So we all know this was a huge fail for me...but I think it is because I wasn't turning the flat iron correctly. FEEL FREE TO SCHOOL ME IN THE COMMENTS! I truly prefer using a curling iron because I feel like the hair experiences less heat exposure, BUT I just LOVE the way flat iron waves look. Check out the tutorial that tempted me to do this below!

Don'T judge my skintone right now I am self-tanning and everything is a different color on my body, hi mal house and new pals. Today'S video is going to be me attempting to curl my hair with a flat iron. I talked about wanting to do this method. In my video about how I style my hair with a curling iron - and this is something that has been super intimidating to me, so I have watched a ton of tutorials - I will link some of my favorites in the info below that. I think kind of helped. Me master this in my mind because I haven't tried it yet. This is second day hair. I have nowhere to go today. I'Ve just been doing admin work and I thought you know this is kind of a low-risk situation. I don't have to get out of the house if it's disasterous will be okay, so this is what we have now and we're gon na. Hopefully look better in just a second. So I'm just brush this situation out, I'm going to apply my heat protectant, which I use the bumble and bumble invisible oil primer have for years and that's what I'm gon na do and I'm gon na just apply that through the links and the ends. Since you know a flatiron, you know this. Here'S your thing: okay, when you're curling, with a curling iron, you're, just kind of getting exactly where you're putting the barrel when you curl with a flat iron you're, getting like you, know all of the heat everywhere so make sure you have a good heat protectant. I am gon na section, my hair, because I feel like the underneath just needs some help, so I am just going to we're good we're gon na try this okay. So I've seen where people like to go overhead a little better. So we're gon na see how that goes. Oh, and by the way, this is a Hot Tools, one and a half inch curling, not curling iron, to Flatiron hello and that's what we're using today. I really like this flat iron. I had to do four years and then I finally went out. So this is what we're working with. Oh, my god. This seems so hard already. I know I was just like talking and did it, and that was very nerve-wracking, so this these underneath pieces that are just a little too short, I'm just gon na I'm just gon na pass this through okay and then I'm gon na grab the longer pieces and Do this, okay, so overhead and we're just curling a curling and curling and curling? Okay, all right, okay, I think I'm gon na curl this little section here. I don't want to burn my scalp. That'S one thing like with short hair: it's hard to have enough hair in some areas to actually curl so, okay, so far, not so bad, you guys hear snoring that is chewy my Pomeranian whoo. So let's just go for it. I don't know why I wore sweater. I'M sweating because I'm nervous, so I'm just gon na, do this and curl it. Okay. That looks like a curl. I don't know this might be too curly. I think my hair might be a little too short for this okay. Why am I being negative? It'S 20/20. That is not that that's not the vibe! This is just really me experimenting. Okay, I'm not trying to teach anybody my terrible ways, I'm just overhead clamping it down, and then I am just pulling it through whoo. Oh, my god. I think that could have gone better. I don't know I'm feeling very negative right now about this situation. So let's try this again. I don't know guys. I don't and I don't like doing too many passes, because I don't want to damage the little bit of hair that I have left. Okay here we go. I think, I'm too nervous, I'm getting myself worked up. Okay, that was better. That'S better! That'S better! Okay! Also, don't judge my skin tone right now. I am self-tanning and everything is a different color on my body, all right. Let'S do this! Oh, oh, my god see what am I doing wrong here? What am I doing wrong? Dang it? Now I have to go again. Okay, we're just gon na that's a fail that I don't want to have to pass a million times. You mean I just can't like it's hard for me to like visualize. I think I didn't flip over that side enough. Seeing then that's too curly don't want to have to pass through this section again there. I think I didn't like flip the hair enough or something no look we're not doing it again. We'Re not doing it again, we're not doing it again with short hair. Can'T you can't really control what the back does if it's too short and that's where I'm at right now with my hair? Okay, I'm just going to take this back section and I am curling all of this away from my face. I just straight up Flatiron to that part, see I'm freaking jacking up so much we're just gon na leave it we're gon na leave it. I hate this. I already hate this. I already hate this. I already hate this stick to a curling iron Mallory. I don't know why you know why, because all these girls on YouTube make it look so easy and it does look super cute if you cannot end up with a banana curl like that. Now this side, I'm not gon na, go over my head, I'm just gon na son of a gun like can your hair be too short for this? I'M just flipping it this way. No, I don't. I don't think that this method is meant for me. I think I could probably do it on somebody else's head easier than my own: okay, okay, okay, here we go now I got another section there that i chat up. I don't know you guys this big fail. I think i think it's a big fail and i think that i'm glad that i have nowhere to go because i think this is gon na end up curlicue city. Okay, all right! Oh I hate this. I think I'm gon na just kind of pull this out, because I don't want this too curly here I don't know I feel like this is more damaging than a curling iron, because I can do a curling iron really quick in one pass, and this is just And I feel like I have to go slower. Oh my god! This I swear. If I end up in one of those burned off hair fail things I'm gon na scream. I hate this. What is this? Even I'm not doing it again, I'm not doing it into this section of hair. This is the worst. No, you know what I'm the worst at this, because it looks like other people. Just can't do this all day long, I don't know I hate it. I hate it hate it hate it. It'S like one minute I understand, like my hands, can comprehend what my brain is trying to tell them to do, and then the next minute it's like nope. What is this? Well, I hate it be like this right here is kind of wanting to do what it's told the rest of my hair. Absolutely not. Now I look like I am a housewife from the 1950s. This is not at all what the other girls do on YouTube. Do not follow this tutorial, I'm going to just for fun. I'M gon na put some texturizing spray in it and we're gon na try to make the best of this. It looks like I hot rolled my hair. I. What is this? What is that? No? No! No! No, no! No. I think this is probably the worst hair tutorial I've ever done. Okay, this is kind of cute like can we salvage it? I don't know well, this was interesting, you know who could pull this off Scarlett Johansson and that's it experiment over. I will never do this again. Let me know what the heck I did wrong, because I obviously did a whole lot wrong. Let me know what I did wrong in the comments below. Thank you so much for watching. I promise I have better hair tutorials than this on the internet. So if you'd like to check those out, I will link my hair tutorial playlist below, oh, my god. Now I look like a news anchor. I feel really bad about myself. Okay. Well hope you guys enjoyed this video, give it a thumbs up to help my self-esteem and I'll leave a comment below. What would you like to see me do next, I'm done that's it, and I will see you guys in the next video and mm-hmm. Don'T forget to check out 17:12 shop comm and support this mess. Okay, love! You guys good bye. What is this? What happened? This is not what the internet told me I was capable of doing. Why is this affecting me so much goodbye
Comments
littlem39: This is so relate-able. I LOVE the edits. I needed to laugh today. Thanks! I also needed to know that I am not alone in NOT mastering this particular set of skills.
Jacquelyn Avana: "Spin" the flat iron more than once. Even if it seems like it's too curly is relaxes pretty easily.
Brittani Burke: Omg I've never related to a video more I hate flat iron curls on me!
Kristin VanDeusen: The struggle is real when it comes to curling with a flat iron!
Carisa Christian: I’m so glad I’m not alone in my struggles with short hair & flat iron! Keep it real sista!
Amanda Donnelly: Oh my word, this video was amazing! I'm not sure if I've ever related to a video more than this one. I was laughing so hard I was crying (starting at 6:50), because I say all the same things to myself every time I attempt to style my hair! You rock! And thanks for posting this!
Carrie W: This is me! I love that I’m not the only one that struggles with this. I despise using a flat iron to try to curl and my hair is a little shorter.
Nikole Nikole Nikole Nikole: Great video! I love the authenticity! And editing style. Humor shows. And you move on from a lesson well learned open to a critique for growth.
Laurel: I literally just laughed (and snorted) out loud. This is me every single time I try and use a flat iron to curl my hair. "News anchor, 1950s housewife." Dying. Girl, I'm right there with ya.
Michelle Gwilliam: This is my experience too! Loved this so much! You are ADORABLE!!!
Hana Fortune: This is me with a curling wand recent got one and I feel like I have no clue how to curl it. I’ve only ever used a flat iron to curl my hair
Jean-Marie Santiago: I literally laughed out loud thus whole video - I feel you. My sis does hers with a flat iron in 2 sec. I can't do it for shit.
Nicole Tischler: This was hilarious! Only because I feel your pain. It is seriously so hard to do! And they do make it looks so easy!
Jessica Tull: I can't do from over my head i have to go below. That to me was easier, especially when it came to wristing my wrist more easily for the curls. Don't give up, once you find your way to do it, it'll be the best thing since sliced bread lol i have tried them all.. curling iron, curling wand, and the flat iron. Adore the flat iron, gave away the other 2
Stacey Hexum: So beautiful! Love it so much!!! ♀️
Yarita A.: I love your hair, I love your makeup, I love your sweater & I love all your videos ❤
jbkidsco: this is EXACTLY what happens to me EVERY time I try to curl my hair with a flat iron....UGHHHHHH
Patty Hernandez: Gurrrl i needed this laugh! Thanks for posting it anyway! Totally relatable. Been there. Flat iron curling def takes practice. Hold the flat iron up not down.
Cindy Clark: thank you!! I can't get that technique down either. You make me feel less stupid! Because, I think you are awesome!! And if you can't get it, I'm good! I'll stick with my curling iron....
Sarah Scott: Definitely spin the straightener more! And I use it how you did your dominant side with the opening facing up!
Chelle: My mom was a hairdresser & my daughter is 1, you need to turn it 1 & a half to get it to curl. It will look super curly at 1st but it does relax ☺
Lynn Sanchez: Omg I love this video!!! I can totally relate!! I thought it was just me!!
Heather H.: Clamp mid length, rotate iron into an imaginary roller, hold. Release. I couldn't do it at 1st, I had to practice. Then, I quit bleaching/coloring and using a flat iron. Just went natural .
Kate Dooley: I find if i hold the tip of the flat iron with my other hand to twist again it helps definitely. Keep twisting girl!!!
kathleenin kansas: rotate and pull the iron to the front, towards your face for a curl. You're pulling it toward the back of your head which doesn't provide the correct tension for curling. Think of it like your curling ribbon on packages with a scissors.
tonya sweeney: OMG me!!! I've literally done this a dozen times trying to figure out how to do this method.. ugh!
Catie Joy: Flat iron curls really only work for me when my hair is around lob/shoulder length. (Any shorter and I end up with that housewife/flipped-ends look, and when my hair is on the longer side it just takes way too long and a curling wand is quicker and gives me better results.) I flat iron upward at the roots for a little added volume and then clamp about 2 inches down from the roots, I don't do the over-head thing, and I rotate the iron away from my face as I move down the length rather than doing the bend once and pull thing that seems to be the more popular way (because that always leaves me with just one big, weird bend in my hair ). If you do try again and master it on your shorter hair, though, I would love to see how you pull it off! I've never been able to make it work on a bob. (Love your new bangs, btw! )
Lisa D: It took me a lot of practice and watching videos to finally get it. Now I can't use a curling iron☺
Maureen Hansen: Nope doesn’t work for me either!!! I have so many scars from burning myself trying to curl my short hair, still I’m not giving up but definitely gave up on the flat iron!
Jessica Marie: My flat iron is skinnier and works perfect for making loose or tight curls so maybe a skinnier one would be easier. I am not very skilled with the curling iron or with any hair tools for that matter lol so that might be why I like using the flat iron
Bree Rodriguez: I feel the same way about using the flat iron to curl. LOATHE. Glad it’s not just me
Kate Dooley: Milabu has GREAT flat iron tutorials too! You'll get the hang of it lovely good luck
mj: OMG!! I’m so glad you posted this!! This is sooo me!! BUT YOU!!! Can’t mess up!!❤️❤️
Future: I tried flat iron curls I don’t even know how many times (at least 15) and how many tools (at least 4). Here is the trick: get the Kristen Ess 1” flat iron at Target. It has rounded edges, and the size is perfect for your hair length. I was able to curl it the first time. I don’t do it very often (just bc I’m so used to using a curling iron, so it takes less time), so the first couple curls I usually have to do twice, but once I do a few curls, I can just plow through and it looks awesome. I’m telling you, that tool is the best thing EVER. Trust me.
amanda 808: This is the first video I've watched on your channel, per recommendation from Taylor Winn, AND I'm cracking up! I can't wait to see more LOL!
Lili Mauve: lol editing goals. Can relate way more then Id like to admit. Actually I read somewhere the iron shouldnt be too hot, then the curles will be better but what do we know... its a struggle.
Kathy Brintlinger: You sound exactly like me curling with a flat iron! You’re still adorable anyway.
Lisa Humphreys: Yea welllllll.....LOVE your sweater though! But try spinning the iron one more turn, pull on any curls that look too curly right away and hold while still hot. This def takes practice! I still prefer a curling rod.
Faze Jarvies 1: I struggled in the beginning too and now I only curl w my straightener. You definitely have to spin ur wrist more and I don't recommend going overhead.
Alicia Branco: Literally me everytime I try to curl with a flat iron...team curling wand/iron
Kerrianne Fudge: I have the same problem with a flat iron. ❤
minnescrapper: I can’t do this with my hair either! It damages the heck out of mine.
Linda L Roberts: Oh girl you are too hard on yourself! Sending love ❤️ I
Lindsey: I never felt so uncoordinated until I tried curling my hair with a straightener
Kristy Carter: I cannot stop laughing. I’ve never related to something more in my life
Marisa S: I thought it turned out looking cute. Definitely not your best but hell for first time it is great! My hair won't curl with anything. I am lucky to get one curl by the time I am done my whole head. Basically, If i was struggling the way you were, I would have said f it imma go shower and have a nap :) But you pushed through and it turned out cute, also its nice to see that I am not the only one unable to do this! Thin hair can be a B....
just me I am: Support this mess ha ha.What's up mess?Yes the struggle is real,I know you're "pain". Whenever I "train" my curling it comes out beautifully no matter what or how I do it wand/flatiron.And when it's important it looks like I was attack by heat tools ha ha.2 tips for you-i have a tinny bit longer bob then you-twist more and I don't curl my hair the same day I wash it-the curls don't curl that much then if that makes sense.Bless you
Robyn Messenger-Stafford: Mallory, I'm DYING over the zoom in struggle shots LOL!
Lisa Hildebrand: Love the video. Totally relate.
Leah Gagliardo: Love that lip look
Veronica Rangel: Girl I'm on the same boat with flat iron curls. I gave up. Do a tutorial with a curling iron, I have same haircut as you.
Survivor OfMany: Nope not too short... try not pulling the iron all the way.. once you get your bend open it up so your not getting the ends
Virginia George: One more turn of the iron and you got it
dawn sherman: Omg I have always wanted to do these curls but they never work! My friend acts like they’re no big deal so why can’t I get them right????!
Survivor OfMany: Love the flat iron
Kristen Powell: I use a 1 inch iron and have sa,e length hair. I also do better from under when I do under laer
Laura S: I struggle with this too! I think you might have to do one more half turn or even a full turn. One side always looks better on me. You inspired me to try again - I’m sure we can nail it...eventually.
Jan Chav: I can so relate
Jaded Muse: Have you done something cosmetically to have more eyelid space or is it the lashes? Because if it's the lashes I really need whatever they are pronto.
Kristen Powell: Ok I commented before you were done. The back is crazy. It takes practice but I agree I can use a curling iron much easier
B B: The noises the only way I could curl my hair in a bob was with a wand
Carrie: I can't tell you what you did wrong because I haven't tried it, but your sound effects crack me up!
Shelia Smith: I can’t do it. You did well
beachy keen: After u clamp and twist pull forward not back!
Trish Bliss: THIS IS SOOOO MEEEE!!!
Deanna Hockenberry: I have very fine hair myself. A can not get it to curl or hold curl with a straightner.
Catharine: Flat irons r evil
gabeslittlehippo: Watch Chole Brown or Milabu andddd you will be golden!
Grigio Girl: Momma you got to keep twisting your wrist as you go down the hair
Shelly Norton: I think those girls have a specific iron that curls. I don't think its you!
amber cole: You aren't turning the flat iron enough.
H M J: you're funny
