A great hair straightener can be a girl’s best friend. Whether you have curly, frizzy and even straight hair, taking the time to use a hair straightener can really make a difference in how your hair looks and feels on a regular basis. There are a couple of tips and tricks to help make your hair straightening experience go much easier and smoother.
First, it’s important to start with dry hair so either wait until your hair is dry or simply use a blow dryer to speed up the process. The next thing you need to do is brush the hair thoroughly to make sure there are no tangles, this just makes it easier later on so you do not have to stop and get rid of tangles once you start straightening the hair.
The next step will help to make the straightening process go much faster; you need to split your hair into sections, this is especially important for people with thicker hair. Gather almost all of your hair, except for a section around the base, and put it up in a ponytail or use a hair clip to hold it. Use a heat protector spray and lightly mist the hair you are about to straighten.
Grab a section of the hair and starting with the roots clamp the straightener and pull down until you reach the ends; it takes a while to find the best speed but try starting with one smooth stroke downward that’s not too fast but not slow enough that you heat damage your hair. Keep doing this, letting down section after section, until the entire head has been straightened.
