After the holiday season, comes all the sales, all the diets, and all the resolutions. Starting the year, or the week with a new diet, a new workout plan, or a new resolution is said to be cliché and the recipe for failure. My advice is to start the year with a twist on the way you did something last year.

Creating waves and curls with a flat iron may take some practice but these tips will make this look totally achievable.
Begin at the nape of the neck in larger sections than if you were using the iron to straighten your hair
Hold the iron at in a diagonal position
Begin curling half way down the hair shaft
Make smooth turns as you twist the iron down the hair shaft
Do not hold the iron on the hair as you will create dented waves
For a tighter curl tilt the iron in a more horizontal position
Curl the hair back away from the face
Separate the waves with your fingers to create a looser look
