In this easy hair tutorial, I’m going to show you how to curl and wave your hair with a flat iron or straightener. Flat irons are very versatile, and there are many different kinds of curls/waves that you can do with them. The first hairstyle for medium long hair is a glamorous wavy hairstyle. The shape of the waves/curls is based on the pattern you create with your fingers, so it’s a fun way to make your own unique wavy hairstyle. The second hairstyle uses the traditional way of curling your hair with a flat iron to create simple cute curls. The third hairstyle is a tousled mermaid hairstyle with effortless beachy waves. All of these curly and wavy hairstyles are great for work and school. The hairstyles are also perfect for special events such weddings, bridal events, Prom, Homecoming, dinner dates, birthdays, etc. I hope this video gave you new ideas to be more creative with your flat iron!

Hello, everyone here’s a fun fact for you, all. The first time I learned how to curl my hair. It was with a straightener instead of a curling iron.. I love flat irons because they’re so versatile to use, and today I’m gon na show you 3 ways to curl and wave your hair with it. The flat iron that I’m using here is the Megastar by NuMe.. It has infrared heat shown by the light strip in the center, and it goes all the way up to 450 degrees.. I tend to stayaround 360 degrees and it heats up really fast Before you use heat on your hair, remember to give it protection. I’ve already applied. My NuMe argon oil, from the middle to the ends of my hair, to smooth it out. I’ve, been using this for months and it’s, a really good leave-in hair serum. For the top of my hair, I’m using my Tresemme heat tamer spray.. Once your hair is good to go, we can get started.. This first method will give your hair some beautiful, glamorous soft waves.. I actually came up with this many years ago in one of my old tutorials, and I still use that method, today. To start you’re, going to grab a small section of hair and wrap it around 2 fingers to make a little roll. Put your hair between your Flat iron for 5 seconds to heat it up, and when you release your hair, you should have a pretty wave.. Instead of wrapping your hair in a circle around your finger, you can make a peace sign and wrap your hair in a figure eight.. This will give you looser softer waves.. You can also use your pinky and pointing finger to make a new pattern, and this will give you a unique, deep wave. Since you're, using your fingers to shape your hair. There are infinite ways to change up the waves, so get creative with your own pattern.. If your hair is short or medium, then you can use one or two fingers to make smaller waves.. On another note, your fingers will be near the straightener, so I’d highly recommend wearing gloves. If you don’t want to burn yourself. I’ve doing this for a while. So I’m more used to the coordination, and I work faster with my bare hands.. You can be really spontaneous with this method and when you’re all done, you should have effortless wavy hair for any special or casual occasions.. The second method is the traditional way of curling. Your hair with a flat iron and many people, are probably familiar with this. Begin by putting a section of hair between your flat iron. Rotate your flat iron 360 degrees in a circle and then slowly pull it outwards to get a bouncy. Curl. Continue doing this. For the rest of your hair, making sure to alternate the directions of your curls., I usually like to curl the hair around my face away from it to get that wind-blowing effect.. You can separate the curls with the fingers to make them look more relaxed and arrange them to how you’d like and you're done.. These cute curls are volumized and long-lasting and they’re perfect for date, nights and school dances.. The last method will give you a beachy wavy hairstyle.. I love that it gives off that effortless tousled mermaid look. To start put a small section of hair between your flat iron., Rotate your flat iron in a circle. Pull it down a few inches., Then flip your flat iron, the other way and pull it down a few inches as well.. Repeat these steps until you’re at the end of your section, and you should have a lovely wave.. If you want your waves to look smaller like crimps, then just shorten the distance when you pull down your flat iron. Keep doing this for all sections of your hair and don’t worry about it being neat.. Since we’re going for a tousled look, the waves will actually look better when they’re not in a particular pattern. This is such a fun way to get beautiful waves and this hairstyle perfect for the beach and summertime.. So that concludes my tutorial, and here are the 3 different curly and wavy hairstyles that I showed today. With this video. I have a giveaway for my U.S. subscribers. Since I want you to try some of these hairstyles I’m gifting, you, a NuMe, Megastar Flat Iron. In a color of your choice. To enter simply follow the rules in the description box.. If any of you would like to get this flat iron for yourself, then I have some great coupon codes for you.. You can use “GoodLuck” to get 40 % off the entire NuMe website, a free, argan oil and free shipping in the U.S. Or you can use “Clover” to get $ 100 off any NuMe set plus a free, argon oil. I’ll leave all of that information. In the description box, so you can check that out.. I had a fun time sharing these curling and waving methods with a flat iron, and I hope you all enjoyed the video. If you have any hair tutorials.

I actually prefer using the straightener to curl my hair because my only curlers are all clipless. Maybe you can create some fun ways to use a clipless curler? xD Also, I was wondering what temperature should I set my irons to with fine, thin hair? Would how oily my hair be that day affect the temperature to put it on? Thanks Thuha! I followed @numestyle on Instagram. ^^

Claire Bang: I loved this video! So helpful (esp. around prom season)! :) I loved the second hairstyle the best :)
awkwardpandasmile: My favorite hairstyle was the first one. I've never seen it done like that before and it's pretty! I'll definitely give it a try. I also like the third one because it is effortless. I don't mind which color of nume that I get. Both are fine with me:)

Luna: I absolutely loved the third one because it looked beautiful and really simple to do : ) p.s i love your hair red it looks amazing on you ^~^
spyrothetimelord: I loved the second method. I love them all, but I like how that one can either give you smooth curls or can be separated to look more relaxed.
May T.: I really enjoyed the third curling method! It gave such a beautifully messy and tousled curl!
omgphud: I've always used the second method and have been partial to using straighteners to curl my hair rather than hair curlers. Mostly cuz I had shorter hair back then and I liked waves more than curls. I like your first method because of the varying sizes of waves to get lots of texture. I wanna try it one day when I find out what happened to my straightener lol it's gone :(
Cassidy Madrigal: I absolutely adore the beachy waves. So effortless looking and simple (:
Thunderbird: This is so helpful! I've been trying to find the right curl that fits my taste. Loving this one! ♡ Love your hair color too! What dye did you use to get that pinkish redish hair?

Vanessa Bouyea: I'm already a Nu Me Instagram follower and my favorite curls were the ones you wrapped your hair around your fingers. I think it has so many variations and the curls/waves turn out effortless! I also like the explanation for the 2nd hairstyle because I could never quite figure out how much to turn the iron. Thanks so much for the time and effort you put into your videos! I always look forward to seeing what you come up with next ^^ (p.s. My favorite color is purple <3)
THJumbie: I really loved the first method because it was so versatile and simple! (:
