In this article let see how to curl your hair using straighteners. You have to first have completely dry and clean hair. You then use some heat protestant product that offers the right protection to your hair against the extra heat that is emitted by the hair straightener. You have to apply it from the ends of your hair, to be distributed in your hair using your fingers. Most people assume that hair straighteners are only for smoothing hair and don't realize that curling hair with a hair straightener is even an option. There are times when you may want to first smooth your hair out and then curl it and flat irons are perfect for the job.

Towel dries your hair to get rid of most of the moisture. When it is nice and damp, apply a bit of styling gel, mousse, or styling spray evenly to your hair. Once done, dry your hair using a blow dryer until it is completely dry. This stage is crucial; the curls will last longer and form better when dry and when good-quality hair products are applied.

Using clips, divide your hair into sections to make it easier to work with. Begin at the back and pull your hair into appropriately sized sections. The size of each area is determined by the curler size you have. To achieve big curls, try the bigger curlers using portions of hair as much as 2" across. Use smaller sections if you want smaller curls.

To use the decorative clips, wait until hair is 90% dry (this will happen naturally as you put on your makeup and do morning chores). Then roll up hair the way you would if you were pin curling it - but use the clips instead. You'll have to use fewer clips than you would pin curls, for aesthetic reasons. For instance, you might pull your hair up into a roll near the top of your head and secure it a clip.

Once you procure these products, you may never have to pay exorbitantly to your hair stylist to get those curls on your face. Additionally, you can start experimenting with various other hair styles without spending even a single penny. This would not only save you a lot of money, but would also allow you to learn the art of hair styling that can be easily perfected if you practice it regularly.
