Is it possible to curl my hair using a straightener?

you can here's how:

Want to learn how to curl your hair with a straightener? Here's what you need to do.

1. Thoroughly brush your hair and section it with hair bands or clips.

2. Start from the bottom layer of hair on one side. Take a small section of hair. Using a thin iron, clamp it at the bottom of your hair and slowly curl it upwards.

3. Hold it for about 5 or so seconds, and gently remove the straightener.

4. or...

5. Instead, take the section, lightly mist it with a flexible hairspray. Then place the flat iron about an inch away from your scalp. Twist the iron completely around and then pull it down toward the ends of your hair. This will create the same kind of effect you get when you use a scissor to curl the ends of a ribbon. Running it over your hair slowly will create a tighter curl, and quickly will create a looser curl or make it wavy.

6. Do this to the bottom layer of your hair right around to the other side, then move up and go around until all of your hair is curled.

7. Spray your hair to hold your style (optional).

Tips

* This style can only work if you use a thin iron that is about 1 inch wide. If you use a wider one, this style may not work.

* Make sure your hair is completely tangle free and smooth before you begin.

* Make your parting in the middle or at the side before you start to avoid frizz

* Your hair should be straight before you start for best results.

* GHD hair straighteners are highly recomended for this style.

* Perfect your technique the night before as straightening after you have attempted to curl your hair takes double the time as normal straightening/curling does.

Warnings

* It is highly recomended to use a heat activated spray that is 'straightener friendly' as this protects your hair and keeps your hairs condition even with regular straightening. These products can be purchased from supermarkets and chemists alike, they retail for about $4-$10. Make sure it IS straightener friendly!

* If you are trying to grow your hair long, this style is not recomended. it slows the process and can burn or pull out your hair.

* Irons can get extremely hot and could damage your hair if you use it too much. Make sure you condition your hair well and use a completely ceramic iron.

* You may need someone to help you to do the hair at the back of your hair to prevent you from getting burned.

* Since most flat irons are just two flat heated plates with plastic or some other heat resistant backing, doing so can keep the heat on the end too long and end up frying the ends of your hair so make sure you don't hold it there more than 10 seconds

* Never straighten wet hair unless you have straighteners that are made to do so.

* Be careful because irons get extremely hot and can burn you, which will scar you for life.

I suppose you could... Although I daresay it'd be pretty hard. Straighteners have the word "straight" in them for a reason, y'know. :) I'm not sure how, since I don't have a straightener or curling iron myself, but if you want a tip that won't fry your hair, get some old-fashioned curlers, wash your hair before bed, then comb it out and wrap it around the curlers. If you leave them in while you sleep they'll have done their work by morning. And you don't have to wet your hair if you don't want to. :) (But then I guess you knew that.)
