How to get lovely curls with straightners

Hi,


Hope your all well, i would love nothing more then to have curls at time but i was blessed with natural straight hair, and it refuses to do most things i want it to, but i know people who have used there straighteners as curlers and had brilliant results. So here are a few tips to achieve these curls.


1. Curls with Straighteners

Always have completely dry hair, as damp or wet hair will not curl as well.If you dry your hair with a hairdryer use mousse as it will give your hair volume.


Use a pair of thin flat straighteners, a flat paddle style pair won't be able to do curls as it will be harder to wrap and hold, have them on minimum heat unless your hair is course and thick.

Apply heat protection so it creates a protective film so your hair does not just frizzle, spray it over you hair and comb gently. Or run you fingers softly through your hair, if you have thick dense hair do a section at a time.


Always part your hair in to sections so you get the best results, trying to do to much in one go will not get the best results, Start off at your scalp close to your neck only work with as much as you can in one go.

Smaller sections will make smaller tighter curls, where as bigger sections will give you bigger looser curls. You can always mix the size up for a different look you don't have to stay at one size.

For a looser curl look, run your fingers through your hair and give it a tousle, it will give you a more natural, relaxed look.

If you want more hold, put a light spray of hairspray over the curls to keep them in place, you can always use a anti-humidity spray if your going to get hot through out the day or evening.

You may want to get someone to help you if you have long hair and to prevent you from burning yourself.

Curls can add a lovely look to straight hair if you just put a couple on top.

Ceramic straighteners are better for your hair as metal ones will damage your hair sharft.

If you don't feel comfortable using straighteners, then look in to buying yourself a quality pair of curlers.
