For strong, defined straightener curls that make a real impact, this is the technique to master. By curling hair with a straightener, you get precise, sculpted definition that a curling iron simply can't replicate, giving you full control over the shape and structure of every curl.

Once styled, simply brush them out to transform that definition into deep, flowing waves. Two finishes, one tool. Follow the steps below to create this versatile, sculpted look with ease.
