Ribbon curls are sleek and look like a piece of satin ribbon gently falling into spirals. You can update your spiral curls simply by choosing a different appliance to create them. You can get these beautiful shiny ribbon like curls by using your narrow flat iron. |
First, decide on the size of the curls that you want. A one inch square piece of hair will produce curls the size that this model is wearing. Larger sections, such as four inch squares will produce larger undulating coils or gentle waves. Experiment with different sizes for different styles.

When you get to the ends of the strand, you may need to readjust the iron to finish the curl. You can create a tight ringlet on the end or form them into a loose curve. | |
The flat iron pictured here is a BaBlyss Pro. It has one inch ceramic plates and easy grip handle. It gets very hot in order to produce great results. Irons that don’t heat to the proper temperature produce more frustration than results. Proper temperature depends on your hair. If your hair is very strong and hard to control, higher temperatures are necessary. Fine hair requires milder temperatures. This iron also has felt on the outside to aid in controlling the hair however this isn’t a necessary feature for home use. |
