Are you tired of using the same curling iron over and over again? Look no further than your trusty straightener! There are many ways to use a straightener to curl your hair, and we’ve got you covered with all the tips and tricks you need.
Description
Curling your hair with a straightener is a great way to achieve a variety of looks, from loose beachy waves to tight ringlets. Not only is it a versatile tool, but it also saves time and money by eliminating the need for a separate curling iron. However, it can be intimidating to use a straightener for curls if you’ve never done it before. That’s why we’ve created this step-by-step guide to help you master the technique.
How To
The first step to curling your hair with a straightener is to prep your hair with a heat protectant spray. This will help prevent damage and keep your hair healthy. Next, section your hair and clip it up so that you can work on one section at a time. Take a small section of hair and clamp the straightener near the roots, then twist the straightener away from your face as you glide it down the length of your hair. Repeat this process on each section of hair until your entire head is curled.
