Update & Creating Curls with a Straightener

Well, it has been quite a long time since I have posted!  No bueno. :(  Since last updating my blog, I found myself extremely busy with school and work throughout most of the rest of 2012 and early 2013.  But, after leaving my job to focus on school, I finally have some time to dedicate to what I love most, gushing about style and beauty!

I had always wanted to try video tutorials, and finally got to it!  Without further ado, I present to you my first ever video blog on how to create curls with a hair straightener!

Just as a summary, I'd like to say that curling your hair with a straightener does take practice.  But, once you get it down it's more than worth it because it's much less of a hassle than using a curling iron.

Some of the more important tips are:
 - Select 1-2inch sections to curl, and make sure they have been brushed & sprayed with heat protectant.
- Clamp down, then slowly glide the hair through while turning the actual straightener in a circular, downward motion.
- Curl some sections towards your face and some away from your face for more natural looking curls.
- If  loose curls are what you're going for brush through the curls either right away, or after curling an entire side.
- If you want tighter, bouncier curls, do not brush through with a brush or comb, just use your fingers to detangle and separate curls.
- Teasing is optional.
- If you don't want your entire bangs to be curled, curl the ends away from your face.
