- Hey, everyone, Kayley here
with an easy way to get flat iron curls
that doesn't involve the annoying twist and pull situation
so I think it will make the whole curling your hair
with a flat iron process way better for you.
So that being said, let's get into it.
So today, I'm gonna use the T3 SinglePass Luxe Iron
because it has beveled plates
and they're also flexible so they bend with your hair
and that just means that it's going to glide
a lot smoother through your hair
while you're trying to curl it.
I'm also gonna grab a little bit of heat protectant spray.
This one is the Crystal Shine and Hold by Schwarzkopf.
It adds a little bit of shine and a little bit of hold
which I am never gonna say no to.
So I'm gonna show you this with the iron off.
I encourage you to practice with the iron off
and then do it once you feel like you got the hang of it.
This method is gonna be a lot like wrapping your hair
around a curling iron.
If you were to curl this piece of hair with a curling iron,
you would just wrap it around
until it heats up and then it would be done.
It's gonna be similar with this but it's a flat iron.
So you're gonna put the flat iron at your root.
For the front of the iron,
you're gonna wrap it around like it's a curling wand
then when you get to the back,
just pull it through the plates,
clip them together and then slide it through
and then whichever way you wrap the hair around the iron
is the way the curl's gonna go.
So I'm wrapping away from my face,
bringing it through the plates,
clipping it and then sliding it through.
If you want it to go towards your face,
it's the same principle.
Put it at your root, wrap it toward your face,
pull it through the plates, clip and slide
and that's the method.
So now that you got the idea,
let's show it with the iron on.
So starting with our section,
wrap, pull, clip and slide.
I always give it a little twist at the end
and there you go.
Okay, so there is the bottom half.
Now, I'll do the top half.
Boom.
Now, a little helpful tip from me to you
is that no matter how good your flat iron is,
if you are clamping these plates together,
it's gonna be really hard
to glide the iron through your hair
because you're literally grabbing the hair
with the flat iron.
So my advice, keep it loose.
You can have them just closed or even a little bit open.
The heat's still gonna be on your hair.
It's still gonna curl your hair
but it's gonna make your life a lot easier
than if you're just like ergh,
grabbing onto the hair with that flat iron
because that just makes it really difficult.
On a side note, something else I really love
about this flat iron
is that it has ceramic and tourmaline mixed in the plates
that actually seals your cuticle as you're using it
so your hair is a little healthier
and a little shinier after you use it.
That's something I really love about T3.
Keep your hair healthy but styled.
There's the first side done.
Gotta do the next side.
On this side, it's the exact same principle.
You're gonna wrap your hair either away
or toward your face depending on what you want to do.
I feel like I really actually enjoy doing flat iron curls
now that I figured out this method
whereas before it was always kinda like eh.
I didn't really love it.
Okay, so if you wanted to do it towards your face,
just to show you guys 'cause I have kind of alluded to it
but so you guys can see how it works.
If I had a curling iron,
I'd be wrapping it this way to wrap it toward my face
so it's the same principle.
Iron's open.
Step one, wrap it around the front.
Step two, pull it through the plates.
Step three, clip.
Step four, slide.
Le curl.
And I'm just gonna leave it there.
We'll just have one random curl
going the opposite of everybody else.
Always be that curl,
the curl that's just doing its own thing, loving life.
Be that curl.
PS, it really helps if you brush this first.
I feel like some of you guys might ask me
if you can do this on short hair.
The answer is absolutely yes.
You can see here
I have this really short piece of hair next to my face.
It curled just as well as everything else.
It's like my ear length.
So yes, absolutely, you can do this on short hair.
Okay and last one.
(singing)
And there we go, flat iron curls.
I'm gonna break these up a little bit with my fingers
or you can just shake them out.
Just do this number, same thing.
Then I'm gonna hit my roots with a little bit
of this Ouai Texturizing Hair Spray.
This adds a little bit of volume and texture
so I'm just using it at my roots
because I have fine, flat hair
and I will take all the volume and texture that I can get.
Then finishing off with some Ouai Soft Hair Spray.
I'm just going to spritz this onto my hair
and then scrunch
because I think that accentuates the curl really nicely.
So just spritz, spritz, spritz, spritz, spritz and scrunch.
And that is it for these flat iron curls.
I hope you guys give it a try
'cause I find it so much easier
than that whole twist and flip situation.
This method really works for me
and I actually really enjoy it.
So give it a try.
See if it makes your life easier too.
I have one extra little bonus for you guys.
