its called a straightener for a reason, so use a curling iron
Er, you're supposed to use a CURLER to curl your hair!


Straighteners make your hair straight!
its kinda hard to explain without actually showing you. go on youtube and search for a video.





but basically you get those kinks because your jerking the iron. like, not running it through your hair smoothly.
get your hair wet and use the straightener. make sure you use it like a real curler.
I believe you close it and then wrap the hair around the whole straightener correct?
ummm.....you don't. The only curl you could give it is a little flip at the bottom if you have a really thin straightener, and that is just to give it body. there is no way to curl your hair with a straightener
You start from where you want the curl to start from the scalp and then you roll your straightener while pulling it down on a vertical angle. Keep it together with hair spray...you should also put hair lotion or hair wax before you start to keep the form.
Hiya


if you type it in on youtube


there will be demo's


i tried it


but if u carnt do that


clasp the hair at the top and kind of twist the starightner and just pull down


im not very good at explaining


soo it will probably be better on youtube :)
i've seen it done before. you i believe wrap it around the flat.


i'm not sure though
make sure its a really thin straightener. and make sure you're always moving the iron at a consistent slow pace. keeping it in one place for too long gives it those kinks.





Heres an article that might help:

For all you doubters, it is possible. I do it all the time- it gives more natural waves then a curling iron.
ok, u should comb ur hair first and straighten ur hair, after uve done that take ur straighter, clamp it on a section of your hair, curl it in once so a different side of the straightner is against ur head, and pull it pull it down! tada!
well stupid try using at curler!!!!

Make sure you have a small base, it will curl better then an iron that is wide.Maybe 2';. Put the hair between the 2 plates and like a curling iron,turn the hair under (or over) and keep it turned as you go down the the shaft. When you get to the end, use it just like a curling iron and put the hair around it.Small,thin sections and small base iron.
It is a STRAIGHTENER so just buy a curling iron
YOU DON'T! It is called a straightner for a reason! To straighton yoru hair! If you want to curl it try using a curling iron! :)

Great videos! :] Good luck
First, get a section of hair that is about the same width as your flat iron.


Make sure that your sectioned hair is smooth without any 'flyaways'


Next, starting at the top of the section pull the iron through in a smooth, fluid motion going slow enough to actually smooth the hair, but not so slow that you are burning your hair.


The trick is to pull the iron straight out instead of toward your face or to the back or whatever. Just pull the iron straight out away from your head.


When you get to the end of the section, twist the flat iron so that your hair gets curled (entwined), hold for just a few seconds and let go.


AFTER the hair cools give it a hairspray spritz


Voila! you have a nice curl.


ps....... you might want to look into products made to protect your hair from the heat and provide 'hold'
use curler not straightner. you can borrow my curler.
