Flat Iron Curls

This is simply a tutorial on how to curl hair with a flat iron.

Supplies needed: Flat iron, comb, heat protectant

Wet hair is more prone to breakage and damage, so ensuring the client's hair is thoroughly dry is an important step.

This ensures smoother strands for better curl definition; it also prevents frizz and leads to healthier-looking curls.

Applying heat protectant is a VERY important step before doing any hairstyle that involves heat. This lowers the chance of frying your hair when using hot tools.

This allows symmetry on the head during the hairstyle, reduces tangles, and keeps the hair organized and where you need it.

Turn on your flat iron, make sure to maintain it at a healthy temperature. Preferably around 250°F - 300°F for fine hair, 350°F - 400°F for thicker hair.

This step is the most important to get a curl. Place the iron half an inch away from the scalp, twist away or towards your body depending on how you want your curl to face, and then guide the iron downwards.
