Chi Turbo Flat Iron

.

This is a great how-to video, easy and to the point!

I came across this video a while back, got buried with other things and basically forgot about it. But, it’s a quick and simple video on how-to get great curls from your flat iron. One question that keeps cropping up on their comment board is, can you do this with your flat iron and will it hurt your hair? The answer is yes, any flat iron will work. The width of the flat iron will determine the size curl you achieve. I think this was a 1 1/2″ size used in the video.

You don’t need to pay a fortune for a good flat iron, but there are some features clearly worth including. Here is a good article on how to choose the right flat iron; In considering the health of your hair, start by using the right products, you’ll get a better finish and save your hair from excessive heat damage.

A good blow dry is the foundation of a good hair style. If you want long smooth ringlet curls like this model, start on clean, conditioned hair. For more fullness use a volumizing shampoo and a thickening lotion.

Blow dry vigorously upside down till 90% dry. Smooth hair in sections using a large round brush to give bend to the ends. Starting with one to two inch sections at the nape of the neck, spray section lightly with a thermal active spray, this will protect the hair as well as give it hold. Comb section smooth and run the flat iron down the entire section once, to smooth and warm the hair to be curled. Wrap section around the flat iron as shown starting close to the roots and slowly slide it through to the ends.
