After you have turn it 369, start sliding the flat iron downwards, while still slowly turning the flat iron, so all of it curls. Do that to the next layers, but keep the last set of layers untouched! If you find some are too curly… pull the end of it so it looks straight and run your fingers on. Now that you're at the top layers, you don’t want them as curly. You're going to take the same amount of width and get a little bit more than half way, and you're going to flip the flat iron up and then twist it to outwards.
