How to add curls using hair straighteners

Many girls fancy a change from their poker straight hair from time to time, and assume that you need to buy separate curling tongs to curl the hair. However, if you follow these simple tips, you could be using your favourite FHI straighteners to curl your hair in no time.

After washing your hair, begin by applying a product that will help to hold the curls in place once you have utilised your hair straighteners. Many people find that using a small amount of mousse or hairspray will hold any size curls in place.

In our experience, the quickest and easiest way to obtain the curls you want it using a medium size straightening iron, such as the 1 inch FHI straighteners or GHD hair straighteners.

One by one take a section of hair and beginning at the root, gently to start holding the hair in the FHI straighteners and twist. Hold the hair tighter so it wraps around the edge of the plates and pull the hair straighteners to the ends of your hair while twisting.

Why not have some fun with your hair straighteners and create some one off special effects for a really daring night out. Take one inch sections of your hair and wrap from top to tail in tinfoil; then starting at the bottom fold consortia style back up to the root; then take your straighteners and hold them on the folded wrap for a few seconds; allow to cool before removing the foil. You will have amazing zig zag effect in your hair!


Tips for Cleaning Ceramic Straighteners

Before cleaning the straightening irons, disconnect the unit from the mains. After turning your irons off, the ceramic plates will remain hot for a short period of time, during which you should exercise caution when handling the iron. Take great care never to drop the hair straighteners in water or any other liquid and avoid direct contact with water.

Wipe the casing of the FHI or GHD straighteners or whichever iron you use, with a moistened cloth, then wipe dry. The ceramic plates of the hair straighteners may be cleaned with a soft cloth and alcohol or glass cleaner, but never use any abrasive materials that may scratch the plates.
