The Pretty Hustler Curls are something I started doing in hair school. They weren’t named that then of course but I started doing them because the first thing they gave us was a flat iron. We literally had to learn how to do everything with only this for weeks. I love the curls because as they fall they become messy waves which I live for! Here’s a brief tutorial on how they are done.
Supplies: Flat-Iron (one with rounded edges maybe easier to use), paddle brush, rat tail comb, light holding spritz or heavier depending on your preference, alligator clip, gloss serum, and a lot of patience.
Use the paddle brush to make sure your hair is free of any tangles.
Separate your hair with the alligator clips from the hair you want to curl first. Thinner sections of hair are much easier to work with than larger one for beginners.
Take your rat tail comb and comb through the section you want to curl first. Spray a small amount of the spray you choose over the hair but not directly on the hair.
Start at the top of the strand and begin to roll the flat irons down in a ribbon like motion. Keep turn the flat irons in a continuous motion until you reach the end. The longer you stay in certain areas will determine the tightness of the curve. However, try not to stay there too long because you will put dents in the strand. My biggest tip is move downward not like you’re doing an actual curl.
Complete each section until you are completely done and spray with gloss serum.
You can separate the curls or leave them together. The beauty of these is that they have kind of a messy yet put together feel anyway so they don’t have to be perfect.
In the days to come they’ll start to fall, at this point you can use your paddle brush and gloss serum to create loose waves.
Here are a few pictures of my curls but I know I’m going to have to do a video tutorial soon lol!
