Hello, my beautiful friends. It'S me me here today and today, I'm here Lilia and little is a bit nervous because it's her first time filming and I'm just like you don't need to be nervous. This beautiful crowd is so nice and so operating. So it's gon na be great. The reason Lilly's here today is because she recently cut her hair short. What love that recently? This has been once now and she was telling me how she curls her hair, really well with a straightener in the visa that it's easier with a straightener. It means easier because I burned myself flat so less ferns and I minded that personally with the strength, as opposed to a curler, and I thought it would be great for Lilia to show it to you guys, because I know a lot of you guys have short Hair or even if you have medium like they are alone here, just the cruel thing you get with a straightener are a bit more different than with a four the curler. I personally haven't mastered the technique yet so I'm excited to see. How are you gon na? Do it so, let's get started, okay, ready, I'm ready lifted. Okay, my lovelies! Let'S begin, I always like to start off with brushing my hair to make sure that there aren't any knots or tangles. As you can see, my hair is cut pretty short and I have a bunch of short layers all throughout the hair. The next step is to split your hair in the back in two sections. I really like sectioning my hair, because it's a little bit more manageable for me, because I have so much hair. I'M using this flat clip to hold one part of the hair away from the other one. The next step is to section that part of the hair in to so you have a top section and you have a bottom section: we're going to start with the bottom. So I'm going to clip up the top section with a clip securely in the back just so it's out of the way, so, starting with this section here, give it a quick brush. I personally like to start from the back and go to the front, but right now I'll show you two different methods of holding your straightener when you're getting your curls, I'm taking a small section at the front of my hair to show you guys how to do The first method so you're going to hold your straightening iron, not parallel, but diagonally to the ground, wrap it around your hair and slide it down gently all the way. This gets a very loose and nice curl at a nice angle, which I really love on this next small section. I will show you the second way to hold the flat iron and that will be parallel to the ground, and you will wrap the hair more tightly and slide it down slower than you did the first one. What this does is gives it a different angle on the curl, and it should be a slightly tighter depending on your hair and how long you hold it for either way. I think the curls are beautiful, so it's totally up to you which method you like to use so going back to my normal routine I'll start at the back, and then I will continue the first method because I like it better, I like curling it more on A diagonal angle because it gives a much looser and more effortless curl, so just to show you one more time you take the iron at an angle, wrap it around and then slow it down gently and slowly until you get the curl that you want voila a Nice bouncy curl now that the bottom section is done, I'm going to go ahead and do the top section off the hair brush it out quickly and you're, going to repeat the exact same steps. I will start at the back hold my iron diagonally and gently slide. It down my hair, it's okay! If the curl doesn't come out to be perfect, you can just play around with it with your fingers and fix it up a bit when you're wrapping the hair around the flatiron. It'S important that it wraps around the exterior side of the iron, because that is what transfers the heat and gives you that bouncy curl, that's pretty much it now. You can continue doing the rest of the hair using the exact same steps. It'S also up to you where you want the curl to start. As you can see, I start mine about midway because I, like more of that effortless look and what uh I'm halfway done. I love how quick and how easy it is to curl my hair with a straightener and unlike the curling wand, I have not yet burnt myself. So that's always great news. Moving forward, I'm going to do the exact same thing on the other side of my hair. I'M going to section the top hair and clip that up in the back, starting from the back and moving towards the front, creating these lovely loose waves. I also like to clip away the section that I'm no longer working with, so it doesn't get in the way for the new section and all the pieces of my hair hair get some love. One thing I also want to mention is to pay attention to the direction that you're making the curls go in and for me personally, I like it when the hair is curled away from my face, so that's the direction that I'll stick throughout on each side of My hair, as you can see, I'm taking the section of the hair and curling it away from my face and gently sliding the straightener down my hair and, if you're, not too patient with your hair. Just like me, you know how exciting it is to get to that last piece of hair, yay and the curling part is done if you like your curls perfect, and you can leave them, as is that's totally up to you. I personally like more of an effortless. Look so I'm going to run my fingers through out my curls to loosen them up and make them look a little bit more messy and we're done never took your side, never curse your name. I keep shut tight Ginga your go guys. This is how I curl my hair with a straightener. I find it so much easier and so much faster than doing with a curling wand. Let me know if you found this tutorial helpful or if you have any other questions, and I would love to help you answer in the comments below have a great day, guys you soon, you

The Di'Amore Family: Amazing!!
Rosie Smith: So helpful! This was a quick and easy tutorial to follow I cut my hair to a similar length and just couldn't aster the curls until this video! Thankyou so much from an old subscriber who has recently re discovered you love what you've done with the channel Mimi!xxxx
Betsy Dhom: This was SO SO helpful! I have watched a bunch of videos on how to do this and still couldn’t do it on my hair. Yours was the absolute best. I did it on my hair and it looked awesome! Thank you
Natasha Gunput: I love this hair tutorial it works really well and it is quick and easy to understand. Thanks Lydia and Mimi
Kristin G: Thanks for this tutorial. After watching how fast my stylist could curl my hair, I tried this for the first time yesterday. I got it right away on my right side but was struggling on my left. Unfortunately, I hadn't seen this video yet, and it was a little more helpful to me.
Dimitra O: Absolutely stunning!! ❤ I'm going to definitely try this technique out
Veronica Lamus: Extremely helpful! I didnt know how to straighten my hair so i did and decided to curl it as well and this video is perfect!
PinayOFW: This is by far the best curling tutorial for short haired like me! Now I can stop my endless hunt for curling tutorials! Thanks for this!
Arianna A: Omg this helps so much.. I never know how to curl my hair for school thank you!
TheCeejay16: I curl my hair with a flat iron and I've been curious to see how other people do it. This video came at the perfect timing!
Ashley Elizabeth: Thank you so much. Awesome tutorial. For a very long time I wasn't able to curl my hair but now I can ❤❤

Kali Carroll: Literally the best & easiest tutorial I’ve ever seen! Love it
ToND1Ne: Nice results! But, I'd definitely use a heat protectant, to avoid frying my hair. These waves would blend nicely with the Luxy clip ins, concealing any demarcation between one's own hair, & the extensions.

Julia Hall: Liliya! Your are so pretty and this video helped me a lot! Even thought my hair is not this short, my hairdresser still does it a lot on me and I have always wanted to know how!
Barbara McFarland: This technique would work best with this length or shorter so in that aspect it's an excellent video for short hair. In fact, it wasn't until recently that I found out this length was not considered short hair. I'd always thought above the middle off the back was short, around the middle medium and waist length long, :-). So it wasn't until a hairstylist was telling mm me my short hair was really long that I'd found out from at least a hairstylist point of view that what's considered short, medium and long is different. In my particular situation I was bummed because charged me the long hair price when my hair was shoulder length. One of those things you need to make clear before you start or possibly even set up an appt.

PeachyMondays: I love it awesome job! added on my play list!
Jessica Shippee: Just did this while playing video in bathroom counter. I actually have the patience for this! I kept losing the ends from the flat iron. Looks like it is going smoothly, then blah. It falls out on the iron side. That took some practice. When I paused a second to try to grab the ends trying to slide out and pull them back towards the iron portion, I'd get the pause dents-- ugh. It tried to come out every. time. Cant figure out what my problem is. Perfect curls when it stops trying to slide out!
Dana Draper: love the look!:)

Brianna Day: is this what it looks like to have layers throughout medium hair? i recently cut my hair to the length and rn it’s just a straight cut with a feathered face frame. i’m debating on if i want layers throughout it and/or a v-shape from the sides down to the center back.
