Gather your materials and lay them out.

Turn on your straightening iron and let it heat up for about a minute to the highest heat setting. Mine was at 410F.

Comb through clean hair to make sure there are no knots. Section hair into two parts; top and bottom. FYI: this guide is for straight long hair and will work for medium length hair as well.

Secure your hair with an elastic or clip to prevent it from falling.

For a wavy look with looser curls, run your fingers or brush through your curls. Now you have finished the look. Smile for the camera!
