Easy flat iron(hair straightener) waves for in-between washe

Easy flat iron(hair straightener) waves for in-between washes. Takes me five minutes and requires very little skill 🙋🏼‍♀️ Let me know if you’d like to see any other bob hair styling tips or tricks? - take random sections and use the flat iron to twist the hair away from your face in a curling/twisting motion. Don’t hold the irons on the hair for too long to avoid curly sue ringlets. - take the remaining straight sections and use the irons to bend the hair back and forth to create more of a wave. - wait for hair to cool and brush it out, add a bit of hair spray and a serum or oil for shine. #hairwaves #beachywaves #bobhaircut #bobstyling #bobhair

I’ve been teaching flat iron curls for almost 10 years now. It’s still my preferred method of curling on 90% of my clients. My really fine haired clients I’ll grab a curling iron occasionally. I’m using my babylisspro nano titanium primo 3100 1 inch iron. The plates are titanium which holds the heat all around better and it glides through the hair like a dream! I’ve been using this iron for almost 5 years now and I won’t use anything else #flatironcurls #hairtutorial #beachy #waves

Loose Flat Iron Curls 💫 Do your flat iron curls look too bouncy and outdated? Try this. 1. When using your flat iron, split your hair into two curl sections instead of one. Carefully watch how I did it here. It makes a longer, leaner and less ringlet-shaped curl. 2. Pull the hair down when it’s still hot. Hair is very malleable when it’s hot and it will respond to whatever you do with it the most when it’s in that state. SAVE this to refer to later. Follow for more hair & makeup tips and tricks. #bobhaircut #howtowaveyourhair #bobhairstyles #bobhairstyle #bobhaircuts #bluntbob #bluntbobhaircut #bluntbobcut #styleyourbob

Part 3 of some hair tutorials… curling my hair for some waves with my flatiron A good way to practice using a flat iron to put waves in your hair, is by using your flat iron with no heat to practice. This allows you to practice how to hold your iron and how to twist it without having to worry about burning your hair. Once you get a hang of holding it and using it on your hair then try it using a lower temperature at first. Work your way up to a temperature that works for your hair. Also remember it all depends on the way you hold your iron will reflect the type of curl you get @t3micro single pass flat iron @prose hair oil @keunehaircosmetics spray wax REMEMBER…EMBRACE THE BEAUTY OF YOUR WRINKLES 🌻 #FILTERFREE
