Curling Hair with a Straightener???

My grad pictures are tommorow and I wanted to curl my hair. But I don't own a curling iron. So, I was wondering if you could curl your hair with a straightner. How could you do it to get the best results? My straightner heats up to 200 and is designed by Innovia if it helps. Answers are apreciated!Curling Hair with a Straightener???
If you can, go to the Dollar store and get Got2be curlvascious spray





or something like it





or you can just use hairspray





get a 1 to 1 and 1/4 inch section of hair, clasp it, then turn and KEEP TURNING





voila!


repeat








if you don't want your curls to group together to form one huge curl, twist the hair the opposite way


twist it outwards


then get another section of hair, and twist it toward your neck (but don't burn yourself)Curling Hair with a Straightener???
yes you can do it!


it's pretty simple,


just turn it on, place it on a piece of hair at the top just like you were going to straighten it..


and instead of bringing it down like you would to straighten,


curl it around the straightener


(doesn't make sense? go to www.youtube.com and type in: curling hair with a straightener or something along the lines of that, and there are tons of tutorial-videos that show you EXACTLY what to do and it's so so so easy!)
I wanna know too, just in case I felt like having curly hair for a day. :]

It is possible and easy. Once you bring the straightener down to the bottom of your hair, roll the straightener up like you would a curling iron and hold it there for half a minute or so, then let go genly

here you go =]


it explains it well. and there are a billion other videos too to explain.
yes you can!! i've done it before, but it was a skinny straighter. i think a skinny straighter works better than an actual curling iron because the heat settings are higher than a curling iron. so you can curl your hair faster. if you use the straighter, just treat it as a curling iron and it should work!!
They're called ';hollywood curls'; when you use a flat iron to straighten your hair.





They look better than tacky spiral curls i think. Definately more trendy and modern...however very tricky to do. Like that other chic said, find videos on how to do them, it's WAY TO HARD to explain.





Good luck!
i can do it!!! i have ghd's and they go up to 210 its not that much difference! hold a piece of hair out to the side, hold the straightners at the topa a nd slowly start to slide them down your hair at the same time twist the tongs inwards to your haed keep twisting an movind down. its simple really once you no how!!


WARNING dont go too fast you r hair gets twisted up!! i learnt this lesson the hard way!


its honestly nothard ia m only 13 i can do it perfect !! LOL
grab sections of hair and hold the straightners at top f the section slide the irons in a smooth motion around hair. the ghd web site may be able to give you more info.its all in the wrist movement!!
you cant curl your hair with a straightner


thats why it would be called a straightner not a curler...


hahahahaha
