Blow dry with soft flat iron curls

A styling technique that combines a professional blow-dry with the use of a flat iron to create soft, natural-looking curls or waves. This method results in a polished, voluminous hairstyle with gentle curls that add movement, texture, and a touch of elegance.

Breaking It Down

1. Blow Dry:
   • The hair is first blow-dried to achieve smoothness, volume, and a polished base.
   • A round brush or paddle brush is typically used during the blow-dry process to straighten the hair, add body, and eliminate frizz.
   • Blow-drying ensures the hair is sleek and prepped, creating the perfect foundation for curls.
2. Soft Flat Iron Curls:
   • After the blow-dry, a flat iron (straightener) is used to create curls or waves.
   • The stylist takes small sections of hair and wraps them around the flat iron, twisting it gently to form soft, loose curls.
   • The curls are intentionally styled to look relaxed and natural rather than tight or overly defined, creating a soft and flowing effect.

What Makes This Style Popular?

1. Soft and Natural Finish:
   • The combination of the blow-dry and flat iron creates curls that look effortless and natural, avoiding the rigid appearance of traditional curling methods.
2. Volume and Movement:
   • The blow-dry adds volume at the roots, while the curls add texture and movement to the hair.
3. Versatility:
   • This technique works on various hair lengths and textures and can be customized to suit casual outings, formal events, or everyday wear.

Who is it For?

• Clients with Straight or Slightly Wavy Hair:
  • Ideal for those who want to add curls or waves while keeping their hair smooth and frizz-free.
• Those Looking for Long-Lasting Style:
  • The combination of a professional blow-dry and flat iron curls ensures the style lasts longer, especially when paired with the right finishing products.
• All Hair Lengths:
  • Works well on medium to long hair, but can also be tailored for shorter styles, such as bobs or shoulder-length cuts.

Styling Process

1. Prep the Hair:
   • Apply a heat protectant spray to shield the hair from heat damage.
   • Use a volumizing mousse or lightweight styling product for added hold and body.
2. Blow Dry:
   • Dry the hair section by section using a round or paddle brush to create a smooth, sleek finish.
   • Add volume at the roots by lifting the hair with the brush while drying.
3. Flat Iron Curls:
   • Once dry, take 1-2 inch sections of hair and curl them using a flat iron.
   • Twist the flat iron gently as you slide it down the length of the hair to create soft curls or waves.
   • Alternate the direction of the curls for a more natural, undone look.
4. Finishing Touches:
   • Let the curls cool before gently running your fingers through them to break them up and soften the look.
   • Use a light-hold hairspray to set the style while keeping it soft and touchable.
   • Add a serum or shine spray for extra gloss and polish.
