How to straighten your hair with an iron?

First, you need to deal with the coatings of these same irons. There are irons with metal, ceramic and tourmaline coatings. Metallic coatings gain in price, but not in quality - they mercilessly destroy the hair structure, making them dry, brittle, lifeless. Hair does not dry out from ceramics, and the tourmaline coating also has a healing effect - it helps to seal split ends, which makes hair healthier and more well-groomed. By what criterion to make a choice - price or quality, it is up to you to decide.

Secondly, you should figure out the sequence of actions when straightening hair with an iron at home:

- Wash your hair as usual, and then apply a special hot styling product or leave-in cream with a straightening effect;

- Dry your hair well (preferably without using a hair dryer), since hair should be straightened only when it is completely dry;

- Pick up all hair with a barrette, leaving one small curl at the back of the head. Pinch the curl with an iron near the very head and slowly move to the ends of the hair. If the hair is hard and unruly, you can repeat this procedure 2-3 times;

- Straighten all the hair on the head, starting from the back of the head, loosening one curl at a time;

- At the end of the straightening process, comb the hair with a comb and spray it with a little hairspray or other fixative. Be aware that your hair can immediately lose its straight appearance if it is in a high humidity area, for example, if you walk in rainy weather.

Hairdressers and stylists claim that quality irons will not harm your hair if you use them no more than three times a week.
