Whenever girls ask me what I use to curl my hair, their reaction when I say "my straightener" is priceless. Yes, it's true.... the trick is to using a slim straightener instead of a bulky one. I saw some celebrities' hairstyles and HAD to figure out how they do it. I went on YouTube and looked up some videos but the main website I COMPLETELY RECOMMEND FOR ALL BEAUTY Tutorials, is www.beautylish.com.
I bought my straightener at Target for around $20 its a simple slim straightener that has a set temperature. Be sure to work with small sections of hair (1-2 inch sections) when curling.
Step-by-step How To Curl:
1. Start from the root of your hair as if you were going to straighten it and clamp down
2. Immediately rotate your straightener around 1 complete rotation so the hair wraps around the outside (trick: when curling rotate the straightener away from your face)
When working on the left side of your hair, clamp and twist your straightener to the right, when working on the right side of your hair, clamp and twist your straightener to the left.
3. When you've clamped and rotated your straightener, pull downward (the saem motion you do when straightening your hair
The best way for me to describe what this action looks like is how people make curls with scissors and ribbon when wrapping a present. Your hair needs to wrap around the straightener after it is first clamped within the heated plates in order to curl so while pulling down the hair is heating up and then twisting around the straightener causing it to curl.
It's good to curl away from your face so that way the curls look symmetrical instead of flowing in the same direction all over.
