Curling hair with a flat iron

[daer0n]

i did a search on this but i didnt find anything, so if this is a dupe feel free to close it /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I tried this the other day and it worked!! i loved the curls that i got with my flat iron, after watching this video i learned how to do it, so i thought i would share, for the people who dont know how to do it, i am sure there might be some that already know /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> but for all those who dont here it is /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

It's a great technique, I wish somebody here did a tut. LVA posted her pics here with the same video.

thanks ive always wondered how to do that, just wish the video was a bit clearer, i cant see exactly what she does. does she twist the hair around it twice and then just pull down?

 

[daer0n]

Yep, that is what she does /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

I tried it and it didn't work for me! I need to practice, and my hair's not long enough

you get a more rock star look if you coil the hair and stick it in the straightener, it's more messy and edgy. (according to my makeup artist friend, LOL)

I have been wondering how to do that forever! thanks so much!

 

[malina]

Holy cow, it's like magic!! LOL. I've always wondered if I could curl my hair with my straightener but never attempted it.

i don't have a flat iron, but i would definitely try this. /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

My hairstylist showed me how to do this. It's all about turning the iron in your hand, and getting that right angle when you first start at the roots. I like this technique much better. Instead of my hair being poker straight, I can adjust the techniques, and get amazing body, and a bit of flip at the end. (I have naturally curly hair, but I like to wear it straight from time to time, and giving it some movement and body looks much better on me! I am going to try this curling technique also. Hopefully it will give me a nice, smooth looking curl!)

If you watch the video on youtube it is very clear and there is another version. I don't think my hair is long enough but I am going to try this.

I remember the tutorial LVA did, and she had the most amazing CHI curls, they were gorgeous.

 

[prettypretty]

i really have to try this first thing in the morning lol

I always do my hair like that and it stays curly all day and even the next day.

The video won't play... but anyways, I tried curling my hair with my flat iron and it had kinks in it. I'm guessing I'm doing it wrong.
