How to Wave Short Hair with a Straightener | EASY Beach Waves!

It's taken me a while to get this just right but I have FINALLY figured out THE BEST way to wave short hair with a straightener and I am excited to show you! **How to Wave Short Hair with a Curling Iron | Quick & Easy! kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXizeX2gp65oo5Y
Flat iron curls have never been for me. In my opinion, those bouncy ringlets on short hair just doesn't look flattering. I have watched so many "how to curl short hair videos" and never really been able to execute the same results on my clients or on myself...until now. Flat iron waves, and bend waves can look so cute on a wavy bob. Watch this tutorial, grab your beach hat 👒 and master these short hair hairstyles along with me!

I would like content on skincare, makeup and hair ideas that are flattering to women in their 70’s…it’s hard sometimes to feel pretty at this age!

[@debrapahl7573]

❤😂❤❤🎉

[@catnipbarbie]

I follow Lisa, Angie, Allie and Nikki. These ladies have formed my beauty and skin care regimen for the last 6 years. Trust me when I say, you rank right up there with these ladies. I'm so happy for you ❤️

[@CatherineKarpman]

Thanks for taking the time to show how to use the straightener. I know it’s lots of practice, but you providing step by step is very helpful. Especially the tips on the back of hair and using the texturing spray. 🙌❤️

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You are so welcome!

[@MusicLover-sb7mo]

Can’t wait for this collab! I follow you and all but two of the other creators. Will definitely be fun! As a theme, I’d say “Mastering Confidence Eternally”. Skincare, makeup, hair, fashion will no doubt be featured. But coach us on how to pull it all together. Fun, flattering style for women of all ages, sizes and lifestyles. We want to be hip as we march on in life, learn how to adapt modern hairstyles (to fit different face shapes), make the wide variety of hooded eyes pop. Walk tall, present ourselves with flair. Would love to see a variety of total makeovers. A lot of talented people in one house is bound to make for a lot of magnificent ideas!

[@mi2boiz]

Love this!

[@tomorroworsak1896]

As always, thanks for the tips! Excited for you!! For the creator house… 1. I have really thin skin and puffy under eyes with big lines. My under eyes look so bad. I would love to hear skin care products, recommendations and make up tricks to improve their look. Mornings seem to be the worst. 2. Quick fun easy ways to fix my hair. Up. Partially up and off my face. I see some cute videos but I can’t repeat.

[@marie-linechislett9151]

Love your tutorial 🌟 You always take the time to show each step which makes it so much easier to understand 💝

[@patkern185]

Wow! What an amazing lineup for Creator House! Love how your hair looks and your tutorial is incredibly helpful. XXOO ❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Glad it was helpful! I can't wait for the creator house!

[@mariacarlstrom362]

I was so excited to hear on your channel about the influencers house! I love all you mention especially Nikki, Lisa J and Angie. I just discovered Justin from your channel. As a mature (65 yo) fan, I’d love more content on make up and hair for those of us who are transitioning to grey. Have fun, and keep doing what you’re doing!!

What a fabulous group of people to gather and discuss content for us. Thanks for this tutorial.

[@Stitchin_is_the_Besst]

I love this tutorial! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 You explained everything perfectly! Thank you! 🥰🥰 As far as ideas, I’d love to see which OTC products are best for lightening/removing dark spots & the order in which they should be applied for maximum benefit. I’m so excited about “the house” and all of your coming videos with everyone 🥰🥰🙌🏻🙌🏻 How fun!

[@stargirlofantares9053]

I just love you. I totally have long hair, (aging hippie) but I love to watch you do your hair! I know it’s hard as an introvert to be around so many people & not say the wrong thing (or feel like you did), but just be yourself, because you are amazing and lift me up every time I watch you. I’m more into makeup for over 50 with very hooded eyes and lots of crepeiness beneath them. I hardly have any other wrinkles. A tiny bit of neck sagging. Any tricks & tips on makeup and reverse aging under eyes skincare are loved. Honestly anything you do is so fun to watch. Love from Oregon State. 💖 Jess

I can only imagine how excited you are for creator house!!! We are excited for you especially as a fellow 🇨🇦 cheering you on! BTW seeing Charise in April, thanks for having her on your channel.

[@tinacouling1572]

So I cut my hair into a bob and I always come back and watch this video on how to do the classic Holly Willoughby waves and it works everytime. Can't thank you enough. The waves last for days too. ❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

That's great to hear! Glad you're loving this style.

[@evettedominguez59]

Thank you ,Thank you, Thank you! After all these years with short hair, you helped me achieve the look I would pay at least $50 each time when I needed it styled! I love the trick with the flat iron on the shorter hair underneath and then I use a mini wand to do the curls on the last 2 parts up top. Best how to!! ❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You are so welcome!

[@cs-yq5ed]

Oh my goodness! That Content Creator House sounds amazing. I would love to be a fly on the wall of that house. I subscribe to everyone of those creators. I can't wait for the content to see what you all dream up. Have fun!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I am going to try to see if we can do a livestream all together here on my channel! I think it would be so fun for you guys to see us interact!

@@GlamGirlGabi please can you do a video on curling a short blunt bob but with heat free curls?

You be great at the creator house Gabi! You are such a beautiful human in person. You got this! I can't wait to see your outfits, maybe you can sneak some fashion content in😁

[@sheilabeard2630]

I loved this video! I liked how you gave a "non-example." I was doing it the non-example way and getting ringlets. Now I understand what I was doing wrong. Can't wait to try out this new method!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Let me know how it goes!

[@gabrielleayala4276]

Gabi your bob is sooo adorable! Thank you so much for this video. I also want to say that I appreciate that you use a lot of the same products. Sometimes it’s hard to know what a creator actually uses and recommends, or is just promoting, because the products change in every single video. So thanks for consistently featuring the products you stand by. The L’ador ampules are my holy grail hair product thanks to you!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I always test products for months before even considering promoting them. It's so important to me that what I'm recommending is a quality product! It's not about sales, it's about value!

[@jamigray2961]

I would Love a detailed skincare video, like best for lines and wrinkles, in what order, drug store and high end….maybe some easy fast but stylish “mom in a hurry” hair styles….and some “I’m a Momma in my 40s but still hot makeup looks! Ohhhh and some hot but super fast makeup looks as well as everyday makeup but not completely the “no makeup look”… ALL of these topics would be enjoyable! Have no worries Gabi, I watch most of those you mentioned, love them all and your content is right up there with theirs! So happy for you with this fun opportunity! Can’t wait to watch!

How exciting!! Would love to be in that same room with those incredible women. Btw I love u in short hair.. I’ve always been a short hair gal.. and ppl always tell me they want to cut it but can’t or won’t… I say do what makes you feel beautiful not what other thinks of you.. ❤

The Content Creator House sounds like a lot of fun. I'm familiar with all the women you mentioned. You all will learn a lot from each other!

Excited for you! Would love simple makeup routine for mature combo skin

Your hair looks gorgeous as always!! That is quite the lineup of people, and I am subscribed to a few of them. YOU are my absolute favorite, and they should feel honored to work with you!! xoxo love you Gabi!! I would like to see some styles for very long hair on older women if possible.

[@FelineBlue-xu8nr]

Good explanation on how to, your hair looks great. Have a flat iron that bought for this reason, still haven't used as been using round barrel for decades, but maybe soon!! Thanx Gabi.

[@lorrainemcintyre807]

Absolutely love the time you take patience etc. Creator house cannot wait watching from Australia. You will be fabulous 👌

[@artsygirll2010]

Gabi, you are fantastic and amazing!!! Thank you for this detailed video. I struggle with a flat iron and have not used it in a long time. I will have to take it out and follow this video. You should not feel intimidated with this fabulous colab in April. You are just as great if not better than as all the other creators who I love as well. Content for the colab, affordable Skincare, skincare routines am and pm for mature skin. The absolute best at home devices for mature gals. I have the Omniux red light therapy (which I absolutely love and have seen great results) and I am in the market to purchase an at home device that is worth the high cost!. However most of the before and after photos on variouw device I have seen are on younger women and I do not see any significant or dramatic difference on the more mature skin IMHO. So a device that will soften and decrease nasal labial, marionette lines, the dreadful "11's" would be extremely, extremely helpful. Thank you for all you do for us not so young ladies. Love and hugs!❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Oh my gosh I am doing this exact video with Angie (Hot and Flashy). We were just talking about this idea!!! YAY!!!

[@mandymaney6856]

Your hair is STUNNING!!!! YOU will stand out in that house without saying a word. I would love to know what is each person’s one beauty thing they do every day that is a must for them. Is it Mascara? Lips? Brows? What is it when you don’t want to do full face? TFS. Hugs- Rebecca 🩷😘😘🩷

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Thank you for offering such great suggestions Rebecca!

[@jean-nee8972]

I so appreciate your attention to detail with this! Hair is soo tricky to get just right when using hot tools. I'm curious, did the dollar tree shampoo/conditioner have any notable effects on your hair?

Hold your own Gabi. You can take your place among these "creators" given your tutorials are the best of the best.

[@noralynpropps2327]

Aloha Gabi🤙🏽 New follower here and I am so glad to have stumbled over your page. This video especially bc I just chopped off my long hair and is now very short. I will give this a try. And I’ll be binge watching your other videos too😊 I hope you have a lovely time with the other creators ( I follow Nikki and Lisa J both talented artists).

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Welcome to the channel! I can't wait to get creating with this awesome group!

[@sha.elaine]

Hi Gabi! I enjoy your channel very much. Thank you for all the time you put in. I have hair similar to yours but it is a little curler and can be slightly coarse. It is also very thick...thick. I have a really hard time getting it to lay closer to my head in the sides and not bend as the day progresses. Any suggestions for a styling product that can help me?

[@Vasscarstyle]

Do we need to hold the wand upside down? I would've liked to see the look holding it the other way as well. However I'm looking forward to trying this technique. Your hair looks adorable!

[@christinemack2153]

Your tutorials are excellent. Does that iron get hot on the outside? You are all so kind and talented and look forward to the collab.

[@yvonnecasserly2606]

Thanks Gabby for great tutorial. I have fine hair and am wondering what temperature to set flat iron at and what if any products I should use before styling for holding style in place. Thanks x

[@michelledillman6381]

Omg ! How fun and honored to go ! 😁😁😁😁

[@jacquelinecassidy8682]

Any flat iron recommendations?

[@laurieelle1420]

Hair looks beautiful! I’m going to give it a try. Why did you hold the flat iron from the top on one side, and the other side from the bottom going up? I will enjoy any content, maybe have Lisa do your make up?

[@deniseyounger6004]

This way very helpful. You will have a wonderful time don’t worry your are awesome. Makeup for summer skincare and keeping modern as we age. 🦋🤗

Congratulations Gabi on the "Collective ". I can't wait to see what you Marlena Lisa J and Nikki come up with.

[@catherinelynnfraser2001]

Great volume and you seem to have more shine by using the flat iron.

A makeup look with Marlena would be amazing. I’ve watched her for years 😍

[@tallisinwonderland4724]

Wow this is a game changer. Thank you ❤❤❤ you are so clever. ❤❤❤ I have really thick hair and it won’t hold a curl and when I do curl it it looks so triangular. I have a Bob too but I’m having to go a bit longer because of it looking like a bush 😂😂 I need the weight in my hair so it’s a bit flatter. This line up is all the people I watch. I love Justin’s wife. She’s so lovely ❤ she needs her own channel

[@tanyabooysen3958]

Gabi, you are a mind reader ❤

[@Donna-vh5ym]

Fantastic tutorial. I'm running to my flat iron (along with you) to try this. This totally makes sense. I'm so excited for the creator house. You'll have a blast. As far as what content..I'm no help because you're so good at anything you do. I'm sure you'll get a lot of suggestions. My personal struggle is with false eyelashes. It's so hard for me. It's so hard that I give up..then look at them and say, "Okay, you win. "..lol And I've tried so, so many times.

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Glad it was helpful! I appreciate the suggestion, I've had a few requests for a false lash video so I will do my best to create something helpful!

[@barbarascott1201]

That is so exciting !!!I get the introvert thing. Just be yourself beautiful self. I would love to see some type of pulling a look together. I notice when I am looking in mirror everything looks great but when I look in a full length mirror my makeup looks "off" Enjoy the experience.

[@julies7734]

I love the way the beachy waves look on you no matter what length your hair is, but I've tried to replicate it a number of times and I find that it doesn't look as good on me because I have a wider jaw than you do. I have lob-length hair and i find that it makes the lower half of my face look heavier. What if you collaborated with some of the other creators to modify the technique for different face shapes? Thanks so much for detailed tutorials, I like to style along with you step by step :)

[@lauragiaquinto7903]

Technique géniale en 2 fois!!! MERCI

[@lorimccoy5321]

Gabi you’re just soooo Amazing! All the time

[@Susan-rj1ic]

Great video !! I did this and I get the line mark in my hair from the straightener. Am I holding it too long ?or is it the heat setting ?? Thank you !!

[@YogiBethC]

I find the opposite is true - with my super-fine hair, curling iron curls come out looking like ringlets, but the flat iron allows me to be softer. Bottom line is that many of us don't have a lot of time to spend and want to have one tool we can use for most of our looks.

[@marnidillon8659]

Would love to see conversation between you and Angie…..younger vs. older woman. Her giving advice on things she wished she had done or changed at your age.

[@maggiejohnson9411]

I can’t find your Tymo airflow curling iron video, would you please demonstrate again . Thank you so much .

[@tinacouling1572]

This is brilliant thank you. It worked. I have shoulder length hair so did 2 curls instead of the 1. Is that right? Xxx

[@GlamGirlGabi]

As long as you liked how it looked it's great!

[@ruthrehak4995]

My hair is so similar to yours, curly and fine that I've been wearing straight for a couple years now. I'm going to try this waving with the flat iron but I wonder, do you have to do this to your hair everyday? What does sleeping on it do to it?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

I actually made a video about my weekly haircare routine you might find helpful. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWSwiHieqbmgacU

[@angicatron8512]

I’m going to try this now!!!! ❤

[@GlamGirlGabi]

Hope you like it!

[@serenitymancini4137]

You saved my live ahah !

[@kathleenreese5010]

I have heard that flat irons can cause natural silver hair to yellow. Is that true? Also what heat setting did you use?

[@EmmaDee]

Gabi, I swear my natural hair color seems to be exactly the same as yours. In “most” colors, I feel I’m more of a level 5 and a level 4 sort of washes me out. The huge difference is that I’m 54, and hairdresser said I’m 15% to 20% max getting grays. The $310 I paid (unemployed, job interviewing and for some reason my hairdresser to date, keeps insisting on “treatments” I’m quite certain I don’t have to have). My friend works there and I can appreciate the HD business model but she tells my friend how she strives to meet her quota everyday!!!! I’m happy for her but can’t afford to contribute to her quota for the time being. So went to Sally’s, and got some Demi 5N, & 5NN by wella color charm. Do I just do around roots for 30 mins or so or do I do ends too?

[@GlamGirlGabi]

What developer are you using? 20 vol?

[@karen-lynpenton2427]

Eyeglasses and hairstyles. I've seen vids on eyeglasses and face shapes, but now that I'm wearing a pair of large frames, I'm wondering how I should style my hair. Are there any guidelines?

[@PetraEmmy]

Got it! Thanks Gabi! Right now all I want “high and tight” is my butt!! Working it today! 😂👏🏻

[@GlamGirlGabi]

HAHAHAHA! I want my butt hight and tight too ;P

[@robinmoore4994]

I tried this almost intuitively the other day. Did not work for me...yet. I have quite curly hair but I don't like the sort of "unkempt" look mine ends up. Will try this again.

[@debrapahl7573]

I would need some sort of product for this to work on my xtra fine silky hair texture

[@adrianotirli6210]

Do you spray anything on your hair before curling?

[@lees_box]

Gabi I've heard a few influencers over the years say the same thing, that they're introverted and are used to doing their thing on their own and not as outgoing as you might htink, I'm sure you're not alone in this and you'll be among like-minded individuals. Just remember, you all do the same thing in the same environment. X

[@liliagarduno5059]

How do get your hair to behave so obediently? Mine has a life of its own and, as much as I follow your instructions, I cannot get the same results as you do. For me, this is my biggest problem, as well as my dark undereye circles. I wish you the best in your meeting with the other girls; however, I honestly do not understand why you might feel uneasy about the reunion. You will be the teacher in the group. They could be popular, but you are the master in both hair and make-up.

[@byanpafel]

Very helpful thankyou!!!

[@GlamGirlGabi]

You're welcome!

[@surfsummer8434]

A video about fast removing make-up would be very good. Especially if you have chosen waterproof makeup. Thx

[@stephaniemartin6022]

I’m curious why you hold the iron upside down? Is this necessary to achieve the look? I can’t figure out why you would have to and my arm would get tired! lol

[@GlamGirlGabi]

It’s just more comfortable for me.

[@erikagiles3659]

My hair is long, does this technique work on longer hair? Thanks

[@awalker127]

I think there was only 1 that I don't follow! I'm envious ❤

[@scottmusgrove2848]

What do you mean when you said the hair will ‘lift’ quickly ?

[@1KAP]

Gabi, what heat temp are you using on your flat iron?
