How To: Curl Hair with a Flat Iron

This weekend, my bud Anne said to me, "I still haven't figured out how to curl my hair with my flat iron!" So I ended up giving her an in-home tutorial. Later that weekend, I got to meet a fellow blogger Amber, who also requested that I do a tutorial on the blog on how I get my curls. Perfect blog post material, if I don't say so myself.

There are endless amounts of tutorials on YouTube on how to do this (heck, YouTube is how I learned to do this), but I hope mine can speak to my readers and friends who make this blog a daily stop. If for any reason I didn't leave you with enough information, by all means, get on YouTube and watch others' tutorials.

Hope you find this useful!

How To: Curl Hair with a Flat Iron

I know you appreciated the fast forward bits and editing. I babble a lot, so I skimped it down for ya.


Do any of you curl your hair this way? What other things do you do?

Have a happy Thursday!


p.s. I'm NOT hosting Passing Notes tomorrow. Too much going on with the house! We close and move next week!! And I think it would be better to do this every other / every two weeks. If you already planned on it, feel free to post a note and I'll be around to admire it. :)

ok, so you just rocked this video and made it look super easy.

i think i'm most impressed with your video making skills with the music and editing and when you move really fast ;)

I do curl my hair with my flat iron sometimes.. But the curls never stay cuz my hair sucks! :(

Katie said...

My hair is naturally wavy, so I always use the flat iron to "fix" pieces. Love it!! I think it looks like a more natural curl than with a curling iron.

Great video! With the current humidity, I can't straighten my hair so I've been curling with the flat iron EVERY day. It's actually pretty fun! :)

I love doing my hair like this! When it was a little above my sholders it was frusterating though because some of curls would stop mid-curl and kinda stick out the side of my head...haha, I can't wait for my hair to get a liiittle longer!

Amber said...

I love Meg in fast motion, hilarious!

I can't wait to try this. Oh, I also go gel eyeliner that I haven't tried yet. I forgot to tell you! :)

Lazy Mondays said...

It looks amazing! I am definitely trying this tomorrow, my hair NEVER holds a curl. Thanks for posting!

Michelle said...

I love it! It looks so good! I definitely need to try this!

Thanks for sharing :)

Emily said...

Stumbled upon you and I JUST curled my hair with my flat iron today! I do it a little differently than you do, but same results basically.

I was getting nervous for your hair w/how long you're able to hold it in the flat iron. Mine would have burned off w/the one I use, I think. haha

Looked cute!

I use hot rollers. I love them because I can just stick them in and then piddle around the house.

Amy said...

I love your vlogs ahha - I really like your new hair colour too!!

Hello! New follower from Dallas! :) Thanks for posting this -- I was trying to figure this out last week. Was scared to leave my hair in the flat iron too long and turn out like Meg on Little Women!

Heather said...

Very neat! I had no idea I could curl with my CHI. I will have to try this!!! Yours looked great! My hair is VERY thick,so usually I just us hot rollers and it's really curly,but big ones. It looks nothing like yours and that is what I would like for it too. :) Thank you!!

Ok, so I just bought a curling flat iron today at a mall kiosk and I have been trying to get it down, have watched at least 10 Youtube videos and it's almost midnight but I saw your video and I HAD to try it. IT WORKED!!! Thank you for making it so simple and understandable. I felt like a complete idiot not being able to do it and here I am going to bed with the most beautiful waves EVER :) You rock! Thanks again.
