Create Curls using Amika Flat Iron
1. It is always best to start with a smooth, straightened hair. So, with a paddle brush, blow dry your hair to smooth and straighten it.2. Turn your styling rod on to medium-to-high heat. Depending on the hair texture, you can determine the heat level. If you hair is thick, keep the heat closer to high. If it is fine, heat the straightener closer to medium.
3. Mist a hair styling spray all over your hair. If necessary, flip your head upside down to get to the underneath sections near the nape of your neck.
4. Let your hair to naturally part on top. Leave it as so, if you generally wear a side part.
5. Take apart your hair into two sections--the left and right sides. Clip away one of the two sections to focus on one side at a time.
6. Utilize the tip of a hair clip to divide a part from the temple of your head to the tip of your ear on one side.
7. Clip away all other hair on that side so that you are only working with the separated part.
8. Place the iron around the roots of your hair. Pull the tool down about 1/2 inch and curl it up. Keep on doing this, moving down the section of hair and curling the straightener every 1/2 inch. When you finish, the section of hair should be both around and within the flat iron. Release your hair from the device.
9. Use the tip of a hair clip to divide another diagonal section about 1 inch above the preceding section.
10. Create two 2-inch sections from the separated diagonal section of hair referenced in the earlier step. Separating your hair will aid you curl it consistently. Curl both portions of hair independently.
11. Using this method, go on to work your way around your head, until you have achieved your preferred look.
