Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to prevent damage and ensure your waves.
Section your hair into manageable parts, using clips or hair ties. This makes it easier to work through.
Set your flat iron to a medium heat setting. Too high can cause damage, while too low might.
Take a small section of hair and twist it away from your face. This technique helps create natural-looking waves.
Clamp the flat iron on the twisted section of hair and slowly glide it down while maintaining the twist.
For a more natural look, alternate the direction of the waves as you move through your hair.
Focus on the ends of your hair for added texture. Leave the ends out of the flat iron's grip.
Once you've styled all sections, gently run your fingers through your hair to break up the waves.
Resist the urge to go over each section multiple times. Over-styling can cause heat damage.
Allow your hair to cool completely before touching it. This helps the waves set and last longer.
