I used to use curling rod/iron to curl my hair until one day I had to get ready, and I couldn't find my rod. That's when i discovered that i can curl my hair using my flat iron, and that's when i found i can curl better this way and quicker! Flat iron curls are heavy volume as well, also, you can use your flat iron for beach waves, heavy waves, loose curls and blow dry waves as well! Isn't that like the best thing ever?
So here's my tutorial on how i curl my hair using flat iron. I don't use heat protection (i know i should). And if you ask me for recommendation, i'd suggest you to go for TRESemme Heat Tamer Spray or L'Oreal Elentt Heat Defence Spray.
Here's my straightener. I use Remington and I'd suggest you to use it too.
Here's what i do:
To curl your hair: Take a thin section of your hair and hold the straightener near your roots, straightener must be straight (horizontal) and slowly curl a little (less than 180 degrees) and pull, towards the ends, you must do this very slowly holding the straightener very tight. To make this clear and better to understand see the video below.
And.. enjoy!
