Although the focus of our tutorials is on doing cute hairstyles on my girls, you can still do all the styles on yourself as well. More and more, we receive questions on how I do my own hair in the videos we film. My goal is to include more of these self hairstyles from time to time.
This straight hairstyle is easy to do. With naturally straight or straightened hair, you can alter the way it looks a bit by using a flat iron to flip the hair ends “in” or “out”. This is the most common style technique on straight hair.
When we were being filmed for YouTube’s 20/20 special, our stylist actually recommended that I flip the ends the same direction… which was something I had never thought about, but loved it! . It turned out super cute, and I receive compliments whenever I do this!
You can do this technique on short to medium hair, but with longer hair you will not benefit from the flips as much. You can also choose to back-comb some of the hair on the top to help add a little volume. I show you how to do this in the video.
{I also apologize for the clapping of the flat iron, as it is an iron that I have had for a long time. As with all hairstyles that use heat, please be sure to use a good heat protectant first.}
Enjoy!
Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, alligator clip {to hold top sections of hair}, heat protectant, flat-iron, and hairspray.
Time Requirement: 10+ minutes
Happy Hairdoing!
