Curling your hair with a straightener can be so overwhelming. Doing all the twisting usually leaves me with awkward results. I love that this approach is SO much easier. It's great for long or short hair. A great way to get beachy waves or polished curls! Basically, DIY it with a straightener!

(, calm, music, ), Hey everyone Kayley here with an easy way to get flat iron curls that doesn't involve the annoying twist and pull situation. So I think it will make the whole curling your hair with a flat iron process way better for you.. So that being said, let's get into it.. So today I'm gon na use the T3 SinglePass Luxe Iron because it has beveled plates and they're also flexible, so they bend with your hair and that just means that it's going to glide a lot smoother through your hair. While you're trying to curl it., I'm also gon na grab a little bit of heat protectant spray., This one is the Crystal Shine and Hold by Schwarzkopf.. It adds a little bit of shine and a little bit of hold, which I am never gon na say no to.. So I'm gon na show you this with the iron off.. I encourage you to practice with the iron off and then do it once you feel, like you got the hang of it.. This method is gon na, be a lot like wrapping your hair around a curling iron.. If you were to curl this piece of hair with a curling iron, you would just wrap it around until it heats up and then it would be done.. It'S gon na be similar with this, but it's a flat iron., So you're gon na put the flat iron at your root. For the front of the iron you're gon na wrap it around like it's a curling wand. Then, when you get to the back, just pull it through the plates, clip them together and then slide it through and then, whichever way you wrap the hair around the iron is the way the curl's gon na go.. So I'm wrapping away from my face, bringing it through the plates clipping it and then sliding it through.. If you want it to go towards your face, it's the same. Principle. Put it at your root, wrap it toward your face, pull it through the plates, clip and slide, and that's the method.. So now that you got the idea, let's show it with the iron on.. So starting with our section, wrap, pull clip and slide.. I always give it a little twist at the end and there you go. Okay, so there is the bottom half. Now I'll do the top half. Boom.. Now, a little helpful tip from me to you is that, no matter how good your flat iron is, if you are clamping these plates together, it's gon na be really hard to glide the iron through your hair, because you're literally grabbing the hair with the flat iron.. So my advice keep it loose.. You can have them just closed or even a little bit open. The heat's still gon na be on your hair.. It'S still gon na curl, your hair, but it's gon na make your life a lot easier than if you're, just like ergh grabbing onto the hair with that flat iron, because that just makes it really difficult. On a side note something else. I really love about this flat iron is that it has ceramic and tourmaline mixed in the plates that actually seals your cuticle as you're using it. So your hair is a little healthier and a little shinier after you use it., That's something I really love about. T3. Keep your hair healthy, but styled.. There'S the first side: done. Got ta. Do the next side. On this side, it's the exact same principle., You're gon na wrap your hair either away or toward your face. Depending on what you want to do., I feel like. I really actually enjoy doing flat iron curls now that I figured out this method, whereas before it was always kinda like eh., I didn't really love it. Okay, so if you wanted to do it towards your face, just to show you guys'cause, I have kind of alluded To it, but so you guys can see how it works., If I had a curling iron I'd, be wrapping it this way to wrap it toward my face. So it's the same principle. Iron's, open. Step, one wrap it around the front. Step, two pull it through the plates. Step, three clip. Step: four slide. Le curl. And I'm just gon na leave. It there. We'll just have one random curl, going the opposite of everybody. Else. Always be that curl, the curl, that's just doing its own thing, loving life., Be that curl. PS. It really helps if you brush this first.. I feel like some of you guys might ask me if you can do this on short hair.. The answer is absolutely yes. You can see here. I have this really short piece of hair. Next to my face., It curled just as well as everything else.. It'S like my ear length.. So, yes, absolutely you can do this on short, hair., Okay and last one. ( singing ), And there we go flat iron curls.. I'M gon na break these up a little bit with my fingers or you can just shake them out.. Just do this number same thing. Then I'm gon na hit my roots with a little bit of this Ouai Texturizing Hair Spray.. This adds a little bit of volume and texture, so I'm just using it at my roots, because I have fine flat hair and I will take all the volume and texture that I can get. Then finishing off with some Ouai Soft Hair Spray., I'm just going to Spritz this onto my hair and then scrunch, because I think that accentuates the curl really nicely. So just spritz spritz spritz, spritz, spritz and scrunch., And that is it for these flat iron curls.. I hope you guys give it a try'cause. I find it so much easier than that whole twist and flip situation.. This method really works for me and I actually really enjoy it. So give it a try. See if it makes your life easier too.. I have one extra little bonus for you, guys. T3 offered to do a giveaway for you. They're, giving away their Touch of Luxe gift set, which is the SinglePass flat iron that I used today, and this Patricia Morales hair pin.. This thing is rose gold plated.. It is like the nicest hair thing that I own., So if you want to win this set linked, below. May the odds be ever in your favor.. That'S it for this video. Hope you've enjoyed it and I'll see you in my next one. Bye.
Comments
Jessica Pierce: I have literally watched 50 different videos, trying for the longest time to learn how to curl my hair with a straightener. I curled my whole head in 15 minutes after I watched this video. THANK YOU!!
Winona Johnson: So many reasons to love this video! 1. Gets right to the tutorial. 2. Great tips included like practice beforehand with the flat iron off and don't clamp down too hard 3. Explains advantages of tourmaline ceramic and gives brand info succinctly. 4. Explains method of curling flawlessly. 5. Time saving because everything she says is actually helpful. 6. Great voice so soothing! 7. So easy to understand how to curl hair with her thoughtful instruction and patient demonstration. 8. Beautifully produced video and beautiful person who is very personable and fun to watch. 9. I learned her method super quick! Yay!!
Katie Hart: Most informative straightener curling video I’ve ever seen.
1000 Subscribers Without Content Challenge: I like how she shows how to do this Step-by-Step, unlike some youtubers I know
Ashlyn Hatch: *ATTENTION* I learned this the hard way, but also tilt the iron upwards or downwards for the best curl. The more often you curl your hair, the better it will turn out. And also, don't drag your iron too slowly down your hair or it will just lay limp, but don't do it too quickly. And if it's not working too well for you, try smaller sections. Again, all my experience! Sorry if these things dont work for you, but I thought I would share some trial and error i went through❤
Ayesha P: This was my first successful attempt at curling my hair and it was so super easy!! I’ve failed many times at curling with a flat iron. Thank you for creating such an easy to follow video.
TheAverageSavage: This tutorial just changed everything for me! Thank you!! Also a helpful tip for everyone, to keep the curls from combining into one giant curl, one you do the pieces in front of your face going backwards, do every other piece the opposite way, one backwards, one forwards, one backwards, one forwards. Also, once youre finished lightly back comb the curl to add body and volume, shape it the way you like, it makes it look more undone and beachy, and less uniform. Also, as she said, twisting it the moment your done with the piece is important to get it to stay and be a shape you want. ❤️

Shauna Hutchinson: Just wanted to say thank you for this video. I know it's older but I am so glad I came across it. I have never been able to curl my own hair... And this is the first video that actually helped. Alot of people think everyone is at the same skill level when it comes to hair or makeup and can be rude or condescending in videos or comments and it gets discouraging. You we not. So thank you. I just curled my hair by myself for the first time. Happy new subscriber! :)
Morgan C. Paige: This is literally the only video that has effectively shown me the exact technique. I still struggle with it cause my hair is so thick but at least I know how to do it. I almost always just end up using my wand and straightened out the very ends to stretch out the curl to make a longer sleek wave.
Martina Callea: It took one and an half hour to curl my reeeally long and thick and straight hair but you know, it worked, they curled even though they didn't came out as nice as hers, but it was my first time so I'm actually happy with the result

Anja TarotCrystalHealing: Finally a way I understand, I could never figure out how to do flat iron curls right until this video. Thanks girly!!

Holly Bush: Omg thank you so much! I have tried curling with the “twist” method so many times and never could do it! Tried this and worked perfectly first time! Thank you!!!
