Straightening Hair With A Flat Iron
Straightening hair with a flat iron can be an effective way to achieve a smooth and sleek look. Here’s the best technique to straighten hair using a flat iron:
- Start with clean, dry hair. If your hair is wet, use a blow dryer to dry it thoroughly.
- Apply a heat protectant spray or serum to your hair to help prevent damage from the flat iron.
- Section your hair into small sections using clips or hair ties. This will make it easier to work on each section and ensure that you don’t miss any spots.
- Starting with one section of hair, clamp the flat iron down at the root and slowly glide it down the length of the hair. Keep the flat iron moving at a steady pace to prevent heat damage.
- Once you’ve finished one section of hair, move onto the next section, working from the bottom up. Use a comb or brush to help guide the hair through the flat iron, ensuring that each section is fully straightened.
- When you’ve finished straightening all sections of hair, use a serum or hair oil to add shine and smoothness to the hair.
Remember to always use caution when using a flat iron, and to avoid using it on wet hair. Use a low heat setting if your hair is thin or damaged, and a higher heat setting if your hair is thick or curly. If you have trouble straightening certain areas, you may need to take smaller sections of hair or use a different technique, such as twisting the hair before straightening it.
