4. clip up extra hair and make sure your straighter is hot

5. take a 1 inch section of hair at the root and twist the straighter so its halfway wrapped around the straightner

Wet your hair. It doesn't have to be dripping wet, because it will take longer to dry. It just needs to be damp enough for water to come in contact with every strand. This initial wetting serves to break the hydrogen bonds in your hair so that you can ';reset'; them in following steps. Applying mousse or a light gel helps your curls keep their shape because it will stiffen, although putting too much can make your hair feel hard or sticky.



Spray hair with heat protectant spray and comb through. This creates a protective barrier between the hair and the iron so that the hair doesn't 'frizzle' and burn. Therefore, this is highly recommended.

Brush you hair thoroughly. Section hair: starting at the nape of your head (that is, the part closest to, or on, your neck), estimate an imaginary line 1-inch above the back hair line. Section away and clip up all the remaining hair. You should be left with an inch-thick section of hair closest to the hairline.

From this remaining section of hair, take an inch meche. That is, the piece you've just separated should now be an 1-inch x 1-inch square x length of hair. Note: The size of the section you take influences the size and crispness of the curl. Smaller sections make smaller, tighter curls, and more of them. Large sections make large, lose curls and few of them. The inch x inch is a guide.

For Flicks:



Start half-way down the length of hair, clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself in a half turn. You should now have created a U-shape with the hair and the iron. Keeping the iron on that half-turn angle, slowly move it down the hairshaft to the end of the hair. The faster you move the iron, the less pronounced the curl/flick will be.

For Curls:

Start fairly close to the scalp (but not close enough to accidentally burn it), clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself a half turn (the same as with flicks). Run the iron slowly down the hairshaft to the end. Again, the slower you move the iron, the tighter the curl. The faster you move the iron, the gentler the wave.)

Move onto the next inch x inch section. Once you've finished an entire row, section the next inch-wide row and then make your smaller sections to curl.

Finish with hairspray or laquer

Use a tail-comb (that is, a comb with a long, pointy bit on one end) and clips when sectioning.

This style can only work if you use a thin straightening iron that is about 1 inch wide and not too thick. If you use a wider one, this style may not work.

Make sure your hair is completely tangle free and smooth before you begin.

Make your parting in the middle or at the side before you start to avoid frizz

Your hair should be straight before you start for best results.

Perfect your technique the night before as straightening after you have attempted to curl your hair takes double the time as normal straightening/curling does. It might take a few tries before you've perfected this technique. If a curl becomes wayward and won't do what you want, let it cool for five-ten minutes and try it again.

These kind of curls can look really effective if you just put a couple in on top of a head full of well straightened hair.

It is highly recomended to use a heat activated spray that is 'straightener friendly' as this protects your hair and keeps your hairs condition even with regular straightening. These products can be purchased from supermarkets and chemists alike, they retail for about $4-$10. Make sure it IS straightener friendly!

If you are trying to grow your hair long, this style is not recomended. it slows the process and can burn or pull out your hair.

Irons can get extremely hot and could damage your hair if you use it too much. Make sure you condition your hair well and use a completely ceramic iron.

You may need someone to help you to do the hair at the back of your hair to prevent you from getting burned.

Since most flat irons are just two flat heated plates with plastic or some other heat resistant backing, doing so can keep the heat on the end too long and end up frying the ends of your hair so make sure you don't hold it there more than 10 seconds

Never straighten wet hair unless you have straighteners that are made to do so.

Be careful because irons get extremely hot and can burn you, which may scar you for life.
