Curling your hair with a flat iron is an easy and effective way to get beautiful, beautiful curls. This can be done as follows. 

 

 
 Start by washing and drying your hair. Apply a heat protection spray or serum to your hair to protect it from heat damage. 

 Divide your hair into manageable sections with a hair clip or tie. 

 Take a small section of hair and place the  iron around it about an inch  from the roots. 

Turn the  iron away from your face and be sure to wrap your hair around the iron. 

 Hold the  iron in place for a few seconds (about 5-10 seconds) and then release it.

 To create more volume and texture, gently loosen the curl with your fingers. 

 Repeat steps 3-6 for the remaining  hair. 

 After you have curled all the hair, spray the curls with a light hairspray.

Tip: 
 
 The smaller the  hair you use, the tighter the curl. For a more natural look, change the curl direction of  each section of hair. Curlers make curls tighter by holding the  iron in place for a few seconds longer. Do not twist the ends  too tightly, as this can create an unnatural ring. If you have fine or thin hair, use a lower heat  to avoid damaging your hair.
