Do you want to achieve wavy, curly hair without using a curling iron? Well, you're in luck! You can curl your hair with a flat iron straightener. Not only does this save money on buying a separate curling iron, but it also saves space in your hair tool collection. In this blog post, we'll show you how to curl your hair with a flat iron straightener. Let's get started!
How To
Before we begin, make sure to prep your hair with a heat protectant spray. This will prevent your hair from getting damaged by the heat of the flat iron straightener. Once you have prepped your hair, follow these steps to curl your hair with a flat iron straightener:
Step 1: Section Your Hair
Separate your hair into sections. The number of sections will depend on the thickness and length of your hair. If you have thick hair, you may want to separate your hair into more sections. If you have thin hair, you may want to separate your hair into fewer sections.
Step 2: Clamp and Twist
Take a small section of hair and clamp the flat iron straightener at the root. Twist the straightener away from your face, making sure to keep the hair taut. Slowly glide the straightener down to the end of the hair. The slower you go, the more defined the curl will be.
Step 3: Repeat
Repeat step 2 on the remaining sections of your hair. Make sure to curl the hair away from your face for a more natural look.
Step 4: Finish with Hairspray
Once you have curled all of your hair, finish with a light hold hairspray. This will help to hold the curls in place and prevent them from falling flat throughout the day.
Tips
Here are some additional tips to keep in mind when curling your hair with a flat iron straightener:
- For tighter curls, use a smaller section of hair.
- For looser waves, use a larger section of hair.
- Experiment with the direction of the curls to see what looks best on you.
- Don't forget to use a heat protectant spray before curling.
- Practice makes perfect! Don't get discouraged if your first attempt doesn't turn out perfectly.
