What you need
Steps
Start with clean, fully dry hair. Comb through with a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles so each section curls evenly.
Spray heat protectant on each section before any heat touches your hair. Let it dry for a minute.
Divide hair into four parts using clips. Work one section at a time and keep the rest clipped out of the way.
Set the flat iron to a low to medium heat, around 300 to 350 F for natural hair. Test on a small hidden strand first.
Take a small strand, clamp the flat iron near the roots, then twist the iron as you pull slowly down to the ends to form a curl.
Release the curl and let it cool in your hand or pin it loosely. Do not pull it straight while it is still hot.
Repeat on each strand in the section until the whole head is curled.
Wrap the cooled curls around rollers to set the shape and add volume. Leave them in for 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove the rollers gently, then separate curls with your fingers. Avoid brushing so the curl pattern stays.
Finish with a light oil or serum on the ends to reduce frizz and add shine.
Tips and common mistakes
Always use heat protectant and keep the iron below 350 F to avoid heat damage on natural hair.
Curl small sections, about one inch wide, for a tighter, more defined result.
Let each curl cool completely before touching it, or it will drop and lose shape.
Do not brush the finished curls, only separate them with your fingers.
Questions
What heat setting should I use on natural hair?
Keep the flat iron at a low to medium setting, around 300 to 350 F. Test on a small strand first and raise the heat only if needed.
How long do the curls last?
Curls usually hold for a day or two. Sleeping with a satin bonnet or loose pineapple helps them last longer.
Can I curl wet hair with a flat iron?
No. Only use a flat iron on fully dry hair, since wet hair can be damaged by the heat.
