Beauty Tutorial Tuesday: 3 Ways to Style Your Hair with a Straightener

Hola! So, for my first Beauty Tutorial Tuesday I'm going to be showing you all how to style your hair 3 different ways just by using your straightener. Crazy, right?! It saves you a crap load of money because you only need one tool to do it all! So let's begin, shall we?

For all of these styles, I'm using my straightener that's about 1 inch wide that I got from Target. I also sprayed my hair with my John Freida heat protector and a style hold spray also from John Freida. The hairspray I use is from Aussie.

 

The first style is just a variation on straightening it that kind of switches things up from your normal straightened hair. Separate your hair into three sections: From you ear down, From your ear to your temples and the top part (aka the rest of your hair). Straighten the bottom two sections and flip the ends in like you normally would. Make sure your are combing or brushing your hair before you straighten each strand to make sure there are no tangles! Tie the sections back with a hair tie loosely so it's out of the way but with no kinks. In the top section, flip your bangs (or hair that falls infront of your ears) out. Same with the hair on the opposite side. Flip the rest of the top section in, untie the rest of your hair, comb/brush one last time and hairspray!

Here's the finished product!

Next style is a wavy style. This time, section your hair into two sections: From the temples down and the temples up. Take your first strand about 1-2 inches wide and hold the straightener curving the the straightener up and over. Hold for a few seconds and then reposition the straightener at the bottom of where the kink is and curve the straightener down and out. Hold and continue down the rest of the strand until the bottom and do that for each strand. Tie the bottom part back and do the same for the top part. Spray with hairspray and tousle your hair like you were scrunching it to make it a little more wild and messy looking.

The third and final look is soft curls (started with the separation into 3 like the straightened hairstyle). Start by holding the straightener upright and twirl the bottom of a 1-2 inch wide strand away from your face. Hold for a few sections (less than you would think you would have to). Then reposition the strand further up the strand but overlapping a tiny bit with the last curl. Twirl the same way you did the last and hold. Do the same for the rest of the strand and the rest of your hair. Be sure to twirl the straightener away from your face on both sides! When you're done curling, grab a wide-toothed comb (or just use your fingers) to comb out your hair. Only do it a few times or else your hair might get puffy! Hairspray and you're done!

Finished look!

 That's all for now! Try these out and let me know how it went! Bye Bye Bye!
