[: Nifty Flat Iron Stuff :]

((this one has 1/2" plates. my big one has 1" plates))
((I don't have the big 3" plates or whatever they are))

OK, I don't really need to straighten my hair, cuz it's pretty straight as is... but a flat iron can be VERY versatile!

So I've found a few videos on how to do curls, zig-zags, and more stuff to your hair with a flat iron on youtube.com. Some I like more than others. I'll post a few so you guys can look at them & see which way you like more.

Here is one way to curl your hair. You do this thing where you put the hair in the iron and wrap it around... if you watch it, it makes sense. (this is the way I've been doing it)

Here is antoher way to do curls. You only turn it 90 degrees instead of like 360 or whatever that other one is...

Here is a funky zig-zag type thing by the same guy as the 90 degree curling.

This one is a cute Asian girl showing you how to crimp your hair!

Here is a way to do "crimp waves" as she calls them.

These are kinda "mermaid waves" ...they aren't big or anything... it's a kinda messy beachy look.

This one doesn't really involve the straightener that much, but she does use it a little bit. It's these messy waves that she does. It's cute, and I liked it. So that's why it's on here. ;)

It's weird how much you can do with a flat iron! Lol.. Sad thing is, my hair will curl a lot better with the flat iron technique than with an actual curling iron. :\

There are some ways I found to get wavy looks with NO HEAT!!! Kinda like that last one I have on here. I'm sure you could find them and MANY other types on youtube! (I swear you can find just about anything there!!)

ENJOY!



PS. It might be a good idea to get some of that heat protection spray stuff. Maybe even pomade or whatever. It's up to you. I just use the heat protection spray (got it at walmart). And shampoo that my hair likes (Suave). It doesn't go all frizzy from it. :]
