Hermione · Kate Spade

please to explain?

Claudia · Gucci

You use the CHI like you would with any hair curler. You do not need hairspray or anything. ( I didn't use any)

I'll try to post a pic.

You curl your hair with the straightener?

i LOVED curling my hair with my flat iron when it was long.

claudia- i'm gonna explain how i do it but please post yours as well! i want to hear how someone else does it.

it is kind of hard to explain but basically you grab a piece of your hair with the iron flat out and then turn the iron kind of like you are curling ribbon... pull your hair out and it should give you nice pretty waves.

i couldn't do this without using my Kenra thermal styling spray. my hair refuses to hold curl unless i put something in it to memory and lock the curl.

I've been wanting to do this with my Chi as well. Do you have to be concerned about burning your hair? Do you just curl it in the iron quickly?

how long is your hair? I wonder if mine is too short for this.

Also, do you think it would work with a cheaper straightener? My hair is naturally stick-straight, so I don't know about spending big $ on a straightener.

I have a cheaper one and it does fine with my hair wants to get a little flippy at the ends. I would love to try this to

I think one of the reasons it curls is because the CHI is a skinny straightner.

I'm sure it works on short hair too. My hair is a bit past my shoulders.
