3 steps to beautiful summer hair

Use your straightening iron to put movement into your hair.
3 steps to great summer hair

Want to use your straightening irons to put movement into your hair rather that making it ultra flat? Dimitri Fronis of Cloud Nine showed us how.

1. Take a section of hair no wider than the size of the heated plates; pin the rest out of the way.

2. Begin straightening at the roots. As you move the iron, turn it so that it’s at a horizontal angle to the head rather than vertical. The further you turn, the more bend your hair will get. Repeat with each section.

3. If your hair gets fluffy or wavy, then use a small round brush to stretch and create tension first. Follow it with the irons, using two hands just like blow-drying. Never pull or stretch hair with the irons.

The Cloud Nine Touch $279

Note: The Cloud Nine Touch $279 is the fastest iron ever. There’s no on-off switch and you control the temperature by tapping the ceramic plates together.
