and brush it together for more waves at the top.
The end result should be this...

We could leave it here, but a southern girl needs some volume.
Take your fingers and rake through your perfect coif. Push it up...

... and really get your hands in there.

And done! I hope you enjoy playing with this one!
Have a great day, and I'll see you on the other side.
