Bridesmaids hair blow dry or just curling iron?

[krum]

I'm a beauty geek but wanted some hair advice for my wedding.
I had my hair styled recently with a curling iron and the curls dropped out pretty quickly.
I want myself and my bridesmaids to have curls for my wedding. I was thinking instead of having a hairdresser use a curling iron that we go to a blow dry bar and have it washed and dried in curls.
Will this last longer? Will it look better, deader and have more volume? What's the better option?
Thanks

If they dropped out and you really want the curls to stay in you are best having a shampoo & set (dont worry, you dont have to look like your nan!), this will hold the curl in longest x

Definitely use the right products in the hair. Just curling it will look nice but it won't last unless it's got something holding it in place and make sure the hair doesn't get damp after it's been 'set'.

Humidity is a curse!
