Curling With A Flat Iron

This is the one and ONLY way I do ringlets. My girls have EXTREMELY straight, thick, heavy hair so it never stays in when I curl with a normal curling iron. I'm not exactly sure why- maybe because a flat iron is hotter (usually 300 degrees is good) than a curling iron- but they seriously stay in all day with no hairspray. -And even better, it's way faster !!

P.S. I made a messy bun video also, but it's too many megabytes so as soon as I figure it all out, I'll get it on here :)

I had no idea this was even a possibility. . . Does anyone love their particular brand/style of flat iron? I have one but it is just the cheapest one I could find at Wal-Mart. Maybe it's time for an upgrade.

IF you twist the hair before clamping the iron down, you get a spiraly ringlet....a little different look.
