Hair straighteners are gaining recognition as many people choose a sleek and stylish look for their locks. The following are the things that should not be done when using the hair straighteners.

Dry hair before using hair straighteners: always shampoo and condition your hair normally, apply serum with palms of hands, smoothing hair lengthwise. Salon hair products are usually more effective than cheaper ones and would help create the desired overall effect. Use a paddle brush to maintain straightness when blow-drying, and turn on straighteners when brushing. For best results, do not stop while running the iron through your hair and try to maintain a consistent method.

Do not use flat irons on wet hair: using flat irons on wet hair is likely to damage the ends and it is not good to mix water and electricity as this is a safety hazard.

Keep it simple for you: Use the clips to separate 1 inch layers of hair, thus you could slowly straighten it. Go end to end and undo the clip when the layer is straight and move on to the next layer. Draw your fingers into the hair after each layer to restore the shape. Start at the front, which is easier to work with, and work your way to the back.

Don’t rush – it will take a bit of time to get the look you want, so take your time and get it right. You will get better results in the long run; make sure you have plenty of time to get the look right.

Make sure you’re happy with the end result – while using your hair straighteners, the most important thing is that the style is reliable on all hair.

Don’t get burned: If you have difficulty using straighteners and accidentally burn your fingers, a salon hair care expert could provide tips and advice on how you should safely use our straighteners.
