Best Answer

I'm pretty certain the answer to this question is rather.... obvious. But here goes...

A straightener is supposed to heat hair so it becomes malleable. So as you run the straightener through a set of strands, the hair is heated and straightened by the motion you put the strands through. If you twist and spin the straightener while running hair through it, you can instead bend the hair by heat and create a curled look.

Hair curlers, on the other hand (not literally), have a wavy design that is meant to create alternating curls. They're not really "curls" per say, but just alternating bends that occur in a horizontal manner. And you simply use one doing row by row from top to bottom of your hair.

So, it's a matter of technique versus the tool you're looking for to get a certain kind of result or job done.

How can you curl your hair with a straightener?

Depends on how you want to do it, there is three different ways and they are all listed down here: 1. The first way is to just plait your hair, then slowly you have to tighten the plait and put a hair-band at the bottom. Get the straightener and heat it up and when the straightener is heated you have to put the heat on to the plait by just going over it about 5 times.Open the plait and hopefully it should be curled. 2. The second way is to just wrap your hair around the straightener like a curling barrel and leave for 2 minutes or if your hair is sensitive about a minute or less. When you get your hair out after the time , you should achieve a high quality curl. 3. The third way is to in a curl shape use the straightener going in then out and in then out. Repeat this on your hair parts about 3 times and same as before you will achieve a good quality curl and a fresh bounce. With all these methods use hairspray to keep your hair in a good bounce so that it is high in shine
