    So, guys. Basicly this post with show you how to...CURL UR HAIR WITH A STRAIGHTENER!!!


    Steps:

    1.Wet your hair. It doesn't have to be dripping wet, because it will take longer to dry. It just needs to be damp enough for water to come in contact with every strand. This initial wetting serves to break the hydrogen bonds in your hair so that you can "reset" them in following steps. Applying mousse or a light gel helps your curls keep their shape because it will stiffen, although putting too much can make your hair feel hard or sticky.

    2.Spray hair with heat protectant spray and comb through. This creates a protective barrier between the hair and the iron so that the hair doesn't 'frizzle' and burn. Therefore, this is highly recommended.
    Brush you hair thoroughly. Section hair: starting at the nape of your head (that is, the part closest to, or on, your neck), estimate an imaginary line 1-inch above the back hair line. Section away and clip up all the remaining hair. You should be left with an inch-thick section of hair closest to the hairline.

    3.From this remaining section of hair, take an inch meche. That is, the piece you've just separated should now be an 1-inch x 1-inch square x length of hair. Note: The size of the section you take influences the size and crispness of the curl. Smaller sections make smaller, tighter curls, and more of them. Large sections make large, lose curls and few of them. The inch x inch is a guide.

    For Flicks:

    Start half-way down the length of hair, clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself in a half turn. You should now have created a U-shape with the hair and the iron. Keeping the iron on that half-turn angle, slowly move it down the hairshaft to the end of the hair. The faster you move the iron, the less pronounced the curl/flick will be.

    For Curls:
    Start fairly close to the scalp (but not close enough to accidentally burn it), clamp the iron closed and turn it back on itself a half turn (the same as with flicks). Run the iron slowly down the hairshaft to the end. Again, the slower you move the iron, the tighter the curl. The faster you move the iron, the gentler the wave.)
    Move onto the next inch x inch section. Once you've finished an entire row, section the next inch-wide row and then make your smaller sections to curl.
    Finish with hairspray or laquer.

    That's It!!..These curls with last to 4-5 hours!!

    afro Enjoy. afro
