The normally short, sleek haircut has been given an asymmetrical twist by adding extensions in the back of the hair at the nape and behind the ears. After blow-drying the medium length hair straight and once the extensions are added, the hair can be smoothed completely using a flat iron to create the sleek style shown.

This blond medium length hairstyle is created on a model with naturally wavy hair. You can achieve this medium length hairstyle for your own wavy locks by blow dry styling with a diffuser attachment using a volumizing mousse to maintain the natural curl, then enhancing the curl using a curling iron or Velcro rollers to give more curl where needed.

Hairstyles Tips: Curly Hairstyles with Flat Iron?

Bless the person who invented the flat iron. Previously, those of us with curly hair had to suffer through straight sedu hairstyle trends, laboring hours to straighten out unruly tresses only to achieve a fluffy mess. Now the formerly frizzy can easily reach super-smooth status.



But do you know that you can also use flat iron to curl your hair? Yes, the exact same tool you've been using as a straightener does double duty to create gorgeous, bouncy curls hairstyles too.

Tools Required:

* Flat iron
* Heat damage protection gel


Methods:

1. Choose the right flat iron. You need a skinny one; an inch-and-a half or less is best. If your hair is very coarse or curly, the flat iron needs to get very hot, at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Look for a flat iron with rounded edges on the plates to prevent unnatural "dents" in your hair.

2. Apply a light gel that contains a heat protector to prevent hair damage.

3. Dry hair completely. Even slightly damp hair will not curl as well, and a good blowout gives you a smooth start for frizz-free curls.
4. Clamp a 1- to 2-inch section of hair about halfway through the strand and turn the flat iron one-and-a-half turns in the direction you want your curl.

5. Pull the flat iron through the strand while maintaining tension on the curl.

6. Repeat on small sections of hair until it's all curled. Don't worry—the more you do it, the faster you'll get.
7. Spray with hairspray to make your curls last longer. Use aerosol hairspray to avoid over wetting you curls. Spray underneath, too.

Sound simple? It's that simple, so try out yourself one day to have complete change of new hairstyle look.

Steps Wavy Hair

1. Condition your hair, massaging your scalp to get rid of build-up and excess oil. Shampoo your hair every other day, or best; only two days in a week. (shampooing every day dries out your hair)Once a week is best if you can.
2. Comb hair in shower while conditioner is still in. Never towel dry hair. Instead, air dry or diffuse.
3. Pour a dollop of liquid straightening serum and a smaller dollop of glossing serum into your hand and mix them together.
4. Apply the straightening-glossing serum mixture to sections of your hair. Twist each section around your fingers, hold for a few seconds, then release. Do this all over your head.
5. Turn your head down. Dry your hair with a blow-dryer with a diffuser attachment until your hair is completely dry.
6. Spray hair lightly with an anti-frizz spray.

7. Or... You can be sure to condition your hair thoroughly in the shower, combing through it with you fingers (not a comb). When you get out of the shower, put some leave-in conditioner or curl cream in it, followed by gel (don't worry, your hair will absorb a lot and prevent frizz--it won't get crusty unless you overload on the gel). Let air dry.

Tips for Wavy Hair

• Diffusers have prongs to lift the hair as it is dried. If you want volume at the roots, buy a diffuser with the longest prongs you can find. These are most easily found at salons or beauty supply stores.
• When blow-drying with a diffuser, gather large sections of hair into the cup of the diffuser and hold close to your head.
• For extra volume at the roots, move the blow-dryer in a small circular motion while hair is cupped in the diffuser at the scalp.
• Save money by using a straightening serum, which works wonderfully for blow-drying hair into ringlets or creating a straight style.
• If you want to do something different (and you can stand to part with your long hair) consider this style: have long bangs, but cut the rest of your hair really short (like only an inch or two long). The really short part is too short to curl, and you can straighten your bangs if you want. If your hair is more wavy than curly, your bangs might look fine as is, though. This haircut is also really easy to wash and takes no time at all to style.
• * Only wash your hair once a day, every other day or every 2 days. That may sound gross to you, but as long as you take a shower and clean your body and put conditioner in it, it will look good and not be greasy.
• Some good products are Pantene Pro-V for curly hair, Sun Silk for curly hair, John Frieda frizz ease for curly hair and Garnier curl and shine. Herbal Essences also has a new line for curly hair that works wonders!
• Thick and wavy hair requires different care than straight. If you aren't willing to work with it, consider cutting it shorter. Keep in mind that shorter hair won't weigh itself down & may look "poofy" if cut too short.
• Don't blow dry too closely to your head or frizz may occur!
• Try a method that NaturallyCurly.com calls "plopping." Comb your hair in the shower, use your favorite product to scrunch your hair (make sure you REALLY scrunch all the way around). Lay a t-shirt flat on a chair, with the neck hole closest to you. Pile (or plop!) your hair on top of your head and lean upside down over the t-shirt. Fold the widest part of the t-shirt (not the neck) over your head/hair and secure it in place by tieing the sleaves together. Let your hair dry, or almost dry, plopped up on your head and your curls will be amazing!!

Be careful !

• Don't brush your hair after it is dry, or you you will get really poofy bad hair that isn't straight, curly or wavy!
• It is possible to burn yourself with a diffuser, so hold it an inch or two away from your scalp.
• Do not get the spray in your eyes!
