I heard you can curl your hair if youwrap your hair around the straightener then slide it down in a curling motion. Does this work. do u have other techniques to curling with a flat iron. Maybe a homemade solution to get curly hair.

I watched a video on YouTube of some girls doing this and then I tried it with my straightener... not exactly the same results. I guess you have to use a special type of straightener, so its not really any more convenient than a curling iron.

Curling your hair with a flat iron only works if the edges of your iron are rounded. Like not straight, or square. If they are you just need to kinda use it like a curling iron. I flip my ends out using my flat iron by just running the iron down my hair and rolling it up a little at the ends. If you want your hair totally curly I would suggest using hot rollers.

A flat iron is exactly that. It straightens hair.
As a hairstylist I have a lot of tools. Curling irons of different sizes and a flat iron.
If you want to curl your hair use a curling iron. Go to a beauty supply and look at the different sizes and find one that suits your need.
CAUTION: Don't burn your hair. Use a thermal protectant on your hair first.

It is possible. but not with all hair straightners.. like my CHI is a pro and it curls even though its a flat iron. the flat iron is only about an inch wide and it works very well, but if you have a forty dollar 5 inch wide hair straightner, it more than likely wont work. Hope this helped!

Maybe you are thinking of a curling iron/flat iron combo...? a friend of mine has one. It looks just like a regular curling iron, but if you unlock this little hook it upens into a flat iron. unfortunalty i dont know what it is called or what the brandname is, but im sure you could find it at like Sally's beauty supplies.
other than that i cant think of any way to curl your hair with a flat iron

That makes it have a little more body but it doesn't really curl your hair. Flat irons are basicly to flaten your hair and make it straighter. They do have some really good curling irons called solid gold that curl your hair really well. They come in all sizes.

Uhhh....you don't.
I've tried doing that but my hair got all bent and zig-zagged, trust me it wont curl. You'll probably have to get a curling iron; the small ones cost only like $12.
Good question anyway though!

No, the only way that would work is if your hair is SUPER fine! Because you would have less hair for the straightener to heat up.
