A lot of people have asked me to do a video tutorial on how I curl my hair. Goodness knows I've tried multiple times to film my awkward self, but they just didn't turn out great. So, I did the next best thing in my mind: I made a photo tutorial!
Let me talk a bit about my flat iron. I've raved about this Hana flat iron when I first received it from Misikko a few months ago, and truthfully, to this day, I still love it. I'm a very thrifty gal who rarely spends money on beauty supplies, much less hair styling implements, but after working with this high quality iron, I can't ever go back to the curlers and straighteners that I find in drugstores.And trust me, I've tried a lot.
The plates on my Hana iron are so smooth, my hair never gets snagged or fried, even when I curl or straighten my hair multiple times a week. I can't say the same for other the other styling tools I've used before. I've also noticed that I don't need to put any shiny hair serums after I work with my iron, nor do I have to put on a lot of hairspray to get the amount of hold I need to get my curls to last the whole day. I was lucky enough to receive this complimentary flat iron, but when I do need to get a new one, I am not going to bat an eyelash at forking over that kind of money for a quality tool. In summary, make sure you use a quality iron if you plan on using it a lot on your hair to keep it shiny and healthy!
Ooh! What a bulky paragraph! I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. And let me know what other tutorials you'd like to see! Have a beautiful weekend♥

I love the photo tutorial. Your hair looks great as always.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! I've normally tried wrapping huge amounts of hair around the straighteners which is probably why it hasn't really worked, or when it has it didn't have much staying power. I'll have to give it a try this way!
ReplyDeleteI'm am at a complete loss on how to manage my hair. I have a flat iron I may try this. But I have one of those cheapy ones so I may need to upgrade. Very pretty. If you had a pin it button I would save it so I remember.
ReplyDeleteThis a really helpful tutorial, I'm a bit rubbish at curling my hair with my irons but will keep trying, practice makes perfect!

FINALLY! A tutorial on how to use the Hana 1.5" to create waves! I am still in the dark on how to use this beyond straightening! hope all is well!!!
ReplyDeleteVery nice and easy! I'll try that tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteYIPPEEE! A Laura tutorial! I love it! And wonderfully easy to follow! Now, can I do that without burning the &*$% out of my hands -- yet to be seen, but I'm going to try! You should definitely do a make-up tutorial too (if you feel like it ;) because your make-up always looks gorgeous, but wonderfully subtle (something I have yet to master).
ReplyDeleteHope you are having a wonderful weekend, lady!

very cute!
ReplyDeletelove how you shaped your bang. ;)
I curl my hair with my flat iron too! Your hair is always so pretty mine will only hold a curl if I let it air dry first it's very strange. Having the right tool really does help make the difference the nicer ones last forever too I think I've had my Chi for about 2 yrs now, so worth it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial, thank you for providing it! Your hair always looks beautiful so I'm excited to see the process behind the end product. I've been thinking of upgrading to a Hana for awhile, perhaps I'll save my pennies :)
ReplyDeleteHi Laura!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as ever! beautiful tutorial - this flat iron looks fantastic, i think my daughter Izzy received something similar some time ago, she said she liked it as well - I will keep an eye to see if we can get them in Canada!
take care lovely

Awesome! I have that same flat iron from Misikko and love it! I'll have to give this a try!!
ReplyDeleteI love this, I have pin straight hair and have been procrastinating on buying a straightener to curl my hair (because I really stink at using a curling iron) for a long time now. I wish these straighteners were a little cheaper though.

aww you did a great job! I haven't used tongs in years since I learned this technique :D
ReplyDeleteThis is how I do my hair too. It's great how you have put this together to share the great secret of the wave. I always say to peeps 'this is what you do' but I think it's always good to have a visual
