Ear- to Chin-Length Hair: If You Have 20 Minutes

When time is on your side, a little work with a flat iron can transform your cut into something fun yet sophisticated.

Use a small flat iron with beveled edges to curl hair (a curling iron would create a ringlet look―not good). Taking one-inch sections of hair, clamp the iron close to the roots. Then twist your wrist as you move the iron down to the ends.

Dab a bit of cream wax on your fingertips and smooth over each curl to give it even more definition and gloss.
