Why do girls/women with nice wavy hair flat-iron or straighten it like a religion?

Before the 20th century, women in Europe and America w/ wavy ginger hair were considered the most beautiful. Even the great Galileo wrote medical treatise on how the women of Europe could have grit for whitening the teeth and a recipe for auburn hair.


Nowadays, even extremely sound-minded women clutch their Chi ceramic irons to their bosoms like a holy mandate.


I have two friends w/ long luscious chestnut hair. They both flat iron their hair like their lives depends upon it. They have both been doing this since jr high school and are now college seniors. Either can explain why they continue the daily struggle to make their hair stick-straight at such a high cost in products, time and damage to their hair.


On days that one of them sleeps in late, I might meet her for lunch and she always exclaims shamfully ';My hair is awful today! It鈥檚 terrible! I hate it.';


My question always is what is wrong with those lovely God-given face-framing curls, ringlets and waves in the first place.Why do girls/women with nice wavy hair flat-iron or straighten it like a religion?
I gave up ironing my hair years ago. It's just what the media likes these days. I love my hair and I stand out in the crowd. We tend to get brain washed into thinking we have to be like everyone else and a majority of people are not blessed with the curls and waves. Therefore, (and I was one of the blind followers for a long time) it makes sense that so many girls try to hide their beautiful locks in favor of blending in. Once they get self-esteem, they usually stop. I know I did and I'll never go back.Why do girls/women with nice wavy hair flat-iron or straighten it like a religion?
Not all women/girls do so.


I agree with you--waves and curls are so pretty.


I love my waves.


Good luck
It's because we want what we do not have, if my hair is straight I want curly hair, if it is curly I want straight hair. Straight hair is really ';in'; right now as well.
I think sometimes people just get bored with seeing the same thing in the mirror every day, or maybe they find a style that they think makes them look good, so they just stick with it. Sometimes it's difficult to see yourself for how you naturally are and really appreciate it. Even I tend to think I look like a monster without a bit of makeup here and there, when in the past I thought makeup was pointless and never wore any. I think people just fall into a routine of doing things and stay that way.
they don't see what you see and in there opinion they think they are hidious unless they meet their self percieved idea of beauty
Well, I have wavy hair but sometimes I like having the sleek look of straight hair. I had pin straight hair my whole life then about 3 years ago my hair started getting wavy--I don't know why. Actually it's crazy wavy right now because it's humid. I like wavy sometimes because I don't have to do it to get ready to go somewhere--a little styling product, air dry and go. I like my hair both ways.
What a strange trend. I didn't even know that women did that until you


mentioned it. There are of course women with naturally straight hair that


use curling irons to make their hair wavy. Evidently, some women innately


prefer straight hair, and others innately prefer wavy hair.





Wavy hair is characterized by the abstract property of fineness, such


that people with a temperament of fineness prefer it, and people with a


temperament of crudeness detest it.

How do i keep my bob hairstyle looking good?

I have a bob hairstyle. It's just a plain, sensible hairstyle with bangs. It looked great when i first got it cut, but now that i've washed it my hair just flips up, and no matter how long i try to curl it under with a flat iron it doesn't work! I've even tried a curling iron, but it still flips up! Any method or product i can try?How do i keep my bob hairstyle looking good?
What I would do is go back to where you got it cut, and ask how you can keep your hair looking healthy and nice.


That way they can literally show you, and help you with the products,

How to restore the curl to never-permed, naturally curly hair?

How can I restore my 17 year old daughter's natural curls? She used Pantene ';Smooth N Silky'; conditioner for 3 months, with some occasional blow drying and ceramic flat ironing, and now her curls have been reduced to waves! No curl at all remains. Even after natural drying (no blow dryer, and not using a comb or brush), no color for 4+ years %26amp; never had a perm. Her hair is long (mid-back length)... How can we restore her curls?How to restore the curl to never-permed, naturally curly hair?
hair mosse??How to restore the curl to never-permed, naturally curly hair?
cut about 4-5 inches off and the curls should pop back up
Shave her head; it will probably grow back curlier than ever!
could you cut a bit off, like to the shoulders?


my naturally curly hair gets heavy as it gets longer and pulls the curls out but a cut restores the curl because the weight is reduced
Use Fantasia Leave-In Moisturizer Hair and Scalp Treatment, It works very well on maintaining and replenishing curls.

Im 13 and i wanan use a curling iron for the first time please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

ok so im 13 and i watch a video on youtube how to us it but i wanna put something in my hair before i curl it with the iron so it won't damage it or burn it but what help me i need advice !





Q1: what should i use before using the curling iron?





Q2: and what's the different between a flat iron and a curling iron


Q3: how long should i heat the curling iron before using it?


and BTW my hair is thick and dryIm 13 and i wanan use a curling iron for the first time please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
1: You should use a heat protection spray. I recommend you ';Tresseme Heat Tamer Protective Spray';. Many people use it, including me, and it works pretty good. It also helps your hair keep its style a little. Here is a picture of the heat spray just in case:


http://www.lovelyish.com/700530624/trese鈥?/a>





2: A flat iron is mainly to straighten your hair. It can also curl your hair too at the same time. A flat iron can make many style like crimping it or making your hair wavy. A curling iron is just to make your hair curly, in my opinion, the curls come out better looking than when using the flat iron. If you want to buy a flat iron, I recommend you a chi straightener. I don't really know much about curling irons since I don't curl my hair that much since it takes a long time for me.





3: It really depends, but 2-3 minutes would be great.





Just to warn you, since you said you hair is thick a dry, if you keep using these irons, it can make your hair crazy dry. You'll have A LOT of split ends. I have the same type of hair like you, and I straighten my hair everyday for a year. Gosh, my hair was a monster after that. Especially since I have thick hair, it's poofy and hot, because of summer. So just warning you, it's a lot of hair caring. You should let your hair rest sometimes.Im 13 and i wanan use a curling iron for the first time please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?
-Answer to Q1: Buy a special spray from your hair dressers or hair shop, it prevents hair damage from heat styling.


-Answer to Q2: Flat irons straighten and you also have the option of curling and curling irons are made for curling. If you already have flat irons, just use them


-Answer to Q3: It all depends but usually for a minute. If your hair is dry then you could try using a moisture therapy sachet from the shops to give it more moisture before you make your hair any dryer.
1.I use a protective hair serum in my hair any is fine really.


it keeps your hair shiny and soft and protects it from major heat.


I use John Frieda Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Hair Serum works great :)


its about 9 dollars or so but you can get any kind for around 3 bucks any kind works great.





2. A flat Iron has two plate the you press together to straighten hair a curling iron has a round iron with a a rounded plate to curl.





3. Well it depends on what kind of curling iron you have.


Mine has a red light it blinks when its hot. but to be safe wait about ten minutes or so.


my hair is also think and dry just use the protective hair serum before you curl or straighten your hair and apply a little after your done.





*Note: do not use to much hair serum it will make your hair greasy.


and apply all over.





Good luck kiddo :)
1. U should use a protecting serum, you can get it in any pharmacy or store that sells hair product.





2. A flat iron staightens your hair a curling iron curls it.





3. depends on the curling iron
Any product with thermal protection will help





A flat iron is a straightener





and you should wait until its fully heated.

  • How can I get curls to last with my thick, nearly shoulder length hair? What's the best way to curl it?

    So I have thick almost on my shoulders red hair. My hair has never done well with lasting curl. I had a short bob hairstyle but am growing it back out. It's at the point where I can't flat iron it smooth, but would rather curl it with big loose curls. Please help :) Thanks!How can I get curls to last with my thick, nearly shoulder length hair?

    ................How can I get curls to last with my thick, nearly shoulder length hair? What's the best way to curl it?
    use a flat iron and roll it up to the top of your hair. if you twist it a certain way the curls will come out looking really cute.

    Help me with my straight hair that won't curl!

    Alright. I have naturally straight, blonde hair. It's medium thick/thin. I want to be able to curl it with a flat iron or with a curling iron. But the problem is, my hair is too silky, so no matter how much i try (even with hair spray) my hair will not curl. School starts in a week and i want my hair to look good. I would like for it to look kinda similar to Jenny Garth's hair on What I Like About You (just to give you an idea.) Any suggestions with how I should curl it? When I use hot rollers or sponge rollers over night it usually gives me too much of a curl. I want it to be a loose curl. Help! And no rude answers pleaaase!! Thankkks!!Help me with my straight hair that won't curl!
    ummm my hair is really hard to curl but it works with a curling iron....ummm try putting your hair in about 6 braids and then use a flat iron and flatten it on the braids...it makes it wavy so im not sure that it will be exactly what your looking for but it might help..try it out before the first day of school so that if it loooks bad it doesnt matterHelp me with my straight hair that won't curl!
    ever thought about perming it? just have the loose wave style, and please bring a photo of the hair style. sometimes some stylists get carried away
    PRODUCT! you need some products to put in your hair to help you hair curl easier and stay that way. try getting a curl activating spray at a beauty store. ask the people who work there, theyll know what to get for you. for loose curls, id reccomend using a 1.4 inch curling iron. its perfect for curls that are loose and wavy.
    It sounds really gross, but hair holds style better when it's dirty, so try waiting a day or two (depending on how quickly your hair gets gross, if you have straight hair, you should probably just wait a day) after washing it and then try and curl it. I have naturally curly hair and to get it straight (which is probably just as hard as you trying to curl your hair) I have to wash it at night and straighten it in the morning. Also, make sure the curling iron you're using is small enough (barrel curls normally fall out in hair like yours).

    How to I style my shoulder length hair?

    OK, here is the scoop: I have one-length hair just past my shoulders. I have bangs, just normal run on the mill bangs. My hair is mostly straight, just a slight wave to it. Medium thickness. It is healthy with little damage. I try to avoid using blow dryers, curling irons, and flat irons because I want to keep it healthy.





    I only have a little time in the mornings to style my hair. I am an elementary school teacher, and I need a quick, easy professional hair style. I'd like to keep my length so I can clip my hair back on occasion. But as it is, its very boring.





    Any suggestions for a new hair style or cut?How to I style my shoulder length hair?
    make sure its layered, because then...you can have a shower, towel dry it, brush it and you wouldn't have to do much else with it, it would sit nicely all on its own...of course a little colour...perhaps some hair clips or a flower in your hair would set it off nicely...layered hair always sits really well..up or down...How to I style my shoulder length hair?
    Perhaps have a stylist cut some layers in the back and take a few inches off, and around your your face.
    razor cut bob would look great. it would add movement and texture.





    styling would be a breeze. just a bit of styling wax ( a light one.) on the ends and you're done. or a bit of styling spray for texture and definition.
    Maybe you could get layers cut into your hair? if you find your hair boring and want to change it up a bit, then you could also just go for a different color with the aid of dye. if you continue to keep away from flat irons, curlers, and other forms of hair torture, then the dye really won't sacrifice the health of your hair to any extreme.


    I'd have dozens of other suggestions, except you said that you're an elementary school teacher and need a professional style, so..





    good luck ^^;

    i have curly hair too. you should straighten it with a flat iron first, then crimp it. otherwise you may get frustrated trying to simply crimp your curls. also, wash it first and dont put any product in it. it's best if the hair is free/ clean from gel/ hairspray/ mousse, etc.How can i crimp curly hair?

    I had ';Afro'; hair, the kind that no matter how relaxer cream I put it still came out the same. my friend told me to go to the salon, relax my hair %26amp; have them straighten it whilst my hair is half dry. Did that %26amp; now I have nice straight, strong, long %26amp; silky hair.





    You should try it %26amp; make sure that when they stretch your hair, they take small amounts of hair that way, they won't miss any curly hair.





    Good luck.!
    Lol You should first straighten your hair with this stuff called silk therepy, it comes in a clear bottle, but it on each layer of hair your goiin to streighten, then streighten it , then crimp it, so you dont damage your hair...


    If you dont have $ for slik therapy, then use a leave in conditioner spray :)


    hope this helps
    You would straiten it First, but use a heat protectant spray or gel or whatever and some kind of leave in hair conditioner so that your hair wont increase in Frizzy-ness. It would probably take you a while because you have a lot and curly hair, but Im sure it will look good after all the time and effort is put into it!
    well even if you have a instylerl, you wont be able to crimp your hair.


    try a different FLAT iron.


    no rounded rotating iron, get a flat ironn.


    try something like a chi.


    :P hope it helps.
    straighten it first, then crimp it. make sure you have agood crimper though, if it's cheap chances are it wont work that well, good luck and dont forget the hairspray!
    straighten your hair!

    Best flat iron for natural AA hair.?

    I am anl African American female who does not get relaxers, sometimes I like wearing my hair straight so I decided to invest in a great flat iron for curly hair. I have natural 3c/4a hair, with a deep hair/curl pattern. What is the best flat iron for this type of hair, like what are some flat irons you ladies consider good for natural hair?





    Can you tell me the type of flat iron, whether or not your hair is relaxed, how long it stays straight,and the basic pros and cons of that flat iron, thanks.Best flat iron for natural AA hair.?
    I don't think it's so much the flat iron as the technique you use. Usually you have to blow out first and THEN flat iron. Don't forget a heat protectant. Here's one natural's regimen.





    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAB3l5e7O鈥?/a>





    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzrcJIkwM鈥?/a>Best flat iron for natural AA hair.?
    I am a stylist, african american, and have a ridicoulously retarded hair texture myself. (I have a relaxer- but my hair doesn't like relaxers, so my relaxer takes the ';puffiness'; out of my hair, but doesn't get it straight... It's my hair texture- not the brand relaxer I use)... Enuf about me-





    We have finally evolved beyond the oressing comb- that's a last resort nowadays.... I use a Chi iron and a Fhi (that is also made by Chi- but sold in Chinese Shops). If u don't sweat alot or live in a humid area, it can last about a week and a half, maybe 2 (wrap ur hair at night).


    You could also try a Babybliss flat iron- it's a little cheaper than the other irons I mentioned (which are around 90.00 and higher).


    Whatever Iron u decide on- be prepared to invest some money, and make sure it has ceramic plates. (if it's not ceramic, the coating on the plaates will eventually chip and snag on ur hair- causing breakage) Also, make sure u get some sort of thermal styling/ heat protectant. My favorites are by Mizani- it is a serum so it ads lots of shine and u don't need 2 use alot. You could also use the serum by Chi, or the protectant by SleekLook (it's in an orange bottle, by Matrix)
    Honestly, if you have natural hair, I don't think a flat iron will work good for you. I think your best bet would be to use a hot iron comb. Unless you have experience using them, I recommend seeing a professional to have them straighten your hair. The results will last much longer as well.

    Best way to get curly hair with flat iron?

  • How can i get curls in my hair to stay? I need good setting lotion too (like Miss Cool)?

    Ok, now this is a question for people familiar with African American hair! My hair is naturally curly but somtimes I like to heat style it and curl it to give it a more polished look. Now, i used to use this product called Miss Cool but it is now discontinued so I need a good setting lotion! When i do my hair i blow dry it then flat iron it and curl it with a curling iron! However that process makes my hair flat and not able to hold a curl! Maybe i should not flat iron it or maybe i should just concentrate on the top part of my hair? So anyway i just want to know what method you all use to create those pretty curls! I like ringlests and soft curls.How can i get curls in my hair to stay? I need good setting lotion too (like Miss Cool)?
    I use organic root stimulator olive oil wrap and set foam. Works like a charm. You can find at most beauty supply stores for about 5-7 dollars. You can still wash, blow dry and flat iron your hair. What I do after all that is set my hair and put foam rollers in, tie it all up and go to sleep. I wake up the next morning and take them out...and tada! awesome curls!How can i get curls in my hair to stay? I need good setting lotion too (like Miss Cool)?
    use hair spray after you curl your hair
    try lottabody cream for wrapping and setting your hair


    also use magnetic type rollers in damp hair to curl your hair as curling tongs can cause heat damage to your hair, you will also obtain longer lasting curls as your hair will be dried into the shape of the rollers
    I use Black n' Sassy Foamy Setting Lotion. It makes my curls last a really long time. I found it in the beauty supply store it cost about five dollars.

    How can i make my hair quicker?

    Must Keep it Clean and Brush it many times per day.





    Stop using Heat this stunts the hair growthHow can i make my hair quicker?
    well it's a good thing you protect your hair from heat. Use Mane 'n Tail shampoo and conditioner. It was fetured in 17 magazine to make your hair softer and shiner. It's proven to make your hair grow a little faster. But don't think its a miricle. If your hair grows 1/4-1/2 in. in 1 month thats really fast. At 1st i thought it was pet shampoo but i was wrong. So don't think this is a joke. lol. Don't brush your hair 100 times a day or in the shower while wet. This makes you bald. hope it helps

    I have naturally curly frizzy out of control hair. I have become pretty good at styling hair for the simple fact that if I wasn't my hair would be nuts. My problem is that it takes a lot of time to do anything with my hair because to flat iron or curl it with a curling iron or hot curlers or anything i have to blow dry it relatively straight first or it won't work out. Does anyone know anyways to smooth out my hair permanently or in a more timely way so that it is ready to be styled?How can i permanently smooth?
    i use paul mitchell smooth serum for the frizz, it works really well. also i shower at night so i go to bed with my hair kinda wet and i think that helps with the frizz a bit tooHow can i permanently smooth?
    there's this lady in my aerobic class that told me to get a perm and then buy a wide toothed comb and comb it out.. now whether or not that works and I really don't know how it would... I have naturally curly hair, but I have always had it chemically straightened. IT is costly in the salons but I was fortunate to have a friend who was a hair dresser do it out of her home.


    In answer to the first response you got, if I washed it at night and let it dry overnight, it be one ugly mess ( bird's nest ) in the morning. I don't recommend that..





    The only thing that comes across is that you need to find a product that would smooth out your hair. When you find that product, let me know. I no longer have the girl to do my hair and they salons water down their products too much for it to work in my hair. plus their expensive.

    How to curl defiantly straight hair and make it last?

    My hair is so straight that even if I curl it all the way up until I look like sherley temple it will fall straight within a couple hours. I have given up on the idea of curling my hair because it is a waste of my time. I have hot rollers but I can't get the curls tight enough to stay in for long, they are okay. I have a curling iron and that only does so much because my hair falls out again anyway. i try to use a lot of hairspray but my hair looks like plastic and silly. I've tried pin curling with no luck.

    Do what they did in the old days and use 'rags'. Just twist you hair with spare pieces of cloth before you go to bed and slip a hairnet or the end of the stocking on your head. In the morning your hair will be curlier than Shirley Temple.How to curl defiantly straight hair and make it last?
    Use a flat iron to curl. Technique: put the end of your chosen piece of hair in the flat iron. Roll the hair around the iron tightly, hold for about 30 seconds and let the hair drop from the flat iron. This should give your curls some sexy volume and cute style that lasts all day without the use of product.
    you could use a hot iron, but that's not too good for your hair. i use curlers myself but i apply mousse to my hair beforehand. i use garnier fructis mousse, called XXL Volume Thickening Mousse. it usually lasts a couple of days which is good.





    try it, good luck!
    I have the same hair as you. I know how you feel. I would love wavy locks. I have some foam rollers and some rag rollers. If I wind my hair when it is almost dry in very small sections then sleep in them overnight my curls last until the next day with some loosening (unless it rains on me of course) It is a bit uncomfy to sleep in them and I would be wholly embarrased if the fire alarm went off but it works and it doesn't damage my hair like heated tools. The foam rollers will only set you back a couple of pounds and rag ones you can make yourself...I've found some links to show you how to make them.





    Happy curling

    How to get my hair to hold a curl?

    I have longish hair that it very thick and pin-straight and flat down to my ears where it starts forming soft waves and gets kinda bushy and frizzes at the ends. It's of medium texture, not coarse but not super soft either. It's cut into a sort of shag that's layered all different lengths all over with the shortest layer at my chin. For some reason, it doesn't hold a curl. I have tried curling irons, hot rollers, regular rollers, putting it up in little buns, curling it when it's not washed, all to no avail. When I use a curling iron I spray it with good quality hairspray first and then curl it (I've tried all different sized barrel curling irons). I get a decent curl for about two minutes and the it starts falling out until I just get sort of a weird flip at the end. In the mean time I don't touch it or anything, it just does it by itself. I've tried both rolling my hair with the curling iron and winding my hair around the barrel. Both produce the same result. I've also tried using a flat iron to curl it with worse results than the curling iron.





    Same thing with any kind of rollers, even if I sleep in them.





    I scrunch my hair to bring out the waves all the time but this gives more of a messy wavy look than a good curl. (By the way, for some reason with me, scrunching my hair with a diffuser makes the wave fall out rather than adding to it. Anyone know why that is?)





    Anyone know why this is? Or good ways to curl stubborn hair lol :)How to get my hair to hold a curl?
    after you wet your hair , let your hair dry.....get a small section of hair at a time and use a curling iron, curl your hair then use a grandma roller and put it up, do that with the hole hair ...you can get those rolling curl at sally beaty supply, but don't get the smooth one ok, that don't hold your hair every good...hope it work for you..

    You heat up the curling iron to the hotest setting. (thats the best one. ;D)


    You wait 5 mins then your ready. you take about 2 inches of your hair and push the rest back in a pony tail.


    Then you take the curling iron,open it,put it at the tipppittiptip bottom part of your hair and you roll i up. (either wayy. But it will come out differtn depedning on which way you do it. if you do it in you get curls on the inside and if you do it out you get them flipped outward.) So you turn the curling iron and roll it up to the top of the hair (not to your head so you dont burn yourself) and you hold it there for about 2-3 minutes. So you do that all around your head. Always hold it for AT LEAST 2 mins or it wont stay all day. Dont brush it afterwards just let them fall. And you may want to spray it with hairspray to make it spray more. Then your done. ;DD


    Hope i helped.Curling iron ??
    Totally its so easy once you get the hang of it....... you just take the clippy thing on the end of a good size strand of hair then you just twist it up for 10 seconds then feel the hair to make sure its hott enought then.... while you are still holding it twist the curling iron so it faces straight up and down then gentley pull it down while you hair is still attached to the clippy thing and voila CURL
    take small pieces of ur hair and wrap it around the curling iron. when ur wrapping it around u take the curling iron and attach it 2 the end of the hair and start 2 twirl from the bottom up. keep it in 4 about a minute each . if u want the curls 2 be like perfect u should straighten ur hair 1st. if u want the style 2 last really long then u need 2 put hair spray. IF UR USING HAIRSPRAY MAKE SURE THE BOTTLE IS AT LEAST A FOOT AWAY. if u hold it up 2 close then ur hair will b a sticky mess
    you tube has a lot of tutorials. check it out.
    ok i hope that this video helped you as much as it helped me
    if you want spiral curls you can use hot rollers and put them in vertically or if you have a barrel curling iron you have to manually wrap ypur hair around and maybe use some hold spray and hold for about 8 seconds and if you have spiral rollers you can put these in after you use the curling iron at night and they should curly in the morning

    How do you curl your hair?

    In a week I will be going to a dance, and this is like the middle school prom-- kind of a big deal!!! I have thin, blonde, layered hair that falls about an inch below my shoulders. I have a curling iron, a flat iron, and hot rollers at home. I can't buy anything new. I'm just going to leave it down with the curls--no outrageous up-dos or anything. Also, I prefer tighter curls to looser ones.


    I'd also like to know how to keep it held for a long time and last through all the dancing.





    Thank you SOOO much--I really appreciate it!How do you curl your hair?
    I use my CHI! luv it! it only takes about 10 minutes too, but it does do loose curls.How do you curl your hair?
    i dont know im a guy
    get gel and curl with your fingeer; to keep it for a long timee usee profesional spray,if you have...;
    u can try hair spray of moose
    shampoo your hair put some mousse or jel in it dry with blow dryer and use your hot rollers take 2 inch by 2 inch sections and roll them up let set in hair for about a half hour or so take them down and flip your hair over and use your fingers as a pick and run them through your hair flip your hair back and use your fingers again to tame it down don't brush your hair or you'll lose the curls make sure you put hairspray on it to hold the curls practice a few times before the prom so you have it down
    i have REALLY straight hair and it wont last more than a couple hour and my sister has the problem until a while ago. u have to be patient and part ur hair and use ur curling iron to curl ur hair really tightly and as soon as u let it go put strong hold hairspray on it and just keep doing that with everythiung and before u nkow it everything will be pretty and curly! :D
    First off you need to do your hair at least once before hand so you know what you want and how to do it. second go in the black hair styling products area and get a hair spritz called ';Stiff Stuff';. This stuff holds like nothing else. Use a smaller barrel curling iron and small amounts or hair. after you curl it let it cool DON'T BRUSH IT OUT. you will loose your curl. finger comb it into small curls . Good luck have fun.
    to start wash your hair the day before you want to style it if your hair is thin. if not your hair will be to silky.Depending on what type of curls you want,there are different techniques.If you want spirals either use a spiral curling iron or a regular one with your hair wrapped around the outside.If you want to use hot rollers this is a instructional video http://www.ehow.com/video_1325_curl-hair鈥?/a>


    if your using a flat iron this a good instructional video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k57daS_c_鈥?/a> and when your finished use non crunch hairspray

    How to curl my hair?

    i've tried to curl my hair several times with the curling iron but it never comes out right..it comes out jagged i don't have a flat iron i have a regular one..How to curl my hair?
    did u kno that curls hold better in dirty hair?


    now im not talin bout a week dirty hair...ew.


    i mean lik, take a shower one day, nd the next day, dont shower, curl ur hair that day...


    **the other trick is...is HaIrSpRaY


    -hairspray a section of hair that ur gonna curl nd comb through so the spray spreads...


    -curl the hair wit curlin iron


    -hairspray the hair (while its curlin wit iron) then even the spread of the hairspray by spreadin it wit a napkin, or ur fingers *careful its really hot*


    -let go of the curlin iron after 10-20 seconds


    -hairspray again


    -do this all around the head...


    -u can run ur fingers through ur hair to get a gentle curl nd a bit mor curls...How to curl my hair?
    If you want to curl you hair. what really works, if you put a little bit of greese on the hairs that you are goin to curl..that helps b/c i did my friends hair like that and if came out really good.
    have a look on websites for tips or ask a friend who can curl their hair to help you out.You can always try curlers...yea
    use rollers...





    put a setting lotion in it...put the rollers in and sit under a dryer...





    or you could leave it in overnight and let it airdry....
    This is what my sister does for a temporary curl. She ties her hair in pleats and sleep on it overnight. Next morning, she removes the bands and her hair is curly for the day. =)
    try holding the curler in longer, or it just might be the type of hair you have, because no matter how long i held the curler in my hair didn't curl, but now it does because i got a perm and i guess the chemicals from the perm made my hair become more capable of being curled and it gets really curly.

    How to keep the curl in my hair overnight?

    Hi, I just recently got my hair done...and I got it cut sort of short and layered.I am african-american I though the curl would stay in my hair but overnight it just completely flattens, even though I wrap it. I really do not want to flat iron it everyday to curl it. But with this cut, it must be curled or i will look weird. Should I sleep in some rollers? Or should i put rollers in the morning? and then like shower...then take them out? Should i not even wrap it? Just put a cap over it?...How to keep the curl in my hair overnight?
    sleep with soft rollers on and wear a hair net or shower cap over itHow to keep the curl in my hair overnight?
    Hair curlers.
    Hair net
    you can curl your hair with a curler and it will last till the next day depending on the curler you have


    i like hot topics..
    I would put rollers in before you shower in the morning. The humidity in the shower is going to dampen your hair and help it to pack down. They run a blow dryer over the rollers before you take them out to get out any moisture. You should be good to go.
    my best solution to your problem would be to curl them as best as you can during the day so you they dont fall out and then hairspray them to keep them in hold.


    when you go to sleep put the in rollers or in a cap but try your best to sleep on your side you dont flatten them too much.


    (putting your hair up in a bun sometimes helps because it keeps the bounce..)0


    in the morning, once quick spray of hairspray(recommended) or gel and then your done!
    soft hair rollers and a silk bonnet

    How to get small curls with a big curling iron?

    im not even sure if thats possible.. but i have a 1 3/4 inch curling iron and it makespretty big curls. i cant get another curling iron but i wanted to know if i could make smaller tighter curls somehow with the one i have. i also have a one inch flat iron if anyone knows how to make tight curls with that.


    thanks (:How to get small curls with a big curling iron?

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ted3imMgg鈥?/a>How to get small curls with a big curling iron?
    The best way to get small curls without buying more stuff is to set them over night in rags. It takes a little more time, but they'll last all day, and be tight and spiral-y. You can tear up an old tee-shirt, thin kitchen towel, or even use paper bags cut into strips. You want them about an inch or an inch and a half wide, and 4-5 inches long. Dampen your hair (you can use a setting lotion, too, or spritz your damp hair with spray gel) and roll it up around the fabric or paper (fabric's way easier to sleep on). When you get to your scalp, tie the strip across the curl in a single knot. The bigger the sections of hair you roll, the bigger the curls will be. In the morning, un-tie the rags, and unroll your hair. Use a wide-toothed comb to style.
    yea you can use a flat iron...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. run the iron slowly down the hairshaft to the end.the slower you move the iron, the tighter the curl... or just use mousse and scrunch. :)
    Try using Straighteners it you have them? i use them and just take little sections of your hair that's how i curl my hair and it works really well, hope this helped
    i would get a smaller curling iron because if you have a big one then you will obviously get big curls so go buy a smaller one at target (:

    Amika hair iron... how to curl?

    Ok, so I just bought the Amika flat iron (the one that also curls) at the mall. I straightened my hair (AWESOME!) and it's just as great as when the girl showed it to me. One small problem... the girl put this really awesome curl in my hair in like two seconds, and I want to curl my hair all over. I can't figure out how to use it to curl! The directions for curling are brief, uninformative, and I just can't seem to get it. Anyone have good directions, or a website with help/info/photos for curling?





    Thanks!





    ps- yes, it is worth it, for anyone who has considered purchasing one ;)Amika hair iron... how to curl?
    difficult to describe, but ill take a shot at it. there are quite a few ways, but try this one. take the section you want to curl and comb it smooth and away from your head *sideways*. hold the iron a few inches away from you scalp with the hair between the iron. wrap that piece around one side of the iron. now close your iron and twirl/pull it away it, unspinning the hair your wrapped around the iron. you need to wrap and twirl the hair in the same direction or there will be this horrible kink in it where the curl begins. troll youtube and you'll find hundreds of video's n how tos if you're looking for other techniques, i just gave you the one i find to be the easiest. Forewarning, USE THERMAL PROTECTANTS! flat irons are hot, like center of the sun hot and can fry hair in a flash, a thermal spray wont cause any grief and itll save your hair. please invest in one especially if your playing around learning curls, as the hair stays in contact with the iron for a much longer time then basic flat ironing. Im not trying to scare you, just warn you that if you hold the iron in one spot for too long, it WILL damage your hair. use a good thermal spray like reken fabricate or spray starch or hot sets, or matrix sllek look flat iron spray. hunt around, you'll be able to find one on sale somewhere, but please please please dont muck about with out one.

    Curling my hair with a curling iron pleaseeeeee help!!?

    so i recently bought the 1'; hot tools curling iron and i watched a lot of videos on youtube on how to curl your hair but all the girls start off with pin straight hair .. do they straighten their hair prior or do they blow dry it or do they just have naturally straight hair? i have wavy, frizzy, poofy hair .. i have really really stubborn kinks at the top of my head but then they straighten out at the bottom .. should i straighten my hair before curling it with a curling iron or blow dry or what? also what products should i use .. another thing is that my curls ALWAYS fall out .. if i use a flat iron or curling iron .. i have THICK hair .. what should i do pleaseee help


    thank you (:Curling my hair with a curling iron pleaseeeeee help!!?
    try it both ways. for me since i have really thick hair. i wash and blow dry it then take pieces of my hair and curl it until the whole head is done. my hairs curly and thick and sounds like yours so i think it gives it much more volume. but straightened hair might work best for you


    id just experiment


    xCurling my hair with a curling iron pleaseeeeee help!!?
    Take it back and buy the In-styler it does better with thick hair
    buy a good buy and retirn da one yew have:P
    okay, so my hair is kinda liked yours, but when i want to curl my i have it dry, not straight or anything, just normal ! so then i curl it, and then i use moose to help keep the curls in and then i hair spray it, lots of hair spray


    hope it helped!
    after you get out of the shower, blow dry your hair straight...dont straighten it! that will confuse your hair :) after you blow dry it straight, get some extra hold hair spray and while your hair is being curled hairspray it. hold your hair around the barrel for 10-15 sec. make sure and only get 1 inch sections in the barrel at a time so it will help them stay. after you're done, spray all your hair lightly. this works for me as i have the same problem. good luck!
    straighten it first or put a serum on or like a anti-frizz OR lol uhmm if u have straight hair from ur roots then u dont have to because ur curling the bottom half of your hair. Hope it helped%26lt;33
    never ever straighten your hair, and then curl it. It burns it like crazy! Just do this- when you curl your hair up in the curling iron, before you release, spray that curl with hairspray, and then release. do that to all of your hair. If your still worried about it falling out, do an extra coat of hairspray on the whole thing. Its a lot of hairspray, but it works.. :)
    you should use some ani-frizz cream on your hair when its wet so it will be a little but more tame.


    then you should get some heat-resistance spray so you don't totally fry your hair


    put that on it, then blow dry with a brush.


    after its totally dry, put some more of the heat spray on and then curl it.





    your hair doesnt have to be straight, but its hard to manage if its really frizzy and kinky. so go to wal mart or something and just get some shampoo and cremes to help with that :]

    Curling Iron?

    Hi,


    Yesterday, I saw a big curling iron at the mall - well a bigger then the smaller ones that I normally see and wondered how I would go about curling my hair with it.





    My question is, I would like to know if there is a good way of curling my hair, as it is naturally wavey and curlier on the bottom.





    -Should I just curl it (after blow drying) as it is or should I straighten my hair with my flat iron then curl it.





    -And what kind of hair product would you use to keep it together (i.e. hairspray etc.).





    Thank you and have a great week!Curling Iron?
    You should use the hair product Silking. It's great for all hair types and will help keep curls in place. You should not straighten, then curl because you will result in breaking your ends off. If you want sophisticated waves, use a bigger curling iron, hairsrpay, and then comb through with your fingers. If you want to go curlier, you should take a somwhat smaller iron and curl the places in your hair that aren't already too curly. Always remember to hairspray! And if you want a more nautral look, blow dry your hair, and put some leave - in conditioner on your ends.Curling Iron?
    OK well you would want to apply some mouse as it is drying and then let it naturally dry. ( this is wat i do) then while its still little damp begin to curl it. when it is done being curled it should look very natural and applying hair spary can make it crunchy.


    Heres a web site:

    i would also like to say that you should deep condition your hair if you plan to do this alot.

    How to Curl Your Hair With a Hair Straightener


    http://homebeautytips.blogspot.com/2007/鈥?/a>Anyone know how to use a CHI hair straightener to ';curl'; hair?
    Take the piece of hair you want to curl, put the straightener at the end or middle of it, and then twist towards your head the same way you would with a normal curling iron. It doesn't make perfect curls...it's better for a messy, wavy look.
    Hold the straightener toward the base/root of the hair and wrap the piece of hair around the straightener form root to end. They will be more like wavy curls. You can also do this with a regular curling iron if you don't want tight curls. I do this all the time.
    yeah chi is the best however there are chi curling irons as well, I know you can kind of curl the hair with a chi by moving in a circular motion and rounding it out as you work down the strand you are working with, its so much easier to show you than to explain though, sorry for my funny explanation. LOL I use my chi to bump my hair under or out by round it off at the end, again hard to explain with words, easier to show. I guess I am no help,, huh!!! LOL

    Oh man... I searched for one of those videos for Evvverrrr.... and I found some good ones but my hair sucks... .... anyways it's pretty simple...but takes PRACTICE





    clamp it near the top





    spin the flat iron at least a full circle (you may need to figure how far works best for your hair)... and by spin i mean holding the flat iron horizontal and keeping it that way... you should see your hair wrap around the flat iron... this is the hardest part





    and slowly pull down .........the end.....





    *coughs* practice.............Steps how to make you hair curls with a flat iron? plz help?
    first: wrap your hair together on the flat iron. Then clip on to your hair.





    next: wait for 15-20 second if your hair is thin. 20-30 sec. if it's thick





    then: make sure you have it in a horizontal way





    finally: unwrap it and walla...you have a curl.

    You clamp it kind of near the root, twist the iron around, and slowly pull down. It is a bit hard to explain. I guess it is somewhat like curling ribbon.

    For curly hair I use L'OREAL Studio Tightly Wound Curl Boosting.


    It keeps your curls under control and makes them a bit softer.





    Also, when you hair is wet, run your fingers through your hair to stop frizz.





    and as for curling it think twice about a curling iron, I'd use a flat iron just because its better for you hair, its quicker and easier.

    Its for curling ur hair with the flat iron.How do you loosen curls?
    Sometimes my curls tighten up when it's really humid out, in that case I wet it a little and spray some hair spray or gel then put it in a tight bun until it dries. That really loosens the curls up but my hair is naturally curly.
    get your hair dryer and put it on warm or hot, and put it on low and run your fingers through your curls, works everytime :D
    the longer your hair is the less curly it is

    if your hair is naturally curly then curl your hair then take a hair dryer and put i on low and dry your hair it will loosen the thick curls and make them wavy with your fingers scrunch your hair then it should look kinda frizzy wavy style hope it works on your hair
    Wash your hair and comb it straight with a blow dryer in hand. Then roll your hair in wide curlers. Then when you take the rollers out, 3 hours later... you will have wider waves. You can separate the curls by hand after you spray your hair lightly with hairspray. Remember that you can use a hair pick on your hair after curling, but do not comb or brush!! Good luck:)
    Yeah, use a curling iron. For loose curls use a big barrel curling iron. I have a a spiral curling iron and it just makes tight curls. Too loosen use a jumbo lol or big curling iron. Hope I helped:)
    after showering, brush out ur hair so its straight, then scrunch some parts of it! Hope i helped : )

    How To Curl Shoulder-Length Hair.....?

    My hair is a little below shoulder-length. Every time I curl my hair (with either a flat iron OR curling iron) it looks shorter than it really is, like 3 inches above my shoulder. Is there a way to curl it without making it look too short? Because I don't look good with short hair.

    After taking a shower, you can put your hair in braids and go to sleep with em in.How To Curl Shoulder-Length Hair.....?
    roll it wet, and sleep on the rollers, and it will be dry and ready to take out in the morning.





    If you are going to roll it wet, also place some styling gel on your hair. Roll it in sections like- each side, the top, and 3 rows for the back. Roll the curlers down / under... not forward.





    When you take it out in the morning, just lean your head and hair over - shake it out, and you are ready to go. Plus, your hair will look gorgeous. I bet you will get plenty of compliments through out the day
    had the same prob, 2 solutions;


    1) big barrel curl iron (mine is the hugest i could find, like 1 inch and a half wide) so it makes BIG curls


    2) LAYERS!! very short (to the bottom of ur ears) on top, very long on bottom, SO MUCH EASIER TO CURL (with option 1 makes fab results, especially when u curl the top layer in fine strands parallele to your middle part)
    as for curling it think twice about a curling iron, I'd use a flat iron just because its better for you hair, its quicker and easier.Try this tutorial out so you can see what I''m talking about: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yi_xc3fsr鈥?/a>


    Its for curling ur hair with the flat iron.
    Put it in small curlers when wet and sleep with it on and take it out ion the morning and it will be perfect
    just curl the ends with the straightner. My hair is like that and if u just curl the very ends it still looks long.

  • What happens when you dye/ curl clip-on hair extensions?

    like when you dye them, will they turn out into the color that you expect them to be, and not all ugly looking? lol. AND if it were possible to dye them, will the color fade like how it is with real hair?





    and suppose the extensions were straight when you buy them.


    if you curl them with a curling iron, can you straighten them back to how they were by using a flat iron?What happens when you dye/ curl clip-on hair extensions?
    human hair extensions can be dyed and curledWhat happens when you dye/ curl clip-on hair extensions?
    All 100% Human hair extensions can be dyed. If you want it to go a specific colour it will depend on the base colour of the extensions and what colour you want it to be. I am a hair extensionist and I get all my extensions from www.seductivehair.com, they sell really high quality extensions.
    if they are real hair it should be fine.


    real hair is like your hair,just because its not


    on a head doesnt mean it wont react the same way.


    if the color of the extentions are blonde,you can just


    dye them any color you want and it will turn out to be


    what you like,HOWEVER,if you end up washing them


    they WILL fade.if the extentions are a darker color you


    would have to bleach them,and that will damage them,causing


    them to not look as :shiny,new,sleeek: as they were


    when you bought them.bleaching anykind of hair damages it.


    if its a dark shade,and you want to make it lighter,you'd have to leave on the bleach for a while,and yeah that will most likely make you want to just throw them out afterwards.they wont look good,sorry.now IF THE EXTENTIONS YOU HAVE ARE REAL HAIR...then if you curl them,then straighten them,NOTHING will happen.if they are fake,alot of steam will come off of them,and before you know it you have frizzy,ugly extentions.hope this helped.

    You can find plenty of ways to style your hair on YouTube, but there are loads of ways to do it yourself. Try experimenting. Use flicks outwards or inwards to look different but it depends on the thickness of your hair.

    Curling your hair with a FLAT IRON?

    ....IS IT JUST ME..OR DO I TRY TO SIT WITH YOU TUBE';HOW TO'; VIDEOS..IM TRYNA LEARN HOW TO CURL MY HAIR WITH A FLAT IRON..AND IT JUST AINT WORKING? anyonee tried?Curling your hair with a FLAT IRON?
    Hi there,


    Yeah I have curled my hair with a flat iron before. When you do it properly it actually looks quite good.


    First of all put some heat protecting product in your hair.


    Then get your flat iron and lightly clamp the end of your hair in it, then twirl the flat iron around the rest of the hair. Depending on how you want the curls, i recommend to have the flat iron vertically straight up. Hold it there for about 10-15 seconds and then release the grip on the flat iron and let it just slip out of your hair, making sure you don't straighten the curls. Do this with the rest of your hair. When you've done that spray all your hair with a good quality hairspray. If you like you can put some hairspray in your hair before you curl you hair as well. And there you go easy, flat iron curls.





    Hope I helped =]Curling your hair with a FLAT IRON?
    yeh, i've done it - i don't like the way it looks, its just creating waves like crimping, you're best just getting some tongs if you want actual curls.
    yes!! as you can see from my pic... i did mine with a ghd flat straightning iron... it very simple. you need to take small strands of hair, lightly spay with hairspray, and then start at the top , dont clamp the straighnters so tightly round your hair, clasp the irons gently... then as you take the iron down the length of your hair turn the iron in a half cirlular direction and continue pulling the irons downwards..... and that my dear is how you curl your hair with a flat iron :)





    and remember, practise make perfect!
    It does work if you know how to.


    I prefer with a flat iron than a curling tong.
    Literally, this is the ONLY tutorial that I found that actually helped :


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dMeug050鈥?/a>





    I sat through like 30 other ones and it confused the heck of me.


    I watched like a minute of that one and I was able to do it, perfectly.
    Its simple, you have to practice (its all in the wrist and how you position the iron) Just use a curling iron if your are having problems.

    Curling your hair with a flat iron!!?

    Ohkay, so i know how to curl my hair with a flat iron but for some reason whenever i do it (and i am doing it right i know that for sure because my friend does it the same exact way as me and it comes out perfect) its not getting as curler as i want it...its kind of stiff...and not curly....is there anyway possible I can get my hair to curl more or am i doing something wrong..plus i have thing hair so maybe thats just it..Curling your hair with a flat iron!!?
    Try using a curling iron or those heating things that are like heating irons but they look like a stick on a handle. Flat irons can curl but they weren't meant for curling and therefore won't give you curlier curls. Curling irons and 'stick on handle heating irons' were made for curling and therefore will give you curliest curls. Or you can use those 'curling cylinders that you put in your hair'Curling your hair with a flat iron!!?
    depending on what kind of Straightener and hair type you have, hold and clamp for longer and also Spray each section of hair with good quality hairspray before curling.


    thin hair? try a thickener? Tresemme 24r body might work as it will also add volume?


    Hope i helped :)
    I have thin hair too and used to have this problem as well. Make sure you always spray a heat protector first so you won't damage your hair and then turn your flat iron on to it's highest setting and wait for it to get reallllyyy hot. Then always curl with the curls turning away from your face it shapes it better. Lastly spray a lot of extra hold hair spray. GOOD LUCK!
    -Wrap it around tighter


    -use hair spray


    - Hold it on the iron longer
    maybe you're straightener isn't good for curling...


    try buying a new one %26amp; see it's heating options.

    How can I curl my hair to get loose curls?

    I curl my hair with a flat iron, how can i curl my hair to get loose curls instead of tight ones.How can I curl my hair to get loose curls?
    wrap it more spaced apartHow can I curl my hair to get loose curls?
    Use sponge curlers, the work great for loose curls??





    I love them leave them in longer for tighter or not so long for wavy curls. There so easy to use I like them better then a curling iron. And they don't damage your hair either. Also make sure your hair is one day dirty the curl will stick longer.
    put big rollers in your hair and let them fall when you take them out.
    well i think u should use gel instesd of hair spair it seems to make it heavier and tighter and use a bigger iron
    after you finish curling them, just comb them through WITH YOUR FINGERS so they loosen up and become wavy instead of little ringlets. Don't use a comb though because it will totally destroy the curls and turn into a mess.

    Well you could use a blow dryer but for me I use a blow dryer then the flat iron which helps alot but i live in florida so its always humid and my hair curls up a littlse since i have natural curly hair and always want to straighten it but try both the blow dryer and the flat iron. If u dont want to use a flat iron use the blow dryer though it doesnt really straighten as good for me. Well good luckHow do i straighten my hair with out a flat iron?
    Huh?
    very carefully if I were u
    You can try blow-drying it straight, but the ends are probably still going to curl up. They have treatments, like perms, that make your hair permanently straight, but they are very harsh and if you have previously colored or permed your hair, there's a good chance that process will make it break off. Your best bet is to flat iron, hon.
    There Are Alot Of Hair Straighting products Out There For Your Hair. My Hair Is Very Wavy, And I Buy A Products Called Sunsilk, It Straighten My Hair. I Also Use The Sunslik Cream As Well It's A Mouse And Cream All In One, So You Get The Affects Of Both.


    You Also Need A Good Hair Brush, Go To Any Dept. Store Where They Have A Wide Selection Of Styling Brushes. I Use A Brush Called Revlon, It Like Tongs With A Brush On Both Ends.
    section off your hair. Then grab a 1/4 of one section taking the flat iron place as close to your roots as possible and slowly pull downwards. Straight down until you get to the ends. Do all sections this way.

    sounds like your hair is baby fine. you need to use products for fine hair.
    put a little bit of jel before putting curling iron or spray on your hair before putting curling iron
    i hear you are supposed to use hair that has not been washed in 24 hours, somehow the natural oils help keep curls locked in, fresh clean hair is actually stripped clean and doesn't cooperate with hair products so well.
    put gel in it and make it ';dirty'; with hairspray before you put them in.


    or get Sally's cool new curlers. they work really good
    Me too!


    I have the same problem!


    When I use any iron, I hairspray my hair LIGHTLY with


    not-so-strong hairspray. Then, I curl my hair like normal,


    and when I'm done, I hairspray it all over again.


    ((Before I do this, I take a shower with Herbal Essences body


    shampoo and conditioner (I don't know what it is called) and after,


    I put in their mousse and blow dry as normal))
    you should try rollers overnight (have shower first) If u put curlers in put jell in first and mabye hairspray after, but NO hairspray before.
    my friend maria is like you.


    try shaking gel into your hair after a shower.
    wait a day after washing it, DON'T condition it, and put in a tiny bit of spray in before you curl it, and lots afterwards..


    hope i helped! x

    How do I keep my hair swoop with a flat iron. Hairstylists and people?

    It's not in layers . It's like in feathertails. I know you have to curl it some kind of way to make a swoop. I have black hairHow do I keep my hair swoop with a flat iron. Hairstylists and people?
    as you straighten it in layers, just when you get to the ends of your hair, instead of pulling down, rotate your hand so your palm's out and you can see the tips of your hair in the straightener. Or once you get to your ends, hold tight and wrap your hair around the straightener like a curling iron but don't keep it like that too long or else your hair will start burning.How do I keep my hair swoop with a flat iron.

    How should I do my hair for crazy hair day tommorow?

    Ok, so tommorow is crazy hair day and I have no idea what to do with my hair. My hair is a little below my shoulder, thick, and a little bit wavy, so what should I do with it? I will do anything except put it in a ponytail or spray hair color on it. I have pretty much any hair appliance you could think of. Curling iron, flat iron, headbands, ect. Any ideas would be great.





    Thanks so Much! %26lt;3How should I do my hair for crazy hair day tommorow?
    maybe add volume to it and then puff it out and curl it really good. then put a hair band that doesnt match your clothes.How should I do my hair for crazy hair day tommorow?
    put it in a pony tail, and then divide that pony tail into two and band it, then divide each one of those into two and band it, and then divide each one of those and band it, etc, etc. Then you'll have one giant net of hair that looks freakin sweet. you could spray paint sections with different colors too.
    Put a water bottle in hair!





    tip your head over and split you hair down the middle. Fill a water bottle up with water (or some kind or liquid) and put it where you split your hair then put your hair so its covering the water bottle. put in a hair tie around the cap of the water bottle. this is a really fun thing to do. and its very easy

    Go to a salon and get a chemical staightener. Then you won't have to buy a flat iron which by the way after using it for a long time can dry out your hair and make it look bad on the ends as it did to mine.Can I straighten my hair without a flat iron?

    Whats a way to straighten your hair hair with no flat iron? i only have a blow dryer.?

    i have wavy hair if there are no ways to straighten hair without flat iron how do you curl it? i dont have a curling i ron but i do have this frizzies stuff that you put in your hair when its damp and i washed and codished my hair with that infusium stuff. thank you!!Whats a way to straighten your hair hair with no flat iron? i only have a blow dryer.?
    What I do to ';scrunch'; my hair (curl it) is take a shower and when i get out, towel dry it and then comb it. Then i take some mousse and put it in my hand and push my hand up into my hair and just do that over and over with my hair and then dry it doing the same motion with my hand but no mousse and then spray it with hair spray!Whats a way to straighten your hair hair with no flat iron? i only have a blow dryer.?
    First:


    After your shower, or when your hair is wet, grab a comb or brush, and brush/comb it a little to get rid of frizzies and some tangles.


    Second:


    Grab your blowdryer and start blowdrying on low all over your head,


    then flip your head down and blowdry on high for a couple minutes


    Third:


    Make sure your hair is about 60% or 75% dry,


    put some frizz serum or detangler on your frizzy prone areas (again)


    And take a brush or round brush and start blowdrying


    Technique:


    Round brush - Roll up hair in round brush while drying with the other hand


    Brush - Brush out section of hair about to be blow dryed and dry that section, repeat over again and again


    Fourth:


    If hair is still wavy take some detangler or infusium and run through hair to be blow dryed again.


    Tips:


    For the best: Use heat protecter with heated products,


    I recommend Dove Heat Protecter Spray (In a red bottle)





    Curling with a flat iron:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sv-JSQbcu鈥?/a>


    It's very simple, and easy! :]
    If you want to straighten it you can use a blow dryer and a large round brush. Divide your hair into four sections. You put product in your damp hair. Then blow dry it using the round brush and pull the hair straight out. Put the brush under the hair and blow dry it as you pull the brush out. Then put the brush over the same area and do the same there. You will need to do each side 3 or 4 times each side.





    If you want to curl your hair you use the same basic technique, except you roll the hair and twirl a few times while blow drying it. If you want smaller curls, then use a smaller brush and smaller sections.


    Good luck hun!

    Curling hair with a flat iron!?

    Yesterday I was at the mall and a woman at a booth was selling flat irons. I already have a great one so i was not interested but then she showed me how to curl with it. Can someone refresh my memory on how to do it?Curling hair with a flat iron!?
    It's better done with a thin flat iron, like the ones that are just a inch or so. You straighten you're hair as usual than at the bottom instead of letting go, leave it and start wrapping your hair with the flat iron. Leave for about 10 seconds or more than uncurl.Curling hair with a flat iron!?
    It's kind of like a curling iron, you just twist your hair around it, or to curl the ends out instead of taking the iron straight down your hair, lift it out and up a little, to add a little curl at the end.
    all you have to do is use it like a regular curling iron. just flip up or down the ends and wrap the hair around the flat iron
    get a good grip at the root and just barely bend for a slight bend - or twist all the way around as you slide the iron down for a tight or springy curl.

    T3 mini flat iron?

    I am thinking about ordering this flat iron but I want to know how well it works. I know it has really cool features like going up to 410 degrees in 10 seconds at highest but is this a good flat iron? Does it curl naturally straight hair easily? I have never been able to curl my hair with a flat iron before because my hair is naturally straight. ThxT3 mini flat iron?
    I love T3 irons. As long as the heat plates have rounded edges you should be able to curl your hair with it. 410 degrees is mega hot so take care to protect your hair first with a heat safe styler so you don't damage it.T3 mini flat iron?
    i would say not to curl your hair with a flat iron. use a curling iron.
    Try a T-1000. Theyre amazing, a futuristic form of liquid metal which can take any shape, including curled hair.





    Just make sure you don't have any connections with John Connor. If you do, and you still want to have a try at these T-1000s, your best bet is to destroy Skynet and the final chip in the T-101.

    What kind of flat iron should I get? I was thinking about a kiyoseki styler, but not sure?

    I'm always worried about my hair and messing with it.





    My hair curls when it gets wet, and it's really frizzy and puffy curls too.





    My flat iron is getting old and I need to buy a new one because I've noticed recently the decrease in it's ability to make it straight at all.





    I want my hair to get almost pin straight, I hate curly hair on me.


    So I need a flat iron that works and doesn't fry my hair or dry it out.





    I heard of the Kiyoseki Styler on TV and I saw some people on here saying it works, but I'm still a little skeptic because it was on an infromercial and I know there are lots of scams on things like that.


    Does it really add shine?


    How well does it straighten your hair?


    Does it help frizzy hair?





    Do you recommend any other flat irons? Where can I get them? How much do they cost?

    I really want to buy either the Corioliss Pro Fix in Pink (1';), or the Corioliss Pro V in Hot Pink (1 1/4';). The only thing that is really making me think about which one to buy is a) the first one doesn't have any heat settings, and the website said it goes to 410 F! (even though when I've bought drugstore brand styling tools, I always have to use the highest setting) and b) The second one is a bit bigger than an inch, and customers say the inch is better for curling hair (which I really want to be able to do).

    4. twist your first section(like what you do when you are bored) and blowdry it, and make sure not to let go. When it's dry, put that section in a bun, and secure it with a clip. Do this to every section.

    Ouch. You're going to burn your hair up with irons. Have you tried velvet covered heated rollers?
    um, try pillow curlers. I have them in right now. You sleep in them and it feels really good. Or just get a perm.
    My hair doesn't curl either. My hair lady said it as because i have such a natural wave to it. Maybe that's yours too?
    How bout this. Take ur hair, and put it into a bun. You know, put on a ponytail, then twist ur hair up, then kinda just ccircle it up and use another hairband to tie it up.Then put on one of those bun cover thingies and either go to sleep like that (cannot sleep on ur back) or go through the day like that and then take off the bun cover and 2nd hairband.


    Well this gives a curly ponytail. It will look a llittle strange if u take everything off, but still curly. If u are going to sleep this way, make sure u put on mousse or gel on the top, side, and back of ur head so in the morning it wont stick out as much.

    *How to create waves out of natural curls using a flat iron?

    I have naturally curly hair, but I'm trying to do something different with my hair. I have a Sedu flat iron, and I'm trying to make waves instead of straightening it, which (if you look at the numerous youtube and other videos) is possible.


    However, when I do it, my hair is so thick that it becomes pretty poofy, but still looks natural. Is there any way to get these ';waves'; (they're more straight than wavy) into a less poofy, more ';wavy'; style?


    Thanks!*How to create waves out of natural curls using a flat iron?
    You should try blowdrying your hair with a round brush after showering, and then running the flat iron through to make it straight. Use a heat protection spray, as this process is rough on your hair.





    Your hair will now be straight and less ';poofy';. Run some wave activating product through your hair, and NOW put the waves in your hair.

    How do I curl my hair with a flatiron?

    My bestfriend's sister got her hair curled using a flatiron for dance line. It looked so pretty. The curls were much more elegant than using a curling iron. I have a CHI flat iron just like this:http://www.freewebs.com/hairbeautychi/ch鈥?/a>

    i think you should go to stylist for the first time and then do it your self after that

    Should i curl my hair with a curling iron or a flat slim hair straightner?

    So i wanted to curl my hair for my 18th birthday party in 2 weeks, ive seen my hair dresser curl girls' hair before with a flat slim ceremic straightner, apparently it lasts longer? i tried it myself and wasnt very successful. Do you think i should just go with using an actual curling iron (cos i have both a ceremic straightner and a ceremic curler) or can someone show/explain to me how to do with with the straightner?


    Also how can i keep the curls from dropping out for the whole day, ive used hair spray to hold it, but it often makes my hair look oily/greasy.. any ideas?Should i curl my hair with a curling iron or a flat slim hair straightner?
    Making curls with a straightener is easy! Just grab the top of your hair with the straightener and twist until you make about 3 rotations and pull down. the faster you pull, the tighter the curl... check out this youtube video for help...Should i curl my hair with a curling iron or a flat slim hair straightner?
    If you're not very experienced with using a hair straightener for curling, defs go for the curler. It'll be much easier for you. What type of hair spray are you using? Cheap brands don't have much hold factor and hold to much grease. I recommend the hairspray Bedhead by TIGI makes. Look it up on the site. Hope this helps.

    i agree, i think if u will be doing your hair then unless you are very expirienced you should use a curling iron. Using a hair staightner does last longer but if you dont know the technies that makes it very hard.gud luk!!!!!
    buy tresemme's Curl Activator Spray. Best cheap hair product ive ever used. give each strand a spritz before you curl it with the curling iron. really helps it to hold.

    From what I hear, its all in your wrist. I do believe you have to take small pieces of hair at a time. If you have a youtube account, search for it on there. Its a certain way you turn your wrist is all I know.

    Curling your hair with flat iron?! ?

    i was on youtube, and found all these videos like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9iwZ9uP_3


    telling me how to curl my hair with a flat iron, but in all of the videos (that I've seen) they are using a 2'; flat iron. I have like a 3 inch (not sure... But it’s a lot bigger than the 2'; ones) or 4'; flat iron, and I was just wondering if I can still use this technique to curl my hair?





    Thanks!Curling your hair with flat iron?! ?
    They all have an 1 inch. 2 inch makes really, really loose curls. Curling your hair with flat iron?! ?
    They're all using 1'; ones and there are no such things as 3 or 4'; ones, that would be too wide.

    How often can I use my flat iron?

    My hair is really short right now, and Im currently growing it out. I shampoo once at night, and condition it every morning, all with Pantene extra straight shampoo and conditioner, but it curls on the ends, so I use my flat iron about 5 days a week, I do have a heat protectant spray that I spray on my hair, but I just dont want to dry my hair out, how often can I flat Iron it? my iron is ceramic.


    Please let me know.


    Thanks.How often can I use my flat iron?
    You can ask ur stylist!! Or if u want my opinion, u can use it everyday, but always put something on it before u do so , so u protect ur hair!!


    But, that's just what my sisiter says, so u deciede if u can trust me or not? Hope I helped!!!! Good Luck, I hope i don't make ur hair fall out, an cause ur hair to fall out! LOLHow often can I use my flat iron?
    It depends on how healthy your hair is. if its really thin or has a lot of breakage then i would advise you not use the flatiron more than once every four days. As long as you use a straightening serum on your hair before you flatiron you should be okay for the most part. I would advise you use Biolage smoothing serum, Biosilk heat protector, or Silky sexy hair frizz eliminator. All very good. You can go to any Beauty salon and buy these products and maybe even get introduced to others. The damage that comes from flatironing your hair can also come from your flatiron. if you have normal to thick hair i would advise that it heat up to about 450, and ceramic is very good :) if it does not heat up to as much you might have to repeatedly flatiron one particular section which can in turn will cause more damage. So you can flatiron every day, but if you notice some problems just do it when you want to have the straight-look ;) oh and btw, don't ever buy a product that says sold in salons only in a regular drug store or supermarket... they're probably contaminated. Good luck!!

    CURLING WITH A FLAT IRON?

    Ok so a lot of the thin (like 1';) straighteners are also said to be used for curling your hair. I just purchased a ULTRA CHI 1'; %26amp; was wondering if anyone has tried to do it %26amp; how it works. its definetly good for flipping the bottom of your hair, ive tried that. how does the curling work? what do you do? also....anyone else have this flat iron? Its an ULTRA CHI 1';, red, %26amp; it came with a pouch to carry it in %26amp; a lil bottle of the silk infusion! that made me happy. lol. it was like $159.00


    Thanks guys!CURLING WITH A FLAT IRON?
    I have used my chi straigtener to curl my hair and it works and looks greatt!..i dont think its the ultra but it shouldnt make a difference. a lot of my friends think its hard to do it..but its actually really easy once you get the hang of it. all you have to do is clamp your hair as if you were straightening it and then use both of your hands to twist/rotate it around. it should create a good curl..if its too spiral for you, you can lightly straighten it and it should ease it down. you also want to do a larger chunk of hair because if you do a lot of little ones, it might look funny!! haha and once your done make sure you separate the curls so it looks natural! :) good luck!CURLING WITH A FLAT IRON?
    Wow, this will be hard to explain but will try my best. Grab small sections of your hair. Start half way, place the hair in the flat iron, then begin twisting while working yourself down the ends. Walk into any beauty supply store that sells flat irons the sales rep should be able to show you how. That's what I did %26amp; now I curl my hair all the time with a flat iron (works much better than a curling iron). Looks great!
