There are many ways to flip your hair.It could mean styling it in a certain way.It could be flicking your hair over your shoulder in a flirtatious way.There are many ways to flip your hair, from styling to shoulder flipping.
Step 1: Start with clean, dry hair.
You will be blow drying your hair and curling it.That "flipped" look will be created by this.If you want to protect your hair from heat, consider spraying it.It will keep your hair from getting damaged while you blow dry it.
Step 2: A small section of hair should be placed between a round brush and the hair dryer.
If you want to flip your hair around, put the hair dryer over it and a brush under it.Put the brush over your hair and the hair dryer under it if you want to flip it.Between the hair dryer and the brush is where your hair should be.A tube-shaped brush is better than a paddle brush.
Step 3: The hair dryer should be brought to the center of the hair shaft.
Start sliding the hair dryer and hair brush towards the middle of your hair when you turn it on.You should slide the hair dryer and brush at the same time.When you are half way down the hair shaft, stop.
Step 4: When you are half way down the hair shaft, twist the brush.
If you want your hair to flip inward, you have to twist the brush towards you.If you want your hair to flip out, place the nozzle of the hair dryer under your head, and then place a hair brush over it.As you bring both down, twist the brush up and away from you.
Step 5: If you have thick or curly hair, use a flat iron.
Take a small section of hair and place the flat iron half-way down.Start styling your hair.If you reach the ends of your hair, instead of rotating the iron straight down, bring it inwards/outwards.Before using the flat iron, be sure to use a heat protecting spray.Flat irons can cause more damage than a hair dryer.
Step 6: Start with clean hair.
The style works with all hair types.It's best for long hair and shoulder length.Your ponytail won't flip if your hair is too short.
Step 7: Put your hair in a ponytail.
This style is also called an "upside down ponytail."This style can also be used with a half up, half down style.
Step 8: A hair tie is needed to secure the ponytail at the nape of your neck.
You want some space between the hair tie and the back of your head, so don't make it too tight.
Step 9: Just above the hair tie, put your finger through your hair.
You should have the same amount of hair on one side of your finger.Make sure that your finger is sticking up.A special loop made for flipping ponytails is easier to use by some people.If you bend the pipe cleaner in half, you can use that instead.
Step 10: You can grab the ponytail with your finger.
You can make a hook shape with your finger.Slip the ponytail through the loop if you are using a special loop.The ends of your hair should be facing you.
Step 11: The ponytail should be pulled through the hole.
Along with the ponytail, tug your fingers down through the hole.Don't let the hair tie go through the hole, but tug it down as far as you can.You have pulled too much if that happens.If you're having trouble getting the ponytail through the hole, try spreading your first two fingers over it.You can push the ponytail through the hole.
Step 12: If necessary, smooth the ponytail down.
However, be gentle.If you brush or comb the hair too hard, it can pull your ponytail all the way through the hole.
Step 13: Just below the "flip", add a hair clip or bow.
It can add that final touch to your hair.
Step 14: Start with clean hair.
You want your hair to be as smooth as possible because you will be flipping it to create a side part.Your part may end up messy if your hair isn't smooth.It works best with straightened hair.
Step 15: Next, cut your hair down the center.
The side part will be created when you flip part of your hair to the side.
Step 16: You can use the end of a rat-tail comb to comb through your hair.
Depending on how large the side part is, you can place the comb far away from the center part.If you want to angle the end of the comb towards the center-back of your head, consider pointing it straight back.
Step 17: The comb should be placed on the opposite side of your head.
Lift your hair and turn it into a page in a book.
Step 18: Touch the side part.
To smooth down stray hairs, use the comb part.
Step 19: The side part should be set with some spray.
This may not be necessary if you have thick or stiff hair.If your hair won't hold the part easily, smooth it down and spray it with a lightweight spray.
Step 20: Your hair needs to be free of tangles.
This will help you sway your hair over your shoulder.The more smooth your hair is, the more effective the motion will be.
Step 21: It's important that the person you want to flirt with is looking at you.
Try to make eye contact with them for a second.If you don't overdo it, you will be too obvious.
Step 22: You can flip your hair back over your shoulder.
Take a piece of your hair and drape it over your shoulder.Put the back of your hand against your hair and flick it back at the wrist.Your hair will flip over your shoulder.This works best with hair that falls between your shoulders.It may not be as effective if your hair is too long or short.A small, less dramatic motion can be used.This will make it look more natural.You will look unnatural if you try to make a huge show of your hair flip.
Step 23: Your hair is in a ponytail.
The work was done with just about any length of ponytail, but it will be most effective with tails that reach your shoulder.Turn your head towards one shoulder and sweep it towards the other.If you want your flick to be even more effective, try to dip your head down as you reach the middle of your turn.This causes your ponytail to flip more.If you have long hair, you might catch someone in the face.
Step 24: Be positive.
Hair flipping is associated with confidence.Stand tall with your back straight and hold your head high to make yourself appear more confident.
