How To Curl Hair With Flat Iron?

Start with dry, fully detangled hair

Apply heat protectant to all hair

Divide hair into sections (clip top layers up)

Set flat iron to the lowest effective temperature for your hair type

Take a 1–2 inch section of hair

Clamp the flat iron near the roots (avoid pulling the hair)

Twist the flat iron 180–360 degrees away from your face

Keep tension on the hair and slowly glide the iron down the length

Release the curl and let it cool in place

Repeat on each section, alternating twist direction for a natural look

For tighter curls, use smaller sections and twist more

For looser waves, use larger sections and fewer twists

Once all sections are curled, let hair cool completely

Gently separate curls with fingers or a wide-tooth comb

Set with light hairspray for hold
