Hair Comb Straightener
To get sleek, straight hair while minimizing damage, follow these key steps:
-
Prep is Non-Negotiable:
-
Ensure your hair is 100% dry before straightening. Using a straightener on damp or wet hair can cause severe damage.
-
Always apply a heat protectant spray or serum evenly from roots to ends to create a barrier against the heat.
-
-
Temperature Control is Crucial:
-
Set the straightener to the lowest effective temperature for your hair type.
-
Fine or damaged hair: Use a lower setting (typically 120°C - 170°C).
-
Normal or wavy hair: Use a moderate setting (around 170°C - 190°C).
-
Thick or coarse hair: May require a higher setting (up to 210°C - 230°C).
-
-
Never use the absolute highest setting unless you have very coarse, resistant hair and a quality iron designed for high heat.
-
-
Technique for Best Results:
-
Section your hair into small, manageable pieces (about 1 to 2 inches wide) to ensure even heat application. Clip the rest of your hair out of the way.
-
Start at the bottom layers and work your way up.
-
Place the straightener close to the roots (about an inch from the scalp to avoid burning).
-
Glide the straightener slowly and steadily from roots to tips in a single, smooth motion. Do not hold the iron in one place.
-
Aim for minimal passes over each section—ideally one to two times. If you need more passes, your section might be too thick.
-
For extra smoothness and to prevent tangles, run a fine-tooth comb through the section right before the straightener plates.
-
-
Finishing Touches:
-
Once done, allow your hair to cool completely.
-
Apply a small amount of smoothing serum or lightweight hair oil to the mid-lengths and ends for added shine and frizz control.
-
Unplug the straightener and allow it to cool fully before storing it.
