Flat Iron Hair Straighteners: CHI Flatiron Video of Using a CHI Hair Iron to Curl Hair

Obviously, a CHI hair iron is a great way to achieve hair that is straight as an arrow. However, many women may not be aware that the styling tool they use to create silky, straight hair can also double as a curling iron! The following video demonstrates how to curl hair with a CHI flat iron.

The most important guideline to remember if you want to experiment with using your flat iron hair straightener as a curling iron is to make sure your flat iron’s plates have curved edges. These curved plates are what allow the hair to pass smoothly through the flat iron. If you try to curl your hair using a flat iron without curved plate edges, your hair will end up having unsightly kinks. Another tip, which is mentioned in the video, is to twist your flat iron both clockwise and counterclockwise as you curl each section of your hair. If you are only curling your hair in one direction, the curls will look unnatural. Switching directions will help you to achieve that breezy, beach-curl look.

Curling your hair with a flatiron is a great way to give your daily look a little flair, or to help create elegant looks for special occasions. While using a hair iron to curl hair is easier to do with long hair, it can also be done with short hair, as shown in the video. With some practice, you can soon be creating beautiful curls with your flat iron, no matter the length of your hair.
