How To Curl Hair With a Flat Iron!

- Curling hair with a flat iron seems very easy (once you know the techniques), but it is still one of the biggest questions asked - How do I curls my hair with a flat iron? So I wanted to create a video that goes through many curling techniques and hair curling fundamentals.
I hope this video will make hair styling a much more enjoyable process. I wanted to go through the simple hand moves and twists that create a world of difference when styling and/or curling the hair using a hair straightener. Let's begin with our how to curls hair with flat iron techniques:
1st Technique: How to twist the flat iron
It is important to understand which way you want the flat iron to create the hair curls: curls toward the face or curls away from the face. Curls that are away from the face open the facial features. Old hollywood glam type of waves are always toward the face. Of course you can alternate them to create that volume and dimension in the hair. It is up to you what you wan to do. I would play with both types of hair curls and see which way you like it more.
2nd Technique: How to hold the Flat Iron
This is where most people get confused. How to exactly hold the flat iron to create those effortless looking hair curls and/or waves. Let's go move by move and see if we can make it a bit easier to understand:
a. Holding and pulling the flat iron downward more vertically will give you loose waves. The more vertical and downward the motion, the more loose the wave will be.
b. While holding and then pulling the flat iron more horizontally will give you tighter hair curls.
c. Holding the flat iron vertically and pointing upward will provide curls that resemble a curling wand. You will notice that the hair curls are more voluminous with this method.
d. The next technique is no twist method. Hold the flat iron vertically, wrap the hair around it once and then inside the flat iron plates plates, clamp and pull down. This is the easiest method. However, the curls will be lower on the hair. So this is a great hair curling method for those with long hair.
3rd Technique: The bend method
In this method we are going for those s-type of waves. There is a lot of twisting with this method. This method will require a lot of practice before getting good results. You will have to twist the flat iron one way and then opposite way as you go dow the hair. As you get more practice you will notice that your curls will look more consistent.
4th - The Press Method
This method is very easy because there is no twisting involved. You create a pattern you want and then press the pattern inside the flat iron to create har curls. However, this is the most time consuming of all the methods. You can get very creative with this method, for instance twisting hair around chop sticks and then pressing it inside the flat iron will give you very unique looking hair curls. Or you can do pin up hair curls... There is no end to what you can create with this method. Have fun with this one.

I watch your videos ALL THE TIME, but I never comment because I am 52 years old and, though I learn a lot from your channel, I don’t feel I have much to contribute. This video, and many others, show women who grew up with hot rollers (and curling irons, but long lasting waves came from hot rollers) how to modernize our hairstyles and use modern appliances. You do that so well with make up too. Thank you for being inclusive and breaking it down in to smaller steps so we can all enjoy new styles!
Never say you don't have much to contribute.
Ditto, 53 this yr. I love her. She doesn’t bs around, which I appreciate. Informative and likable.
@Brandii Linville You must have so many tips from years back which are elegant and are used by people nowadays. you can start your own channel and give fashion tips :)
52 is the new 34. Haven't you heard;) Own it girl!
I’m 55, have long purple hair and I have more hair styling tools than anyone I know. Age means nothing so don’t use it as an excuse.
Yes I needed this. I'm so bad at curling with a flatiron
Same! I spent $500 for the Dyson just so I could curl with it too, but .I’m struggling!!!
It's a wizard skill I'm pretty sure
If you have ears to hear, hear and understand you are probably one of GODS lost sheep that needs to be found there is this hole in your heart and you tried many times and many things and many ways to fill it and still are but it’s not working and it keeps getting bigger and bigger you would be around multiple people and still feel lonely and work so hard to take those bad thoughts away etc but let me tell you JESUS is the one who can fill that whole in your heart JESUS is that missing piece you’ve been looking for, that peace that’s never ending that true love and joy and happiness it’s in JESUS not of this world but of the kingdom of heaven and if you want to accept him in your heart all you have to do is believe in the gospel A-admit that you’re a sinner and that you need forgiveness, B-Believe that JESUS CHRIST died for your sins and rose again, and C-Confess your faith in JESUS CHRIST and his lordship over your life and you will be saved and this amazing feeling is not a drug it won’t last a couple hours but forever eternally bc it is not of this world but of GOD who sits on the throne of heaven forever and ever HALLELUJAH ✝️❤️
My technique is basically: grab random section, at random angle, pulling at random direction. 😂
Same here lol. I’m not fussing. 😅🤷🏻♀️
🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏼♀️🤣🤣🤣
😁 same here
That's realistic curls lol
Same 🤦🏻♀️😂
Girl! You make it look so easy!! I tried and I ended up with a birds nest on my head and a burnt thumb!!! I shall keep on trying!
For people who have coordination issues (me lmao) I can never get the classic twist of the hand down with a straightener, so all the methods you show are really great and accessible for people like me! Thank you !!! ❤
Thank you thank you thank you!! This was by FAR the simplest but most comprehensive tutorial on flat ironing I've seen!
I cannot thank you enough for this video. I have tried for years to curl my hair with a straightener and it NEVER made sense or worked for me. This video changed that and I am so happy! (I used the Wrap Method) THANK YOU!
I am a little confused, I have seen you put the hair IN the iron and then wind it, and here you put the hair AROUND the iron and then pull it thru. Why the difference? Or does it matter? I love your videos and have learned so much from you. I am 71 years and have very layered hair. All these new techniques are terrific! Keep it up.
Break time at work because I NEED this!!
Has anyone noticed that the older Milana gets, the younger she looks?! Stunning.

Very useful video. Probably the best smooth demonstration i've ever seen with equally relaxing therapeutic voice.
You are awesome. I cannot tell you how many times I have tried to curl my hair. Something happens when I take hold of my straightener, it’s like my brain takes a nap and I can’t seem to coordinate my hands and hair and the direction of the twist. I had given up honestly; til today! I am excited to try again 🎉You made this so simple with so many excellent tips. I am so grateful.
I never comment on videos!barely watch TH-cam but I had to say a HUGE thank you for this video-I have tried for years to curl using straighteners and I finally managed it after watching your video. Thank you so much!
Wow..one of the most interesting curling videos I have watched.
Perfect timing! I just bought a new straightener with curved edges so I'm going to be using these tips. Thank you!
OMG, the kind of the video I have been looking for for so so long. So lucky to figure out your channel.
One of the BEST videos on how to curl hair with a flat iron. LOVED it! I have the same Dyson flat iron so I will definitely try your methods with it. Thank you so much for this video
I actually did my hair like she did at the beginning of the video today. I watched one of her videos on flat iron curling almost a year ago and i learned it from her. I also alternate the way the hair curls like she does.
Me too! She is the best!
I’m horrible with my hair & make up, but love watching your videos for tips & tricks, which I still can’t master!
I can def appreciate this video as I don't do much to my hair outside of blow drying mostly being lazy but the times I've wanted to do something to my hair not being familiar with the techniques is kinda what doesn't allow me to explore. So thank you for this.
Girl!! Yes!! The best flatiron video I have ever seen!! Thanks!!
Thank you for slowing down the flat iron curling process and showing multiple options! This is a really helpful video.
Just got a new flat iron. First time today curling w one. Great video for newbie like me. Thanks Malibu.
Looove this video! You’re probably my fav reviewer/tutorial/youtuber because you’re so thorough!
Could you do a video about the different types of French braids? Like maybe a full head braid. Or a braid that starts underneath the hair etc. 🙂
I was searching for a dyson coralle review but I found one of the best videos on using a flat iron for curls. Loved it. Thank you for making and sharing
This is one of the best how to curl videos! Ty so much

I could watch your hand movements all day long. Very elegant.
Genius !thank you! now comedy me trying to do this on my own
Seriously, thank you for this! I always want wavy hair, yet I never quite know how to do it. (I basically throw it in a messy bun everyday.) You're videos are the best!
First time watching your videos in search of a perfect curl and OMG. You are amazing. I learned so many techniques just by looking at you doing this and just want to say Thank you, Thank you, God bless you my dear you are so talented.
Thank you so much for the lessons, I learnt so much. I have the Dyson flattener and does not really know how to use it. Now, I realized there are so many techniques I can try.
This is the best hair curling video I've found so far, thank you Milabu!

Awesome, never thought of using a flat iron to curl. Looks like it's less damaging to hair then curling iron. Thanks for sharing. Love all your videos🌹
Love watching all these tips and tricks 😍 ❤.
I loved this video I've never been able to do the curling with a flat iron and I've tried belive me..! This made it so much easier to understand and now I'm going to try again to do it with the many ways you showed me. Also my hair never likes to stay curled either. More of a straight hair girl I guess but love to try to make it work just hate to put so much hairspray in that it's stiff as wood.
Such a helpful guide! Thankyou for sharing 😍
You're videos are the best!
Gosh! You make it look so easy!
This is a super helpful tutorial. I'm going to try these techniques.
Best flat iron tutorial I've seen so far. Maybe I will take that flat iron out and give it another try. I had all but given up since I had no skill other than with a traditional curling iron. I'm excited to try new waves styles.
The bend is my natural hair texture! Lol however I have 2 stubborn almost straight sections that I can now bend to match the rest! Thank you 😊
I love how meticulous you are and how you clearly explain the different techniques and results! And I thought the guy in the background who said, “Wow” at 5:04 was so funny!
Love your videos ! Keep them coming 😃
Thanks for the excellent content! The way you give so much direct information makes your content easy to understand! As someone who's never "got" how to do my hair {the same way, some people just don't get math} your videos helped me figure out an aspect of my apperance that I've been able to control or enjoy. Thanks for the positive and uplifting way you thoughtfully and generously share such useful information!💕
Hey, I'm like you,I never figured out how to do hair.. lol.. so happy I found her channel.. gonna try some styles..
Thank you for this, you explain it so well ❤
Wow. Thank you for this video.❤😮
Yah, finally a hair tutorial, always loved your hair tutorials, Please bring them back more regular, especially now that your hair has grown. ❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love this! Thank you!
Thanks just bought this iron as never been good at curling my hair
Love this! The issue I run into is that I have naturally curly hair and often need to straighten my hair first to achieve the same looks. I’m interested to see how the bend method works on my hair. 😊
Mam my hair is to much thick how can I curl my hair at home pls reply me
hiiii i have super curly hair naturally so instead of straightening my hair before waving or curling like this i smooth it dry from wet with a revlon onestyler then once it’s smooth i go back with a wand depending on what style i want that day :)) not sure if i made sense? lol😅
51 and finding this channel helpful and not just focussed on the younger generation
Thanks for sharing. Appreciate
Thank you!!! I needed this!
Echt genial, werd auf jedenfall ein zwei Tipps aus probieren, mir hat das Video echt gefallen, danke dafür❣
I love this video!! Thank you thank you!!!
loving the 'S' METHOD!
This flat iron seems very good. I need one. 😃
I bought myself a flat iron for the first time after seeing can do loose curls/waves. Find it quicker & easier than trying to use a curling wand.
I also think it‘s easier with a flat iron.
Great tips and fun ideas!
this is the best video to ever be made!!
Love it ❤️... it was very helpful
I love your straitening iron so cool that it is cordless ps.love your video so much help!
Yesss I need this video, thanks a lot.

Thanks for making this video. I enjoyed it. I think that Dyson flat iron makes all the difference when creating these looks because of the beveled edges.
Love this tutorial
This was very helpful.
