A flat iron can do more than straighten strands; these beauty tools can create numerous styles.
Start with freshly washed, dry hair that has been treated with heat protectant and spray 2-inch sections with your preferred formula before running your flat iron over them – consider this technique a faster way of creating curls!
Flippy Ends
The flipped hairstyle is a lovely feminine style. Perfect for short hair with highlights, this simple style can be worn for casual events. Smoothing oils and shine sprays help maintain their appearance over time.
This classic look never goes out of fashion, featuring a flipped bob cut for those with shoulder-length or longer hair and an off-center part, creating a fuller and voluminous style with lush curls that reach to mid back.
To create this look:
1. Begin with neatly brushed hair and divide it into 2-inch sections.
2. Slip the end of a rat-tail comb through your center part for a side part.
3. Begin blow-drying straight using a flat iron, twisting away from your face as you descend toward the ends.
4. Continue this process throughout your locks, finishing it with some spray hairspray for added hold.
S-Waves
S waves (secondary shear or side-to-side waves) arrive next and cause the ground to move back and forth in waves that oscillate up and down or back and forth, often called transverse body waves due to how they vibrate the Earth in directions perpendicular to where wave travel is taking place. They cannot travel through liquids (water, magma). Because these S waves move much slower than P waves, they cause horizontal shaking instead of vertical movements; their speeds in solid materials like rocks, soil, or ice is approximately 3.8 kilometers per second but decrease as depth increases compared to their travel speed near Earth surface speed than deeper within.
Beachy Waves
According to Franck Izquierdo, Sebastian’s Professional International Artist and stylist, beach waves are a timeless hairstyle that works on any texture. According to Izquierdo, beach waves appear “more undone in an effortless manner compared to a smooth, glamorous wave,” as he states in an interview for Sebastian Professional International Artist and Stylists.
To achieve the style:
1. Use leave-in conditioning spray or lightweight mousse through damp hair before air drying or diffusing.
2. Alternatively, apply Ndeg.7 BONDING OIL before styling using a curling iron.
To achieve a lowkey modern bob with beachy waves:
1. Section your hair at the ear-to-ear nape area.
2. Use a medium-sized curling iron to grab random strands and twist them in different directions – leaving other sections straight for an authentic, lived-in finish.
3. Finally, add texturizing spray and hairspray for a sultry finish!
If your hair is fine and inflexible, beach waves may not be your ideal styling solution – as they appear choppy and uneven instead of full and voluptuous.

Curls
Cascading curls are perfect for creating an eye-catching 80s look. Long platinum blonde curls will look spectacular with this style; alternatively, consider asking your stylist about including super short layers at the crown to give this style more dimension and subtlety.
According to Nelms, curly hair requires special care and consideration to maintain its shape. “To maintain healthy locks with curly locks, use products specifically tailored for this type of hair, such as leave-in conditioners that nourish strands with botanical oils or leave-in products such as Garnier Whole Blends Oat Delicacy Gentle Detangling hair Milk which have earned us Good Housekeeping Beauty Awards,” according to her advice.
Give your curly locks a date night makeover with this elegant style that’ll have you looking like Old Hollywood. Part your hair on one side, pull a section over one shoulder, and secure it with working hairspray for added security.
