Are you looking for an easy and effortless way to curl your short hair? With a few simple steps, you can learn how to curl your hair with just a hair straightener!
Whether you’re trying out new hairstyles or switching up your look, this fast and cost-effective method will give you some great results. Get ready to rock beautiful curls without having to buy additional styling tools like curling irons or wands!
Here is a picture of my favorite products. I've recommended a 1" ceramic flat iron, a heat protectant, and a texture spray - just to name a few! Head to my blog for more details.
The best tip for prepping your hair is to apply your heat protectant and a little bit of dry shampoo. The dry shampoo will remove excess oil and give your hair volume and body on top of your head before you start.
I get the best results when I separate my shorter hair into top and bottom layers. Then I start curling one-inch pieces in phases. You can usually do more two layers for curls on short hair.
Point your flat iron tip away from your face and take a small section of hair in the middle. Bring the flat iron to the top of the hair piece close to your scalp. Begin turning the flat iron slowly away from your face.
Work your way from the left to the middle. Then work the right to the center with the curling iron facing away from your face. Let the curls cool as we move on to style your hair on the next layer.
On the top layer of hair, we are going to repeat the same process... but the placement of the flat iron when we start will be slightly lower down the head, not as close to the scalp.
