Curling Your Hair with a Straightening Iron

For my third blog I want to try and teach you how to curl your hair with a flat iron. I personally love doing this for many, many different reasons. For one I say it works far better than a curling iron. It also takes less time. I'm not sure if it's really easy but I found it easy after I've gotten used to it. If you don't get it I will make sure to post a video on how to do it.

What you will need...

The tools you must have to do this is a flat iron of course. People say that you need a certain kind but you don't. I prefer one from the salon but they do cost allot more money, around 100$-300$. If you don't have one from the salon that's ok too. the next thing you must have is a clip like one that can hold allot of your hair.

You will need a comb or brush. The things you could use for best results would be hairspray which you would be applying at the very end. Next I'd get bobby pins and heat protection spray then your good to go.

Ok Now we prepare. To prepare you would grab your heat protection spray and sprat it all over your hair. I like to spray it in layers so you could do that too. I don't like to spray too much though because i find that if you do the iron sticks to your hair and it doesn't slide very well through the iron so therefore your hair wont turn out. Then make sure your iron is plugged in and set on the highest heat. While you wait for that, take half of your hair and clip it at the top of your head, that way you get 2 layers of full curled hair.

Finally we can start. this may be hard to explain since I am writing and not actually showing it to you so I'm sorry if you don't get it but I will make sure to post the "how to" video. So the first step you will want to take a small strand of your hair and close the iron at the top of the strand of hair. Then twist the iron so the hair is wrapped in it. After that then you just pull it through the iron and it should turn out to be a nice curl.

Finish up the rest of your head then I like to bobby pin some of my hair down if its sticking up and that works really well. Then I would put in a little bit of hairspray to make it stay. Then you just listen to the compliments. I hope you liked my 2nd tutorial and learnt some great techniques. Then I will be back soon to teach you more.
