Here are the steps,



1. Heat up your curling iron.



2. When it's hot, take a small strand of your hair



3. Take it and straighten it smooth first



4. Then take it again and theis time Curl the iron once



5. DON'T UN-CURL THE IRON!



6. Smooth it down slowly, [with the iron still curled once]



Fact:

The faster you smooth it down, the less curly it will be.



7. when it's done, Release the iron from your hair,



8. Let it cool at least 30 secounds when it's curled



9. Repeat the steps from 1 though 8 if you want to curl another one



Good luck!!How do i curl my hair with a hair straightener?
you cant
hah, thats funny, are u seriouss??
Umm yah people lie in those comercails and they are illusions my best frinds mom is a hair dresser in the states and she knows it doesn't work they do it to persuade you into buying more money. Don't beleive all of those comercials and vidoes you see and or hear.
Hey, ignore what Ultra dumb something said, that person is a complete jerk! UGH!



Anyways, I don't really think that you can do that without it looking funny...sorry....
twist it around your hair ant then pull down
start near the roots of your hair, grab a section as big as you want a single curl to be.

dont squeeze the straightener together too tight so it wont pull your hair.

i think the best angle to hold the straightener at is somewhere in the middle of completely vertical and horizontal... diagonal usually works.

rotate the straightener in the direction you want the curls to go. use both hands to keep rotating it completely.

slowly pull the straightener down your hair while youre rotating. the trick is doing both at the same time. if you stop rotating, that part of your hair will just be straight.
I have no idea how to do that/if it's possible but in my opinion it seems really improbable. If it is possible I'd think it would take a lot more time and just using a curling iron.



I bought a curling iron at Target for about $15 and it works GREAT! So, maybe, think about investing in one. Conair and Revlon are usually pretty good bets. :) Also, you can always return it if you find out you dislike it and try another (or not). I just think that would be your best investment both money wise and time wise.



Hope I helped and good luck! :)
all you do is put the straightner at the root of your hair and slowly pull it down tilll there is enough room to turn it towards your head.. you will turn it counter clockwise towards your head while pulling down.. it takes a while to get the hang of it but it looks really cute.. the slower you pull down the tighter the curls.. hope i could help
K people are stupid. It IS POSSIBLE TO CURL YOUR HAIR WITH A STRAIGHTENER. wow.



Don't listen to them.

You CAN curl your hair with a flat iron.

And I actually prefer it to a curling iron.



Well, I curl my hair with a 1/2 inch flat iron. My hair is a little bit passed my shoulders in length.



Basically you can curl your hair with any size flat iron as long as your hair is long enough. You need to wrap a peice of your hair all the way around the flat iron, so as long as it can make one complete rotation, you can use it to curl your hair.



Remember: The smaller the flat iron is, the tighter the curls will be. The bigger the flat iron, the looser the waves. Also, the faster you go, the looser the waves. The slower you go the tighter the curls.



It is very very hard to explain, so I'm not even going to bother to try because I know you won't understand what I'm saying.

So here is a video:

okay...well start at the root of your hair and pull straight down, depending on where you want the curl or ';bump'; to start, start rotating the straightening iron under towards the nape of you neck extending down until you get to the tip of your ends. hold for about 3 seconds to ensure a good smooth curl. it helps if you do your hair in sections meaning part your hair in 3 or 4 sections and curl a small piece of hair at a time instead of curling large clumps of hair. depending on your hair type you may want to use a heat protector to ensure minimal breakage. this is good for a quick and easy hair do. my best advice is to invest in either a set of curling irons (large, medium, and small) or buy magnetic rollers and when you wash your hair roll it, sit under the dryer and you can hold onto that curl for at least a week without worrying about curling it everyday.
i personally think using a straightener is easier and workse better. here is how i did it:



1. You just ';take a small section of hair and place the iron towards the root of your hair.

2. With your other hand, wrap the section of hair once around the iron and slowly drag the iron through your hair [ similar to the way you would curl a ribbon with scissors.]

3. After the iron is all the way pulled through your hair, use your fingers to twirl the hair into a curl.

4. Separate the curls with your fingers 鈥揫but do NOT brush them out ]
at the end of ur tips just twirl it
