How to Curl Hair With a Flat Iron
It's possible to use a flat iron to create curls, ranging from tight spirals to loose waves. One of the easiest ways to do this is to choose one of the flat irons that curl hair. The Conair 2-in-1 tourmaline ceramic styler is a heat styling tool that creates curls and waves with ease.
If you have a regular flat iron — such as the Conair 1-inch ceramic straightener - you can still create bouncy curls. For tight curls, hold your iron horizontally and twist, gently gliding hair over the plates. For loose curls, hold the iron vertically and alternate curling locks toward and away from your face. If you need a visual aid, you can find a plethora of online videos demonstrating flat-iron curling techniques.
How Do I Clean a Flat Iron?
When cared for properly, flat irons for hair can last a long time. Always refer to package instructions and any enclosed literature for product care instructions. The proper way to clean a flat iron depends on its type. For example, an iron with tourmaline plates may have different cleaning requirements than one with ceramic plates.
How Do I Do Crimps With a Flat Iron?
In addition to straightening and curling, flat irons can be used to create crimped styles. The crimp is a tight wave with an '80s-inspired look. Practice creating this style with your flat iron by flicking your wrist back and forth when working the iron down a section of hair. As with curling, many instructional videos are available that show you how to create crimps with a flat iron.
