Anyone who has curly hair will tell you that they wish their hair was straight, and anyone with straight hair pines for waves. I know the feeling! I have very naturally straight hair (and don't do that much to it in terms of styling) so you know if I've curled it that I've really made an effort!
But, it turns out that you don't even need a curling iron or wand to get big bouncy waves!
Say what?
See the before and after shots of me below? Those waves are all thanks to my straightener!
But, but, but straighteners are made for STRAIGHTENING hair!
Nope! With a couple of easy-to-master techniques, you can easily get mermaid like soft curls with a straightener. And I'm going to show you how.
Taken By Surprise Tutorial: How To Curl Hair Using A Straightener
What you will need:
1. A straightener (duh)
2. Hairspray
3. Heat protectant spray
4. A brush
My straightener is a VS Sassoon VSCS31A |
Gosh, how cheesy do I look in the last photo? So cheerful haha |

From blah fringe to bouncy fringe! |
4. ...place the section in between the clamps of your straightener, which should be about where your ear is. Then you want to twist the straightener away from you, making sure the hair is still between the clamps. Then slowly pull the straightener down the section of hair as you continue twisting. This is what creates the curl! Once you get to the ends of your hair, roll the straightener back up (like how you twirl spaghetti with a fork) and hold it there for a few seconds, then let the curl go.
5. Let the curl cool for a few second so it stays in that shape, then gently put it over your shoulder. Then keep curling small sections like before until all your hair is curled!
6. Then give your hair a good spritzing of hairspray to lock in the curls, then gently finger comb your curls to loosen the shape and make them wavy rather than curly. Then give the top of your hair at your roots a good mussing up!
And that's it! This is what it looks like from the front and the back...

Also known as eczema, this skin condition may appear or worsen during pregnancy.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to dismiss the earlier notion that developing of
genital skin tags should not be misunderstood towards developing
any sexually transmitted diseases. There are many different reasons that could lead to the development of these tags on the skin.
