But most of us don’t own a crimper these days.
However, if a flat iron is in your styling tool arsenal, you’re in luck.
Flat irons are a great multi-purpose tool.

With a straightener, on-trend crinkled hair is just a few steps away.
To get those crimped tresses, start with dry and thoroughly brushed hair.
Next, section off your hair the more sections you have the better.

Use the sections to create tight and tiny braids as close to your scalp as possible.
The more compact your braids are, the more voluminous the outcome will be (viaShaver Shop).
Then it’s the straightener’s time to shine.
Start near the root of each braid and slowly move down the length of each bundle of hair.
If you are feeling extra ambitious you could go around twice.
Once your hair has fully cooled off, it’s time for the unveiling.
Carefully unbraid all of your hard work to see the fruits of your labor (viaBeauty Hair Guide).
For the most crisp and consistent lines, make your iron extra hot and keep your pressure persistent.
For a more loose and subtle look, increase the space between each crimp (viaHer Campus).
It’s an instant time machine back to the ’90s.
