- You should invest in a high quality hair straightener with ceramic plates that will spread the heat evenly throughout your hair
- Make sure to set the temperature to the right level to prevent your hair from burning. There is nothing worse than setting the heat too high on your straightener and harming your hair.
- The most important thing to remember when straightening your hair is to USE HEAT PROTECTANT! You are applying heat that ranges from 90 to 200 degrees Celsius to your hair which is an extremely hot temperature. Do you really want to apply this heat to it? Think of the damage you are causing. Investing in a high quality heat protectant will help, but do remember that excessive straightening will ruin your hair and heat protectant only provides minimal protection. It is up to you to protect it.
- You don’t need to style your hair every day, sometimes it is best to just put it up in a ponytail and leave the flat iron behind. Skip a few days between each styling to protect your hair.
- Pass the straightener down your hair relatively fast to refrain from burning it. The faster the better for the conditionof your hair, but not always the look. Usually, passing the straightener down the strands of your hair at an even pace is the best for the look of it because it ensures that all the hair has been captured and straightened.
Skip using the flat iron today and go for a more natural look, let your true waves and curls show! Don’t hide behind straight hair or artificial curls, you are prettier in your natural state (don’t worry, you can still use the straightener for little sections of hair that have ruined throughout your sleep, or you could go for the total bed – head look, whatever you feel right!).
