A flat iron is also called a straightener which is similar to a curling iron. If your hair is not straight, just turn it on, and run it thru your hair. Here is a BEFORE and AFTER picture of what a flat iron really does. Enjoy!
you should never straighten your hair when its wet or damp because the heat from the straightener will definitely burn your hair so you should always make sure that your hair is completely dry before you you use a straightener on your hair. Its also a good idea to use a heat protectant on your hair before you straighten your hair because heat from something like a straightener (which gets very hot) can ruin your hair. But always make sure your hair is dry before taking an object such as a straightener to it.
no it doesn't. i straighten my hair before curling it all the time
If you are worried about your hair straightener damaging your hair, you should apply heat protection to your hair before straightening it. Your hairdresser can probably recommend one.
Depends on how you want to do it, there is three different ways and they are all listed down here: 1. The first way is to just plait your hair, then slowly you have to tighten the plait and put a hair-band at the bottom. Get the straightener and heat it up and when the straightener is heated you have to put the heat on to the plait by just going over it about 5 times.Open the plait and hopefully it should be curled. 2. The second way is to just wrap your hair around the straightener like a curling barrel and leave for 2 minutes or if your hair is sensitive about a minute or less. When you get your hair out after the time , you should achieve a high quality curl. 3. The third way is to in a curl shape use the straightener going in then out and in then out. Repeat this on your hair parts about 3 times and same as before you will achieve a good quality curl and a fresh bounce. With all these methods use hairspray to keep your hair in a good bounce so that it is high in shine
To clean the plates on a wet/dry hair straightener use a light cleaner on a rag and wipe down the plates. Make sure the hair straightener has been properly cooled before cleaning.
You should really curl your hair first then spray.
you dont have to but it is best to as it protects you hair from getting damaged :)
In the morning or before you are going somewhere.
Using a hair straightener on wet hair can cause the hair to become more prone to damage and breakage. The heat from the straightener can boil the water in the hair shaft, leading to bubbles and ultimately weakening the hair structure. It's best to wait until your hair is completely dry before using a straightener to prevent damage.
i have really thick hair and i used the wet to straight straightener. After a while, it didnt work that well. Now i use Remington t-series straightener with TRESemme heat protection products before straigtening it and i love the way it comes out
No you dont you can but you dont another way is comb your hair then straighten it.
