There are two ways to use your Hair Iron as a curling iron. We suggest trying both and then deciding which works best for you and gives the results you want.
1st method
Just as you would with a curling iron, taking sections of your hair one at a time start at the end of the section, curl hair up towards the scalp, hold for about 5 seconds and then gently release the hair.
2nd Method
Again, taking sections, this time starting at the root, gently clamp hair and twist the iron around completely until all of the hair has gone between the plates OR twist the iron and pull it down towards the ends of your hair. This method is a little trickier at first but with practice it becomes a quick and easy way to curl your hair with your flat iron. Think of it like curling a ribbon with scissors, the faster you go the looser the curl, the slower the tighter.

Undulations retro
It is imperative to straighten hair iron to eliminate frizz, then polish with a cream such as Cream Fekkai Glossing. Part hair into large strands and create large loops (round brush or iron). Laquez and especially do not touch most of the evening!
Afro false
For this look very romantic, you must weave thin mats on the entire head, then make a phone flat iron on each one, to emphasize the curls. Then you undo the braids, apply a spray volumizing, then pancake on the temples.

Short sexy
“Form loops with fingers or with large curlers. Attach them to the skull with pins. Laquez thoroughly, then remove pins and brush gently, without breaking the loop . Backcomb lightly on top of the skull to get this pretty volume . ”

Meanwhile, Kate Bosworth hit up an event at L.A.’s Chateau Marmont looking gorgeous in some swoopy ends-waves of her own.
And at a party at Soho House in West Hollywood, Jessica Alba wore a slightly more relaxed/straighter take on ends-waves–more of an ends-flip, if you will.
Start curling
To create soft waves:
- Start with your curling iron on medium heat and adjust accordingly.
- Divide your hair into sections, starting in the back.
- Spray each section with a light-hold, “working” hair spray.
- Hold your curling iron vertically and wrap the section of hair around the barrel, “like a ribbon around a stick or a candy cane,” Shorter says. (Using this method, you never actually open the clamp of the curling iron.)
- Hold for a few seconds and release.
- Follow with a light finishing hair spray to help hold waves.
- If you started with some natural wave, use a curling iron to smooth out frizzy sections or to enhance individual pieces of hair that need a bit more wave.
To create big, bouncy curls:
- Start with your curling iron on medium heat and adjust accordingly.
- Divide your hair into sections, starting in the back.
- Spray each section with a light-hold hair spray that you can comb through.
- Open the clamp of the curling iron and roll the hair all the way up, on top of itself, as you would a hot roller. This method produces big, voluminous curls rather than corkscrews or waves.
- Hold for a few seconds and release.
- Follow with a light finishing hair spray to help hold curls.
Whichever style you choose, using a curling iron can give you a soft, sexy, romantic look.
