Curling your hair with a flat iron is a quick and easy way to create beautiful, bouncy curls. Here are some tips on how to do curls with a flat iron:
- Prep Your Hair
Before you begin, make sure your hair is clean and dry. Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair to prevent damage from the flat iron.
- Section Your Hair
Section your hair into small sections, starting at the bottom of your head and working your way up. Clip the sections you’re not working on out of the way.
- Heat Up Your Flat Iron
Set your flat iron to a medium-high heat. The exact temperature will depend on your hair type, so start with a lower temperature and adjust as needed.
- Start Curling
Take a small section of hair and clamp the flat iron near the roots. Twist the flat iron 180 degrees away from your face, then glide it down the length of your hair, curling the hair around the flat iron as you go. The slower you move the flat iron, the tighter the curl will be.
- Repeat
Repeat the curling process on the remaining sections of your hair, working your way up from the bottom. Be sure to alternate the direction you curl your hair, so the curls look natural and not uniform.
- Finish with Hairspray
Once you’ve curled all of your hair, finish with a light mist of hairspray to set the curls and keep them in place.
- Style Your Curls
Once your curls are set, you can style them to your liking. Use your fingers to separate the curls and create volume, or use a brush to smooth them out for a more polished look.
These are just a few tips on how to do curls with a flat iron. With a little practice and the right technique, you can create beautiful, bouncy curls that will last all day. Remember to use a heat protectant spray and to adjust the temperature of your flat iron to suit your hair type. Have fun experimenting with different styles and techniques to find the perfect curls for you!
