How To Curl Your Hair With A Straightener! SIMPLE AND FAST!

[@justinhickox]

Thanks for checking out my video! I hope it helped!! What’s your flat iron trick??? Love to hear it!

[@MsDale1976]

Justin Hickox thanks!

[@justinhickox]

Hey Cynthia, Good question....I honestly don't work with a ton of wigs so I wouldn't want to give you wrong info. I DO however have connections to a lot of stylists and I will reach out to them and see if I can find any insight on this!

[@justinhickox]

You're SO welcome! Thank YOU for checking out the video!

Overdirecting the hair at the root/crown for volume.

[@VeryBlueMoon]

This is so helpful! Thanks for your tips! What was the flat iron that you used in the video?

[@dmm2484]

Love that you used the model doing her own hair! Makes so much sense!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you Dawn! Gotta be honest, that was totally my wives idea! She’s much smarter than me! :) thanks for your feedback!

[@thereginacox]

I agree! It’s rare to see that, however, necessary for true learning because we can’t take the stylist home!

[@araceliscastillo3532]

@@thereginacox exactly I loved this video because we will have to do it alone at home

[@bbexy]

Yes! Loved that!

[@melportolan5653]

Yes, much more realistic and achievable for us novices :-)

[@bestnewf]

A video showing the model using the flat iron on the back of her head would be useful. Most difficult part of the hair to work with, on your own when you have lotssss of hair.

[@justinhickox]

That’s a great point. I’ll definitely have to get a video together like that in the future. Thanks for the suggestion.

[@rondaspeed2876]

Please! I never know which way to follow through to the back.

[@K9buddy]

You talk tooooooooooooo much!!!!

[@lisade1972]

I have been unsuccessfully trying to create beach waves with a flat iron for years. After watching this video I was able to achieve perfect waves with first attempt. This instruction is the best!! You are a great teacher and I’m grateful for your generosity in sharing your hard earned hair styling wisdom. Thank you ! You are awesome!

[@kathygann7632]

Oh I hope it works for me too!

[@港女在愛爾蘭]

Finally a clear instruction! And with someone doing it herself so that we can see how it actually looks in real life! Thank you!

[@rebeccaandro8910]

I love that you showed your model doing it herself and correcting her mistakes vs just watching someone do it who already knows how.

[@giyah6038]

Practicing when the iron isn’t plugged in to get a feel for how to hold your arm & wrist may help too. Extremely helpful tutorial; thank you!!!

[@justinhickox]

SUCH a great point!! Thank you for sharing that!!

[@ChristenMestre]

OMG this is fantastic! I’ve been attempting to wave my hair with a flat iron all wrong all these years! Thank you thank you thank you for making this video and thank you Dionna for suggesting that you demonstrate doing it yourself. 🎉❤ That made a world of difference.

[@mariarandall2428]

I'm definitely trying this on my hair.

[@lisaburmood5540]

You literally just helped me to finally be able to curl my hair with a flat iron!! It's taken me 49 years 10 months. I never thought that speed could be the issue! Thx

[@emmahannagan6381]

THE most valuable styling video I’ve ever seen. I can never remember how my stylist does it 😂 Your videos are gold, Justin, thank you.

[@JackOllie4]

Oh my goodness ... that tip about keeping the wrist still and not flipping on the way down the hair has *_changed my flat iron game!_* Thank you! I'm getting so much better results😃

[@justinhickox]

That’s awesome!!! I’m so glad I could help! Thanks for that feedback!

[@thewebdivision7616]

This was very helpful! I'm a speedy flat iron person and now I know that's been part of my problem of styling my long fine hair. Thanks!

[@justinhickox]

You’re so welcome! I’m really glad it could help!

[@victoriahurley9785]

This was so helpful I didn’t realize that you should smooth out the ends before and I always hated how my ends looked after I curled them with a flatiron!! Thank you so much 🙏💗

[@lisakerr2703]

That was the most helpful hair styling tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you SO much!!!

[@deniseIEW]

I love the fact that you have the model do the work. It shows us so much better how to do it ourselves. Brillant! :)

[@justinhickox]

Awesome! I appreciate the feedback. I’m actually creating an entire online course about how to Cut and color your hair at home using that same format. It seems to be a a winner for people.

[@tubeiferous]

And learning from her mistakes!

The best flatiron tutorial I’ve ever seen. Now I understand so much more about why my results are not always what I was hoping for.

[@jenniferk4336]

I had no idea why I would ever use a flat iron on my thin flat lifeless hair. NOW I KNOW. Thank you for showing someone learn the tips! So helpful.

I'm African-American and I haven't seen a woman with my type hair here yet, but I still benefited from the info and got good results thx. I appreciate you sharing your talents.

[@sowilodawn9285]

I love this! It's the real.syruggles we have doing it at home. I love how you Justin didn't just say "this is how it's done" then show the after picture of the perfect hair. I much prefer to see the struggle and the corrections for real! These are all the issues I have doing it myself, I like seeing how to correct it! Well done❤🙏

[@justinhickox]

Thank you!! I’m so glad I could help! I totally agree with you…I always want to know the “why” as well as the “how”.

[@TheLuvDiva-Azure]

I have struggled with this for so long. The models experience has been exactly my own. This video is super helpful!!! Thank you.

[@mmmstitch]

I just watched this last night and flat ironed my hair just now. I cannot believe the difference! Thank you thank you thank you for teaching me new (to me) techniques! I am so so pleased with the results!!!

[@drewbabyape9548]

I am glad you let her do her own hair. It made more sense. I have tried to learn this so many times but this video made more sense to me

[@donnaocasio45]

Bravo 👏🏻 my man , you are a natural teacher. You going into the details was spot on.

[@dbee712]

Wow! I can't believe the difference this made in how my hair looks after flat ironing now! I was having problems with my slightly longer than chin length bob always looking like a c. Not anymore thanks to you! Your videos area always clear and helpful. Please keep them coming!

[@justinhickox]

Thank you Debbie! I’m so happy they’re helping. I’ll definitely keep them coming. I appreciate the feedback!

[@denisecurry7472]

U r the best! I have been to the same person for over 5 years and she hasn't ever said anything about the stuff that u do. Love your videos. I always learn so much from u. Plus the model helps with learning

[@justinhickox]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. You’re way too kind.

[@celtichalo2886]

Thank you so very much for sharing your flat iron tutorial! It’s the BEST one that I have ever seen! Very informative and easy to follow. No need for me to look any further! I love how you demonstrated on the model first, then had her try it herself...especially when you showed her how to correct the mistakes. The part about pulling it through too fast on the ends will definitely be a game changer for me! I’m looking forward to having PERFECT waves from now on! I can’t wait to watch more of your tutorials. I’ve already subscribed! Thanks again!

Excellent having her do it!

[@yvonnemurphy2172]

Great change to see lady doing her own hair herself!!👍👍

[@civilizeddiva]

08:21: I’ll practice swerving my flat iron with my fingers while it’s OFF until I get muscle memory while singing the following song in my head ( “...slow motion for me...)😂

[@justinhickox]

Absolutely! That’s the hardest part, just getting down the muscle memory. Once you do it will be super easy for you. Can’t wait to hear how it turns out.

[@katespooner2564]

This really helped. I couldn't work out why some of the waves were coming out well and some no good. It's all to do with the speed. I slowed down & they all come out good. Thank you!

[@amber689]

THANK YOU!! I’ve never been taught how to use a flat iron, I’m 44 yo. When my 8 yo starts using these kind of things she will be taught the right way!

Well I’m late to this video…however, what a huge difference it made to my flat ironing today! Seems like such a small thing. I’m so grateful for your tutorial. I love the way my hair looks today!

[@e.starling141]

This was super helpful. I recently tried to start curling my hair with my flat iron and I had decent success, but it definitely wasn't easy initially, and I was still struggling on one side of my head, constantly having to recurl pieces. But your video really helped to simplify it for me. Thank you!!!

[@OriginalRiotGrrl]

Very helpful tips! I also love the Matt Groening "Haircuts are Hell" ref in the background 💯

Gonna try this tomorrow. Finally a good instruction thx

[@yourconnection9303]

This is great! I gave up using a flat iron because all I did was fry my hair. You really helped and I greatly appreciate this. I'd like to see results of the back of the hair please. I have a strong cowlick, and there's got to be a way to resolve that.

[@yvonneniemannphotography781]

This was very helpful and made total sense. Gave it a whirl and it really does make a difference.

[@sahara9649]

I loved the simple tip on wearing a ponytail at night. Thanks! I would be so happy if you could do a video on fine hair but a lot of it! I am struggling with getting hairdressers to cut it so that it becomes managable. I always ask them to thin it out because otherwise the effects of the flat iron wont hold.

[@jodya.1385]

Very helpful video. I am sure I will watch it several more times as I style my hair.

[@radawson1018]

Thanks for being a smart, caring and occasionally hilarious guy, Justin!

Best results I've ever gotten from a flat iron. Thank you for giving me permission to turn up the heat. One pass, smooth, and I still have volume. Even on my natural gray hair. I'm 53 and have been using a flat iron for 25 years. 🌹

Such a great tutorial! Can't wait to try curling my hair to see if I can finally master it with a flat iron.

[@debbiethomas3687]

What a great video! I can see now where I've been going wrong, things like using the lowest temperature because I was scared of damaging my hair, going too fast, not doing the whole length. At the moment my hair looks a bit like Carole's, only with more frizz from halfway down so I look a bit like a triangle (frizz from yesterday's fog). When I wash it tomorrow I'll bear these tips in mind, take my courage in my hands and turn up the power. Thank you Justin. Update. Hmm... The technique was a bit trickier than I thought. My hair is just below shoulder length and I have a tendency to pull it forward diagonally so there's no hair left when I reach what should be the ends. I think I need to practise with the straighteners turned off before I try again. That said, my hair looks better than it has done for the last three months, so I'm really happy.

[@carolinejohn4537]

Absolutely fantastic tips. The one for arm placement for the 'C' was brilliant, that has eluded me. I was doing the "end curl" thing too! I'm going to try the wave technique now. So much better that you have the model do it. Can't thank you enough! 👍

[@luciaochoa7354]

One of the best tutorials…

[@clairebradshaw3183]

Hi, this is great and has helped me loads! My only concern is that I have fine hair so I need root lift. Do you have tips for using the flatiron for root lift? I.e dry powder at the root and then using the flat iron to seal it in, or back combing, then hairspray and flatiron it? Sometimes with fine hair the flat iron makes it look thinner so I always tend to curl it so the tips are great.

[@maximac222]
