How do I make curls with a flat iron?
Step 1: Prepare your hair
- Brush your hair to remove any tangles.
- Apply a heat protectant spray to damp or dry hair.
Step 2: Section your hair
- Divide your hair into small sections, about 1 to 2 inches wide.
- Clip or hold the top sections out of the way.
Step 3: Clamp the hair
- Clamp the flat iron onto a section of hair near the roots, holding it vertically.
Step 4: Rotate the flat iron
- While holding the flat iron, rotate it away from your face as you glide it down the hair.
- The angle of rotation will determine the tightness of the curl.
Step 5: Repeat steps
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each section of hair, working from the bottom layers to the top.
- Alternate the direction of rotation to create a more natural-looking curl pattern.
Step 6: Set the curls
- Once all sections have been curled, gently shake your hair to soften the curls.
- Spritz with a light-hold hairspray to help hold the curls in place.
