There is nothing more sad than spending an hour curling your hair, only for all the curls to fall out thirty minutes later! I had this predicament for years until I finally switched to curling my hair with a flat iron. It was the best hair decision I ever made! When I used a curling iron, no matter how much product I used, it would always fall out by the end of the night. But since I've started to use a straightener it holds throughout the night with little or no product and it only takes me about five minutes to style! I couldn't keep this secret all to myself, so I thought I'd share!
I used a one inch GVP flat iron and heat protection spray to make sure I didn't damage my hair. Here's how I style "beachy waves" with my flat iron in 5 minutes…1. Part your hair into three sections. If you have thicker hair or lots of layers, part it into four or five sections. 2. Begin curling each section at a time. To do so, start at the highest point you want curled (I started about five inches from the bottom) clasp it to your hair and curl your hand outwards as if you're turning a door knob. Once you've turned your hand as far as possible, release. 3. Then, return the straightener at the end of where you just released and repeat the process. 4. Curl each section into one large curl so that you end up having 3-5 curls all together. 5. Next, gently run your fingers through your hair, separating the curls. 6. All done! This hair-do is perfect for any occasion and took less than five minutes. Hooray!
Here's another variation- mermaid curls! 1. Begin curling your hair, one thin section at a time. You'll want each piece to be thin and wide to create more volume. 2. For the top sections of your head you'll want to begin curling at the root. Do this by clasping the straightener to your hair and curl your hand outwards as if you're turning a door knob. Once you've turned your hand as far as possible, release. 3. Then, return the straightener at the end of where you just released and repeat the process until you've reached the end of the strand. 4. Continue this process until you've curled the top half of your head. 5. Tip: Want to make your hair look longer? Instead of curling the longest layer underneath from to root to end, only curl the last four inches. The uncurled section of the strand will be hidden by the top curls and with less curl it will make those long strands peek out the bottom and won't take away your length! It also prevents it from having too much volume in the middle section of your hair which can make the top look flat. 6. All done!
And most importantly, don't get discouraged! It takes a few trys to get the hang of it! xo. Kinsey
I love your website I always visit this silently. And this is my first comment .
Super cute! Thank you for posting this!
It’s a great idea, could you do a video tutorial?
Really advisory and effective assemblage.

Every single time I viewed the blog I feel so glad that the images in the blog always show the pretty hairstyle I love.
Going to try this…it looks really fun and not overly difficult!
A and C, the same say, the X-chromosome is a sex chromosome Either way, this is the right anewsr!. Hair loss is on the X chromosome, which is why men have it, women have a second X, so that when the second X is not bald, then counter it, the first X. For men, they have only one X, so if they have it, then they will Glatze.Die one other thing (this is not one of the possibilities, but I’ll throw it out there anyway) is that testosterone also stimulates hair loss. So even women who have two X for hair loss will probably never go bald, it is likely that they have only done hair thinned because it is not as much testosterone as men.
How can you be more disgusting?What? Do you think amript hair is something to be cutlivated and grown? Are you gonna harvest it when you grow some more? Just water it daily, fertilize it every now and then, mow it every Saturday, and before you know it, you will have a nice lush amript lawn under your arms. Just beware of earthworms. They like nice warm enviroments like that.I don’t want any more amript hair so don’t ask me if I can grow some more.
I’ve done this a few times before, and its nice to know Im not the only one! xo
A video tutorial for the mermaid curls would be so helpful! I can’t tell whether I am doing it right… I know that my curls don’t look the same when I am done so then I try to fuss with it so much that everything gets all frizzy.
You can use one that is smaller than 1″. I have an FHI iron that has super tiny (I think it’s 3/8″) rounded ceramic plates. I can make the curls really small or large and beachy depending on how I hold the iron and how big my sections are. But please ladies, ALWAYS use a heat protectant! Redken Iron Silk is awesome. 🙂
yeah i ordered the same day i saw this video i was like eh sure why not lol a few days later it sepiphd and i’ve been following the program how it is and its been working so far. Am a 20 year old guy and i can feel my curls more managable as well. I thought this would only be for girls but if it worked for me am sure it can work for yall.
I took these directions from the witbese. Step One- Take 2 tablets daily in divided doses.We recommend taking 1 tablet in the morning with a meal or snack and 1 tablet in the afternoon or evening with a meal or snack. It is not necessary to exceed 2 tablets a day. The body can only absorb this much. Step Two- Take 4- 6 tablets daily in divided doses. We recommend taking 2 tablets three times daily (or 3 tablets twice daily) on an empty stomach.
That is not what Hogun the Grim looks like! He needs his moustache, his helemt, and his costume as it appears in the comics. This guy looked like a Samurai, in dress and hair style. He was also way too slight of build, and too short. I think Karl Urban is the right one to cast as Hogun, but if you want to stay with an Asian, then get Chow Yun Fat. He is much more imposing than this little dude.
Debilou, I have tried all kinds of stuff on my hair to get that run-your-finger-through, silky feel. 🙂 My latest faotvires are Beyond the Zone’s Turn Up The Heat that I get at Sally’s and Her Styler’s Hair Serum that I got at a kiosk in the mall. Turn Up The Heat is a flat iron protection spray, and the serum makes it shine when I am done. 🙂
Usually it takes me about 45 mins to flat iron.. and what I mean by leaving too much on your hair, is after puittng creams or oils in your hair.. does it feel heavier? Is it greasy feeling? does it look like it’s still wet from too much product? stuff like that.. cuz I absolutely hate the look when there’s too much product in hair..
If you use too much of the coconut oil then yes it may feel gsreay.. and no it doesn’t burn the oil it still smells pretty nice afterwards But I actually haven’t been using the coconut oil recently.. I still love my tony and guy protein protection mist that I did a video on.. I’m trying out some new heat protectant products so stay tuned for those reviews!!
Buy a straightener that is cearmic instead of metal if you don’t already have one. And while you’re straightening it, if your hair is thick, straighten it in layers instead of doing it all at once. Section it off with clips or elastics. It works for me and I have reeeally frizzy, curly hair, so it should work for you, too :]
I have EXTREMELY frizzy & curly hair.if you don’t want it to curl, the best thing to do is not to tie it. IT WILL CURL IF YOU DO THAT.also, get your hair tnenhid. it cut my hair straightening time in half.the best thing for keeping your hair from curling is pureology straight serum that is some amazing stuff. hard on your pocketbook but really really good.good luck!
Well, real CHI’s do not have a temperature knob, and they do have the GBN and red round CHI label at the hinge. Do you have thick fizzry hair or fine thin hair? CHI’s work wonders with thick fizzry hair and average hair. If it burns your hair, then maybe you did something wrong. I have never used my CHI on previously straightened hair, and that might be the case. I suggest you give it another try. If the results don’t please you, then by all means, take it back. Ask you’re hairdresser (if you go to the same person to get your hair cut over and over again) what kind of flat iron would work best with your hair.Best of luck!
