This is the solution and you're so excited you order. It on amazon, it's super cheap. You wait at the door, it finally arrives and you can't get it to work. You can't get it to work. The ad looked so easy, but you cannot get the damn thing to work. Why i'm about to show you why today, i'm going to be showing you guys how to use a two in one twist iron, a two in one hair, curler straightener, and not completely, kill yourself with frustration tip number one. If you have hair, that is shoulder length or shorter, so a bob length hair and you want a really modern pinterest inspired wavy bob do not curl under the occipital bone. What is the occipital bone? The occipital bone is the bone that is plunging from your head right in this area. So if you take your hand, put it on your head slide it down you're, going to feel a ridge that ridge is the occipital bone. You want to take that hair from under that ridge, and you want to wave it so that it's not bone straight, but you don't want to actually create a curl if you create a curl you're going to give yourself a really unmodern shape. That is just not very sexy or in style at all right now. The way that i do that is, i just grab my iron, my twist iron and i clamp it down. I move it up. I bend it down and i move it up. So, basically, i'm creating a crimp with my actual iron. Once we've waved that entire section we can move up the head now and create curl, that's going to sit on top of that tip number two. This is the type of product that you need, smooth hair to work with. If you have very frizzy hair, kinky hair, very curly, hair you're gon na want to blow it out before working with this product. This is just not the type of iron. That'S powerful enough to kind of control, really crazy, frizzy or fuzzy hair, if you guys have been here for a while. You know that my hair air dries like this. This is literally how my hair air dries. I didn't do anything different to it other than just let it air dry. So if i go ahead with this iron with my really frizzy fuzzy shaped natural hair, it's not going to look nearly as good as if i take the time to blow it out and start with a smooth texture. If you already have a smooth texture, you're really lucky, because you can just go ahead and use this right away, but if you don't don't expect to get this type of end result unless you blow your hair up. First, tip number three is section section section: this section is so different than the other type of sectioning that i typically do in curling hair. This took me forever to figure out the type of section that you need to use in order to get a really good end result with this type of iron is a narrow, but long section. You want a narrow, horizontal, but long vertical, section kind of like the shape of the iron. You want it to be narrow and long. What that's going to do is it's going to fit into the iron properly and allow it to curl in a way, that's going to look very, very modern and not like totally outdated or just straight up, not work tip number four. What you're going to do with that narrow long section is you're going to clamp your iron into it, you're going to twist it one time and then you're going to move down just one twist is all you need at the root and then move it down, and It'S going to automatically curl if you have longer their hair than mine. This is still going to work. You don't have to keep twisting the iron. You really just need to twist it once at the root and then pull it through and the rest of the hair is going to follow that pattern. Now, if you do have a bob length, hair anything shorter than the shoulders, what i recommend doing after you twist and pull is straightening out those ends. If you have a really coily bob, it's just not gon na look modern! It'S not like today's look. So after we get that curl in place, i just grab the ends and i slowly run my iron through it and pull it down to create more of like a bend and a wave in the hair and less of like a curly curl. If you have longer hair, you can definitely leave it curlier, you don't need to straighten the ends. If you don't want to tip number six is hand position, hand position is so important here. If you are right handed, you are going to keep your iron up when you curl it, so you are going to clamp your hair in twist. It once pull it through. If you are working on your left side and you're, right-handed you're actually going to move your arm all the way up, so that your flat iron is actually upside down. This sounds confusing, but it actually makes curling a lot easier. Keep your hand upright on your right side and just turn it upside down on your left side, you're not going to start fumbling so much. This is something that a lot of people are very confused with. They just don't understand how to work around the head. If you're left-handed you're just going to reverse that, so on your left-hand side, you are going to keep the flat iron. This way, on your right hand, side you're, going to tilt your arm over tip number seven, don't be afraid to break up your curls. The way that i like to break them up is just with my finger. I finger comb it through. Don'T use a comb or a brush when you're doing this, because you're just going to get a really fuzzy end result you're going to collapse your curls, but you can use a wide tooth comb or just your fingers when you break up the curls. That'S when you get that really modern kind of lived-in vibe. That'S really really nice right now tip number eight get yourself a texture spray. A texture spray is completely different than a hairspray. A hairspray is going to give you a frozen or a harder kind of end. Result even a light holds hair spray is going to give you more of like a crunch and a hold a texture. Spray is going to give you bulk separation and a beachy kind of vibe. This is great when you're doing like boho looks modern waves. Anything that you want it to look a little lived in a little. You know almost like a bit of a waxier look and more of a bulky, look as opposed to a hairspray. If you've gotten this far, then you're gon na know that tip number. Nine is really important as well. If you have this exact twist iron at home, you're gon na want to crank the heat up. This is so not something that i ever say because i always say use as much heat as you need, but never more than that, because you don't want to wreck your hair this guy, this guy just isn't very powerful, he's a cheap iron from amazon. He works. We like him, but he's not a powerful iron, so the only way that i can get this to work on myself and all my clients is, if i go to the max heat.
