Take a small section about the size of the one I am holding.
To start curling, place the flat iron about 3/4 of the way up the strand. Close the flat iron and twist it away from your face one time, then pull it slowly down the rest of the hair strand while it's still clamped shut.
Your curl should look similar to this one, but if it doesn't, these tips might help: *If your curl doesn't look this curly: slide the flat iron more slowly down the hair strand, giving it more time to get each part of the hair hot enough. You can also try taking a smaller section. Flat iron curls also work best on clean, smooth hair. If there is too much product or if it's too tangled it won't curl as well. *If your curl is only curled at the very ends: Spend more time curling at the top of the strand than at the ends. I always hold the flat iron longer at the top because I want to make sure it's curled. *If your curls are kinked: Your gripping the flat iron closed too tightly. You don't need to grip it really tight to get it to curl. Try holding it closed a little more softly.
Finish curling the remainder of your hair.
Once all of the hair is curled, use a pick to gently comb through the curls.
Finish by running pomade or serum through the ends.
