We strongly advise to read it before you start using hair iron or other hair straightening tool

1. Use the hair iron only after you have cleaned your hair. Actually, it can be dangerous to use it before you clean your hair because dirt or grease left in the hair will be cooked by the heat of the hair iron and the damage made is inevitable.

2. Do not iron your hair with a clothes iron. If you will use it without taking the necessary safety measures, your hair will singe. The singed hair can not be cut out or covered up. Use a hair iron produced for this purpose instead

3. A short straightening method using a hair flat iron : First dry your hair for about 15 minutes using a dryer, then continue drying your hair and at the same time comb it with your fingers. Comb it carefully so that you will get the curl out. Then, for a short time (no more than five minutes) use the hair iron at the ends of your hair. This is a proven and safe way to straighten and keep your hair shiny.

4. Always use a brush while blowing dry your hair. It makes your hair straight and saves time.

Thank you very much for these interesting tips. I sometimes use a hair iron because I absolutely love the sleek look. Unfortunately it is a lot of effort to wear the sleek look. I always use the iron just after washing my hair. I did it instinctively because I had no idea that I can damage the hair if I do not wash it at first. So I am very happy that you have posted the tips.

Tons of heat protectant is key—once you fry your hair, it’s impossible to go back! Load it on and then just use a clarifying product once a week.
