Can You Curl With Your Flat Iron?

Curling your hair with your flat irons can be a bit of a challenge, but it’s definitely possible. You may not be able to get the same tight, springy spiral curls as you can using a good old-fashioned curling iron, but the flat iron is a great tool for making loose, sexy curls and waves. I used CHI hair products pretty much exclusively (my shampoo and conditioner are the only real exceptions!), and after reading some tutorials online and watching a few instructional videos, I decided to give it a try. It wasn’t easy at first, but it does work! (CHI hair tools are actually great for this because they’re ergonomically designed, which means they’re a cinch to maneuver.) If you’re going to give it a shot, keep in mind that you need to hold the iron vertically, not horizontally, and just keep twisting the iron and letting the section of hair glide through. I know several ladies who don’t own curling irons, only flat irons, so I know they’ll love this tip!
