How to Make Crimped Hair Look Good

Crimped hairstyles change over the years with fashion trends. Though crimped hair is often associated with wild looks from the 1980s, the hair style is still relevant today if you know how to properly use a crimper. The hairstyle first appeared as tight bends in the hair, but today crimpers are used to create a more relaxed wavy look. Mix crimped hair with flat-ironed hair for a fresh take on this hairstyle.

Things You'll Need

• Crimper
• Flat iron
• Hairspray

Instructions

1. Section your hair into four sections. Tie the top two sections (from forehead to each ear) at the top of your head.

2. Warm up a flat iron and flat iron the bottom two sections flat.

3. Pull the first top section down and crimp the hair with the crimper.

4. Spray the crimped section with hair spray to hold it in place.

5. Untie the other top section of hair and repeat the crimping process, spraying with hairspray afterward. If you have bangs, avoid crimping them.

6. Straighten the bangs to the side using the flat iron to create a swept look.
