If you want to give the hair a slight bend, invest in a smaller version of your favourite flat iron. "Chi's Lava Ceramic Hairstyling Iron ($60) comes in a great travel size perfect for shorter cuts like this," said Leaps. "Taking half-inch pieces of your hair or smaller, use a wrist-flicking technique to wave the iron back and forth down the section. This will give it some chic twists and smooth, tousled curves with just the right amount of bend to them."
