7 Looks to Create with Your Nubi Soft Styler

If you’re using your flat iron for the sole purpose of straightening your hair, you’re missing out. Nowadays, hair lovers are getting more and more creative with how they use their trusty straightener. Instead of using it for sleek styles only, they’re following fresh techniques to use it for curling and making pretty waves in their locks, too.

That’s why the classic flat iron is one of our favorite hair tools — it has so many uses! You can recreate plenty of beautiful hairstyles with a flat iron. That means it’s technically the only heat styler you need to change up your hair texture from time to time to rock dozens of looks.

Mastering all kinds of hairstyling techniques is something you can do with the Nubi Soft N’ Straight Ceramic Styler — also fondly called the Soft Styler, one of the more popular flat irons in our collection. Today, we’ll be walking you through seven different looks you can create with this bad boy!

What’s So Good About the Nubi Soft Styler?

When it comes to experimenting with different textures and hairstyles with a straightener, the key is to find one that is high-quality and has beneficial features. You need a flat iron that allows you to experiment with all kinds of styles but is still easy to handle.

One flat iron that fits this description is the Nubi Soft N’ Straight Ceramic Styler. This flat iron is one of our bestselling hair tools for many reasons.

It’s designed to emit infrared heat and negative ions to smoothen your hair with each pass as you style it. This locks moisture into your hair, allowing it to look shiny and silky.

Looking for a bangin’ hair curler? You don’t have to splurge on another hair tool just to get one! This ceramic hair straightener can create defined curls and waves, too. It has rounded edges — perfect for wrapping your hair around it and producing beautiful ringlets without weird bends and folds (something you might get from a paddle-shaped iron).

It also has an ergonomic design with a satin grip. This is why it earned its name as the “Soft Styler.” The iron has floating ceramic plates that hug your locks snugly, which means it will never snag on your beloved tresses. The swivel cord rotates by 360º — another feature that makes it incredibly easy to twist and curl your hair.

You can get the Nubi Soft Styler in two charming colors. There’s purple for a royal, regal feel, and hot pink for that girlboss energy.

A Few Quick Reminders Before You Get Styling…

Anyone who uses heat stylers on a regular basis knows that hot tools can cause damage to healthy hair, leaving it dry, brittle, and rough to the touch. So before using your Nubi Soft Styler, make sure to use a heat protectant on your locks to minimize damage.

A heat protectant coats your locks and acts as a protective barrier between the hot iron plates of your straightener and your vulnerable hair. Instead of “burning” your hair, the heat then “burns off” the layer of protectant instead.

There are many kinds of hair protectants out there. You can use your favorite hair serum or leave-in conditioner, but you could also go the more natural route by using a hair-loving oil.

One that is great for the hair is marula oil. Not only does it add that extra layer of protection to your hair, but it’s rich in fatty acids too, leaving your tresses feeling shinier, softer, and easier to manage during styling.

After applying your heat protectant fresh out of the shower, it’s time to blow-dry your hair. Your hair must be completely dry before your Soft Styler touches it. Direct heat and wet hair do not go together! Dry your locks with the Nubi Blow Me Away — a blow dryer that doesn’t strip your hair of its natural oils.

And now, your hair is finally ready to be styled! Here are seven hairstyles you can create with your Nubi Soft Styler:

1. Bouncy Bob with Full Fringe

Cheek-length bobs look super cute, but not when they’re frizzy and poofy. Luckily, the Soft Styler is a godsend for frizzy hair. It helps smoothen out flyaways and unwanted texture for a chic, straight, sophisticated look in minutes.

If you have a bob and full bangs, the Soft Styler is all you need to make your look come alive. Just straighten your hair as you usually would, but when you get to the ends of your hair, flip your iron slightly towards your face for a curled-in finish. Tug on your hair as you release those locks to get cute, bouncy ends.

Lastly, straighten your fringe so that it’s covering your forehead. You can do it pin-straight or with a little curve as well to match the ends of your bob.

2. Sleek and Straight High Pony

Here’s another look you can create by straightening your hair — the classic sleek, high pony a la Ariana Grande. This hairstyle is one of our favorite trendy styles that you can wear for the upcoming holiday parties.

A high pony looks super pretty, especially on thick hair, but perfecting it can be tricky. One wrong move and you can end up with bumps in your hair that ruins the sleekness of the look. Here’s the right way to do it:

The key to a sleek high pony is making sure your hair is smooth and tangle-free as you gather it into a ponytail. For that, we recommend using a bit of hair gel or your favorite styling cream and raking it into your roots. Then, use a boar-bristle brush to sweep it into a high pony and tie it with an elastic band.

Grab a thin lock of hair from the ponytail and wrap it around the elastic band to conceal it. This gives it a clean, polished finish. To get that lustrous, silken look, take your Soft Styler and iron your ponytailed locks until they’re pin-straight.

3. Easily Blendable, Face-Framing Curtain Bangs

One of the biggest hair trends we’ve seen this year is curtain bangs, and we totally understand the hype! They’re an awesome way to frame your face and highlight your pretty features.

However, they only look gorgeous when styled correctly. If not, you’ll have short, poofy locks of hair on the sides of your head. Good thing the Soft Styler is perfect for styling your bangs in multiple ways.

For example, to blend curtain bangs seamlessly into your hair, gently curve them outward. Split your bangs down the middle first. Then, take your bangs on one side and a few locks of hair next to it. Clamp your straightener down on them and slightly curve and pull down the whole way. This gives your curtain bangs a bit of a wave as it blends in with the rest of your hair.

If you’re not a fan of that look, you can try out side-swept bangs. Brush your curtain bangs so they all go in one direction. Then, do the same curving motion to incorporate your bangs flawlessly with the rest of your hair.

4. Sexy Curls for a Hot Date

We’ve said it enough times — the Soft Styler is the best flat iron to use as both a hair curler and straightener. It has rounded edges and a 360º swivel cord that makes twisting and maneuvering your flat iron to curl your locks that much easier.

Creating the most perfect-looking curls can take a lot of practice. But when you think about how it’s done, it’s actually pretty simple.

Take a lock of hair that you want to curl. Clamp your Soft Styler down an inch or two away from your roots, or wherever you want the curl to start.

Instead of pulling it downward like when you normally straighten your hair, twist the iron to a half-turn before pulling the hair all the way down and releasing it. What you get is a gorgeous, uber-defined curl a la Goldilocks! To make sure your curls keep their shape all day, give your hair a spritz of the Nubi Styling Spray.

These curls look super sexy and are excellent for a hot date. They can also be a base for sweeter and more romantic hairstyles, like stunning half-updos.

5. Soft, Romantic Chignon with Curly Tendrils

Like we said, when you curl your hair with the Soft Styler, you can wear it as is or use it as a base for creating more intricate updos and styles — like a classy chignon.

Putting your hair in this elegant, coveted bun is pretty simple. But the fact that you’re starting with glamorous curls will elevate its look completely.

First, section off a half-inch lock of hair on each side of your face and let them hang loose for a while. Take the rest of your hair to the back and part it down the middle. Take these thick chunks of hair and tie them together in a loose knot. Yes, you heard that right! Tie them together the same way you’d make a basic knot with some rope.

Wrap each thick lock of hair around the knot one at a time, securing them in place with bobby pins. And there you have it — a chic chignon!

Use your Soft Styler to curl the tendrils you left towards the front of your face for a soft, wispy, ultra-romantic finish. You can add accessories, like gold pins or fresh flowers, to your chignon too if you like!

6. Loose, Laidback Beachy Waves

Another popular hairstyle to create with your Nubi flat iron is loose, relaxed beachy waves. Wavy locks aren’t that easy to achieve. A curling wand by default gives you tight, kinky Shirley Temple curls instead of those surfer girl waves. But a flat iron does the trick!

The first thing you want to do is turn down the heat of your flat iron — a loose wave means using less heat. This is something that’s possible with the Nubi Soft Styler since it has adjustable heat settings.

Clamp down your straightener near your roots and do a half-turn moving inward towards your face. Pull the straightener down by an inch or two and then flick your iron and twist it in a half-turn again, this time pointing away from your face. Pull down another inch and do the process all over again. This creates uneven bends in your hair for those carefree, free-spirited waves!

When you’re all done, use the Nubi Styling Spray again to lock in your waves. Not only does it keep your waves in place throughout the day, but it also adds a bit of extra texture and grit to your locks for that beachy touch.

7. Shaggy Pixie with Flipped-Out Ends

If you prefer a simple, low-maintenance, au natural look, here’s one you’ll love. You can use your Soft Styler not just for creating textures, but for giving short hair a little more volume. How? By flipping out your ends.

Wash and blow-dry your shaggy pixie cut and then style it as usual. Then, start taking a small piece of hair at a time and clamp your Soft Styler down on the ends. Flip the ends outward and away from your face. This flick creates more depth in your simple, shaggy hair, giving it that quirky hipster look packed with tons of attitude.
