Going Curly and Straight with a Flat Iron

Gwyneth: Pretty curly or straight!

I think the best flat irons are the kind that have a slight curve in the barrel so that you use it as a straightener or as a curling iron.  Obviously, creating spiral curls isn’t really possible with a flat iron but creating loose, pretty waves that look natural is best done with a flat iron.  When Gwyneth Paltrow’s hair was long, she had a perfect balance of those two looks.  Seriously, how flawless does her hair look??  I have this picture printed out and taped to my bathroom mirror so that I can imitate her style everyday.  And whether I go curly or straight just depends on my mood!  I have been able to create so many fun hairstyles with my flat iron and my hair looks healthier than ever before.  I make sure to use a protectant on my hair before I style it and my locks look glossy and shiny like Gwyneth’s.
