How to Curl Your Hair with a Straightener

The benefit of using a straightener to curl your hair as opposed to a curler is that it creates less of a ringlet but a more relaxed curl. The curls also tend to last a really long time, so there are no worries about your hair going flat during the evening!

• Separate your hair into sections starting with curling the bottom layer
• Brush your hair through, knots will prevent the styler from moving through your hair seamlessly
• Apply heat protectant, concentrating on the middle section of your hair
• Take a section of hair about an inch thick and wrap it once around your styler
• Turn the straightener over until the hair is coming straight down again 
• Then slowly run it through the hair to where you'd like the curl to finish and pull it away from your hair
• Give the section a twist with your fingers
• And there you have your first curl!
• Repeat the above steps throughout the rest of your hair
• Use a hairspray to complete the look

Once you get the hang of this it's really quite easy to do! Let us know how you get on :)
