Brush hair to remove tangles
Plug in the straightener and set a medium heat

Clamp a section near the roots
Twist the straightener away from your face
Slowly glide it down the hair shaft while keeping the twist
Release the hair at the ends
Let the curl cool in your hand

Let curls cool fully before touching
