Pump Up Flat Hair With This Curling Iron Trick (VIDEO)

When you've established a styling routine that gives you your "best hair ever ," it's sort of hard to switch things up -- even if it's for the benefit of actually having healthy hair .

In the video above, we meet Carole. She's forced her hair into submission over the years by blow-drying and flat ironing each morning, and worst of all, without using a heat protectant . Between Carole's overuse of heat styling tools, bad at-home hair color and choppy salon haircuts, she's in desperate need of a hair makeover .

Hair color specialist Renee Taglia intervenes first by enhancing her natural color with a rich chocolate shade that also eliminates greys. Then celebrity stylist Tyler Colton trims a few inches off of Carole's hair, bringing it up to her shoulders. He completes the look by blow-drying with a large paddle brush and wrapping small hair pieces around a one-inch curling iron to create beachy waves . The tousled curls play up Carol's natural hair texture, and will save her tons of time when getting ready in the mornings.

What do you think about Carole's hair transformation ? Do you think she looks better with wavy or straight strands? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section.
