my mum curled my hair a few years back. n my hair turned all frizzy n bushy. i swore nv 2 curl my own hair or let a non-pro curl my hair since den. so as much as tis is is gr8 n helpful, im nt curlin my own hair.
Okay, I really want a GHD for my birthday now lol. I wish I could try it before I buy it, no one I know has one...and all my stylist has are Chi straighteners. Which I own and am tired of haha.
maybe you have think hair? i have really thick hair and it absolutely refuses to curl unless i put a bit of wax in before i curl it and spray heaps when its done.
Thank you so much for the vid! Your's was the only one that was really helpful cause you showed how to do the whole head and how to section your hair. By the way you speak really well and I will definately follow more of your vids!!
elle does kinda look like blake lively...but her eyes are more wide set =/ and their prettier XD yay to us with blue eyes! hehe...elle how do you watermark your vids btw?=/
i love u ur pretty and u remind me of talor swift lol also the is not coming off ur hair becuase u put put product in ur hair its just becuase the flat iron hot ive curled my hair with straightners millions of times without product and when i do that i feel like im deep frying my hair love ur vids
did you straighten you hair before? because i have naturally curly hair but if i want it curly i have to like scrunch it so of, but it goes frizzy, so i never know whether to straighten it or just leave it... please help me,,, x
bedhead hair products ^_^ my hair is uber frizzy and curly...and I use bed head control freak shampoo and conditioner.. XD I did a products I cant livew/out vid andmention the stuff I use that helps with curly hair to make it straight..and my friends said I should make a vid on how I straighten my hair soi am XD but I got the sameeee problem haha
yeah i thought those products were heaven sent as well. until i learned the reason for my dry hair (that is uber curly and SUPER frizzy) was because of BED HEAD and CATWALK products. they containa huge amount of salts and alcohols that dry out your hair (AKA, create frizz). alot of products do, and unfortunatly its mostly the expensive ones that don't read any ingredient with '-odium' or 'alcohol' in the label.
since i've switched brands my hair has improved loads.
whoa it dried out your hair?! =O That sucks! Ya I didn't read the ingredients..except to make sure it didnt contain any flowers cuz I used herbel essences and it kept attracting wasps to my hair =/ but I loe my bedhead and I have my own secret regimen to keep my hair uber soft XD but Im glad you found something that improved your hair!
well the expensive ones like AG and some Keratin Complex Brands work well. The problem is they cost butt loads of money and I managed to get some free from my lovely hairdresser. its not too much of a risk if you use it in moderation, but deffinately dont use suave. dove isnt all that great either cause they test it on animals.. but aside form that is not too great in general. mostly lok for "no sulfates" in the title. i think it's Loriel that came out with a really nice sulfate-free line :)
it helps a lot too if you stick to the one brand as hair reacts better to it. i find that if i use different brands all the time my hair gets really oily, really quickly
hey..this is Adrian...chicago...woaaaaaa! if you see this comment...let me tell ya...you are so so so so....pretty.... too bad you seem some what shallow....!
GHD do a great spray called creation spray. You spray it on each section before curling and it has some hold to keep the curl in and it has heat protection too!
wats a good product to use cuz my hair is very dry at the ends and its very hard to curl with my straightner and the curls dont really come out cuz its hard to curl my hair cuz its so dry so its just straightens it and its a good straightner so what can i use to soften my hair?
if you turn the iron just a little more, like one more turn or whatever (i dunno how many degrees that would be), it will actually curl better, and farther up on the hair shaft.
well actually she did say she was using a chi in the video but wrote ghd on the description box.. Weird. LOL watch her video one more time and at the beginning she said she was Using a chi
Faux dreads would've looked really good, too! You can do them with Elmers glue. I know that sounds awful, but I actually heard it was good for your hair, and you just rinse it out with really hot water. :) Cute, though.
Def. if you want more curly curls, rotate the iron 360.
i have notice that when i curl my clients hair i tend to clamp it right in the middle of the iron, it gives it a nice curl, but i know your going for messy, and you rock it! i really like it
if your hair is dry but you have applied some products, steam does come out. theres nothing wrong with that as long as your hair is fully covered with heat protectant products.
hahahahaha-- you flipped your hair and magically came back with perfect curls and a cute headband. good thing your hair didnt turn out wayy too big or anything lol
hahahaha shut up!!! You might have had to fix it a little - but at least you figured out the headband part for me, because I was a little bit lost on how to do that part lol...
thats so weird that you did this video cause my friend just showed me the ot her day that you can curl your hair with a straightner and it boggled my mind! haha ... didn't understand that but thats so cool!
I just tried out this method (I'm dumb and could never figure out how to use my flat iron to curl before) and it is SO much easier to curl my short hair this way than with a curling iron. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I know you're not going for a perfect curl, but just for future ref, if you turn your iron just a bit more, so that the hair is facing downwards again, your curl will be much more defined.
