00:06Hi everyone it's Taylor from Refinery29. Today I'm going to show you one of my favorite beauty
00:10tricks. I'm always getting compliments on my curls and people are usually shocked to find
00:14out that I do it with a flat iron. So today I'm going to show you how. Today I'll be
00:19prepping my
00:19hair with the Kerastase Fiber Architect Repair Serum. For a flexible hold I'll be using the
00:25Shu Amora Sheer Lacquer Micro Finish Spray. The flat iron I'll be using is the GHD 1 inch
00:31styler. I'll be using this flat iron because it gets upwards of 400 degrees. The high heat
00:36helps hold curl and super straight hair. After I've completed curling I'll be using the Moroccan
00:41oil treatment to add moisture to the ends of my hair. I like to start with my hair a couple
00:46days dirty so that it holds the curl better. I start by putting the Kerastase Fiber Architect
00:51serum in to protect my ends since most flat irons get upwards of 400 degrees. Now I'm
00:57going to section my hair off into two sections. I'm going to pull the hair in front of my shoulders
01:02so that it's easily accessible. Using an alligator clip I'm going to clip the top layer of my hair
01:07up and behind my head so that it's out of the way. Now you're going to want to use a
01:13flexible
01:14hold hairspray. Today I'll be using the Shu Amora Sheer Lacquer Spray. I make sure to coat
01:19the strands evenly so that the curl holds. Now we're ready to go.
01:28You're going to want to start with a small section of your hair. It's important to curl
01:31the hair away from your face for the most natural look. Clamping the flat iron to the root of
01:35the hair we're going to rotate it 90 degrees and pull the hair back out around. Using small
01:41clamps we're going to work our way down the shaft of the hair. You're going to want to release
01:46the flat iron and press it again as you move. And voila!
01:53Using the same technique continue curling in small sections. It's important to make small
01:59even clamps as you're moving down the length of your hair so that you have a natural even
02:03curl. This will ensure that you don't have any weird kinks in the curl. Now that you've
02:08finished the bottom section you're going to want to move on to the middle section. Don't
02:20forget to hairspray. And again using a small section. I'm going to do the same thing. I
02:38do the same thing. That seems to be the hardest part for me. Work my way to the front.
03:06Now we're ready to switch to the other side. Since we're switching sides, we're going to
03:11want to make sure that the direction you're curling your flat iron also switches. Once I've finished,
03:25I put Moroccan oil in the ends of my hair. You're going to want to use the hairspray again
03:34for a once over. And there you have it. Sexy, easy curls. All with a flat iron.
