hey you all! We all love multi purpose items right? I'll admit it... I DO! I love the fact that my brown matte eyeshadow can be used as eyeshadow, brow powder bronzer and contouring... hahaha... so here is a tip on using your flat iron as a curling iron...
I know... old news... someone is gonna say, "we're not into flat irons no more... we are into clipless curling irons." Well, I have news for you... "Whatever!" lol... you use whatever floats your boat! and mines is a flatiron...
Seriously... about a year after the "flat iron" was out I was still not using it because I didn't know how to... curling my hair with it that is... (I have naturally straight hair and could careless if I have a slight kinky wave to it.)
Until around Christmas time a couple years back... my family we flew to my hometown CA~ and my sisters wouldn't let me bring my fav. curling iron... (I took an extra pair of shoes instead.) I was forced to learn! the first time using it was pretty much a FAIL! even my guy cousin said so... he said, "you should tie ALL your hair."
SO ENOUGH BLABING... here is your tip!
First things first... PROTECT YOUR HAIR!!! use a heat product... if you are picky, pick whatever expensive nice smellin hot product you have... I love the cheapy Suave one... it smells so good!
there are two ways your curl can curl... first one is curling outwards away from your face, the second one is curling inwards towards your face...
*if you want your curl to curl outwards, then you have to make sure that the "tail" of your hair is closet to your chin/ on the inside (picture # 1&3).
*if you want your curl to curl inwards, then you have to make sure that the "tail" of your hair is closet to your shoulders/ on the outside (picture # 2&4)
that's it... simple as that... not hard right?
the one I am using here is an old Remington one... I really love this one because the heated plates part is really long... it's rare to find one like that... I have many flat irons but I have yet to find a longer one like this... if you know of one please let me know so I can check it out...
Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.
