Making Waves with My Flat Iron

I love using my Chi flat iron to make my hair smooth and frizz-free, but variety, as they say, is the spice of life - and I get tired of having straight hair day in and day out! That’s why I was so excited to learn the trick to “making waves” with your flat iron. It’s true: You can get sexy, tousled, wavy hair like Gwyneth Paltrow’s, and all you need is your trusty Chi flat iron.

First, blow your hair dry - as always, it’s important to make sure your hair is free from all moisture before you begin using your heat styling tool, in order to prevent damage. You may want to add a volumizing product at this stage to give your hair a bit of extra “oomph.” Next, divide your hair into small (1-2″) sections and, using your flat iron, run it down the length of each section, turning the iron up and down as you go in order to create kinks in the hair. Don’t worry about uniformity! Remember, the casual cool of this look means that randomness is half the fun. Finish up by adding a bit of texturizing product to rough up the ends of your hair and give it even more nonchalant sophistication.

I love this look! And it’s so easy to do.
