I tried to make a video for you guys but my memory card sucks and I suck at explaining things. Here are a bajillion stills instead.
I use this straightener.
First, get some hair.
Then ready your straightener.
Instead of straightening your hair, you're going to turn it inwards so your hair makes a U-shape with the straightener.
Then slide the straightener down.
Do it over...
and over...
and over...
and over...
and over.
Wavy result.
Where the magic [hair] happens. (The pile of books and my jewelry box were to prop my camera. I don't read that much.)
Ahhhh! So that is how, I love this! Thanks so much!!
ReplyDeleteI do this too but with a 1-1/4" curling iron. Same results, you think? I like how yours turns out!
ReplyDeletecute! I love wavy hairstyles, should really curl my hair again, it's so much fun to wear it in different do's! Thanks!

My hair is naturally curly as in Goldilocks-curly so if I wanted it to be just wavy then I will straighten it first then do this. Good thing for you, you have a nice straight hair :-) I'm envious hehe. Love these pics btw so it's okay if it's not a video.
ReplyDeletewow... with a U shape only? I knew other way that I learnt from a youtube tutorial and it's harder to do, but you get almost curls! well done!! gonna try it tomorrow!!!

i have naturally curly hair and i do the exact same thing to end up with wavy hair. love flat irons!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing! Hope when I do it my hair turns out as nice as yours :-)
ReplyDeleteAWESOME that you're starting to do tutorials. unfortunately i couldn't really understand the steps very well T.T looks great though! :)
ReplyDeleteYour hair is beautiful even when you don't do anything! Love the tutorial - definitely going to have to try it but I don't know how it'd work with my super long hair.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry, happy birthday!! We love this blog

Hmmm I've always wondered how girls curl their hair with straighteners. Good to know, since my curling iron just broke ha.
ReplyDeleteI think you read, otherwise you wouldnt be so smart =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tutorial! I liked it, esp. the over, and over, and over.... etc. part =P
I think your hair looks really nice wavy, but I absolutely love it when its pinned up too =)

This is a great tutorial! Sometimes I try to use my straightener for waves when I only want to bring one heating tool with me on travel. I need more practice though, you've got it down right!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog!!! I signed up for the shopstyle, but am having trouble getting it figured out. Can you do a post on using it?
So Cute! I naturally wavy hair already, but i love doing this the day after I've straightened it to jazz it up again! A few tips I've learned learned over the years are...
ReplyDelete1. Take 1/2- 1 1/2in sections from from the bottom and work your way up.
2. Always use a thermal protection spray(Kenra has 2 awesome ones) on each layer.this will help the wave stay in better if you have super fine hair as well as protecting your hair.
3. After you're done, scrunch your hair with a light hairspray or texture spray. You will get more of a beachy look that way : ) Hope i didn't ramble too much!
aw cute!!! love wavy hair. :)
ReplyDeleteso pretty! xx

pop by and say hi! :)
I love curling my hair like this, but I can never get mine to turn out as nice as yours looks! How do you curl the back by yourself?
ReplyDeleteyour hair looks really nice. love it. I already have the etremely curly hair. I just learned that it can be a good thing. And up-do looks good without doing anything.

Do you curl the under-layers also? I couldn't tell if you just did the top or not. Because I want my hair to APPEAR longer sometimes I straghten the entire thing (naturally not-cute curly hair) then only curl the top layers. I am on a mission to grow mine out.
ReplyDeleteHey Kally! I do but half-heartedly so they usually get curled at the ends.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, before and after both look great.
ReplyDeletemy hair is curly!!! but i loveeeee big big curlys.... just whit this example... i cant to do!!!!

ReplyDeleteThanks!

somehow i just can't manage to do this myself. i need more practice i suppose...
ReplyDeleteCool! I had wondered about that and how long it took to get it wavy. Do you put any product in your hair to help make the waves stay?
ReplyDeleteLorispeak
Thats awesome, and totally works! i have curly hair, but i use a curling iron to straiten it! the otherside of the crazy hair coin.
ReplyDeleteum i was wondering, if ever you get the chance, im trying to figure out the html or w/e to link diy, outfits post etc, to the "pages" link at the top of my blog. you know what i mean? anyways yours is coming along nicely and i thought maybe you could give me a heads up?
happy wednesday!
I wish I could do this with my hair! It doesn't work in mine =(
ReplyDeleteI will absolutely be trying this tomorrow. Thanks so much for the tutorial -- this seems a lot easier than having to use my ancient curling iron.
ReplyDeleteI just read your "no copy & paste policy" and im floored. you are a BLOGGER not an AUTHOR. and I am sorry, but you are a BITCH.
ReplyDeleteThe idea is really when you get to Gucci Watches like a tourbillon reason loses a lot of meaning. Art is what makes sense and here Alain Silberstein is having fun (like he always does). Not everyone is a fan of his aesthetic -Armani watches that is OK. I believe design aesthetics Cheap BMW Watches such as his are meant to be polarizing. In the Black Storm watch is a manually wound tourbillon based movement Cheap Rolex Watches that I believe are exclusive to his pieces. He doesn't make the movements, but no one else has them.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to try this! Thanks!
