Section your hair and make very tight braids with your hands
Make 10-12 braids all over your hair and pin it with bobby pins
Take straightener and then run over all those braids
After that, take out the bobby pins and separate the hair from braids
Add some invisible oil with your fingers which will make it less frizzy
You can style by making some braids from the top and pin it at the side of your head

2. Alternate Waves

Section your hair and grab some of them
Twist the grabbed hair with a flat iron towards your face; inwards
The next section you grab, make twist outwards this time with a straightener
Keep altering the twist inwards and outwards all over your hair
Finally, have some brilliante and use it with your fingers to separate your hair

3. Natural Looking Curls on Short Hair

Apply some hair protectant spray to your hair
Split your hair in half
Put one half away
Focus to that half section that you have split at first
get a vertical sliver about half an inch thick
get a flat iron
Hold it at the root at first then twist it fully and the release. You will get a spiral curl in your short hair.
Do the same in each section of your hair

4. Voluminous Bob

Section your hair in some groups
Grab a bunch of hair
Run the straightener from the root but do not twist
When the straightener reaches the mid-way or little bit more, start twisting your hair ends towards your face
Make this reverse curl at every end of your hair towards your face
When you are finished, take a brush and run it smoothly through your hair but not at the ends

5. Simple Beach Waves

Brush your hair at first to remove all tangles
Split your hair into small sections
Always curling from any side with a flat iron
Select any section, take some hair from it and twist it two times with a flat iron and release
Do the process two times in every section you take
Gradually twist all your hair from all sides except the hair on top
Now get back to the top. Do the twists with flat iron here too but do not take the hair from the root. Rather curl the hair from mid-length to the end.

6. Effortless Curls on Short Hair

Section your hair above your ear
Take your flat iron and grab 2-3 inches of hair
Start curling around 90 degrees and the release
Do not curl all the way to the tip of your hair, leave the ends as they are
Do the same all over the hair
Finally, run your fingers through your hair to piece out the waves

7. Carefree Curls on Short Hair

When you begin twisting, clip the hair and flip the hair and the straightener in reverse simultaneously.
Rapidly run the straightener right down your bit of hair.
For the back, shorter bits of your hair, twist under rather than in reverse.
The regressive strategy probably won’t work for the shorter pieces, however twisting under certainly will.

8. Tight Curls on Short Hair

Section your hair
Grab a very small portion of hair
With a flat iron, start twisting to the ends
Small plated flat iron is suggested as it helps to make small/tight curls
Do the same all over your hair
Take some invisible oil between your fingers and then run your fingers through your hair to separate them a little bit

9. Flipped Out 60’s Style

Section your hair into two groups
Grab some hair and start curling with a flat iron from the mid-way
Twist the straightener to the ends outward
Do this outward wave at every end of your hair
Take some invisible oil in your hands and run through your hair. it will make your hair look more polished
Style it with a bandana

10. Crimp Style Waves

After sectioning, grab some (3-4 inches) hair
With straightener, first, twist your hair inward and immediately twist the next part of your grabbed hair outward.
Keep doing this and you will see at least 2 inward and 2 outward sections there. The number will increase according to the length of your short hair.
Take some brilliante and use it through your hair with fingers to separate them
If you want to make them a little edgy, you can pin your hair from the side behind your ear with bobby pins

Caution

A straightener uses a lot of temperatures to style your hair. People who have thin hair are at the highest risk of damaging their hair by this excessive heat. Not only thin hair, but all other kinds of hair can also be damaged by high heat as well. This is why hair experts suggest to use a good quality hair protectant oil or spray before styling your hair with a straightener.
