I’m always psyched for ways to make a single tool take on multiple functions — in the kitchen and when I’m getting dressed. My flatiron is seriously the workhorse of my beauty routine — it’s my go-to tool for an easy, polished hairstyle, and I use it almost every time I do my hair.
But a flatiron can do more than just smooth, straight locks — it can also give you tight, adorable ringlet girls. Don’t believe me? Watch the video, and then try it for yourself!

Hey! I was just wondering if you could tell us what hair type you have (fine, normal,…?) Thanks!

My flat iron by Panasonic has a barrel as well as a flat part to it.. the barrel is huge… have you seen them in NYC?

I’m obsessed with my flat iron, too. I love that we can also use them for curling. Who knew! Thanks for the video!

Kristyn — Mine is normal to thick! If you had really fine hair, this would take about 1/3 the time. But I think the thicker hair you have, the more effective a flatiron will be, as opposed to a curling iron!
Elle Marie — Oooh, interesting — I don’t think so!

Awesome!!! Thanks for the tip! I had no idea! Does the size of the flat iron matter? I think mine is a little bigger than yours… it would probably just make bigger curls, right? Oh! And love the feline lipstick! It looks great on you! =)

It shouldn’t matter — the angle you’re holding the flatiron at is going to determine how tight the curls are, not the size of the panel! Let me know how it goes!

You’re right! It’s the angle! =)

Katy! I actually have a blog post qued up in wordpress to go out next week that is on this very topic haha. I guess great minds think alike
I usually opt for a flat iron to curl my hair over a curling iron because I think it lasts a lot longer.

It’s a fair concern — I have gotten a few really yucky burns from mine! Between that and our oven, it’s always something…

This is the best tutorial I’ve seen! I think it’s because your hair is almost exactly like mine, except that mine is red and a bit thinner. Thank you!
