Whether you're a total novice or just looking to refine your technique, here's your step-by-step guide on curling your hair with a straightener.
Why Choose the Beauty Works Straightener for Curling?
This isn’t just a straightener - it’s a high-performance styler. Designed with curved outer casing, it’s made for more than straight styles. The curved barrel allows you to effortlessly create textured curls and tousled waves.

How Do You Curl Hair with the Beauty Works Straightener?
Here’s a step-by-step method perfect for beginners:
- Power on and choose your temperature
Hold the power button for 2–3 seconds, then use the LCD temperature control to set your heat. Start low (e.g. 150°C–170°C for fine or coloured hair) and adjust if needed.
-
Prep your hair
Prep your hair with Beauty Works Heat Protection Spray or 10-in-1 Miracle Spray to shield strands and enhance shine. Then clip hair into manageable sections using sectioning clips to ensure even styling.
-
Clamp and twist
-
Take a 1–2 inch piece of hair
-
Clamp the straightener near the root
-
Rotate it away from the face
-
Slowly glide down the strand while keeping the twist.
-
Let curls cool
Release the curl gently into your palm and allow it to cool and set before moving on.

Repeat and finish
Continue curling each section around the head. Once all sections are curled and have fully cooled, brush through using your fingers or gently with a soft bristle brush to soften and blend the curls. Finish with Beauty Works Super Hold Hairspray to lock in your style and add lasting hold.
