Hair Straighteners Users Guide

No doubt using a hair straightener is simple, but you need to use it properly to get good results and for the hair straightener to last longer. First and foremost, you need to shampoo your hair and condition it as normal, before using a hair straightener. As the hair will have curls and waves, apply serum to your hair, depending on the length and type of your hair. Then you need to use a hair dryer and paddle brush to slowly straighten your hair as you dry them. Make sure the temperature of the hair dryer is medium not hot.

After your hair is completely dry, use long and medium clips to separate your hair, so that you can concentrate on straightening your hair part by part. When you take small sections, you will get much flatter and weightless hair. Now, starting from the front, use your hair straightener, down the length of your hair in a smooth motion. Repeat doing this by taking small sections of your hair at a time.

Always start using the hair straightener from the top of your hair, to the bottom, till the end of the hair and the hair falls away, and make sure you do not stop it in between, and the sweep has to be even and consistent.

If your hair is thick you may have to repeat using the hair straightener 2-3 times continuously. After you complete the straightening process, do not forget to straighten the ends of the hair, because when you use separation clips the ends have to be straightened, otherwise they will fall apart. And straightening the hair will also give you a polished look.

If you do this properly you will be left with beautiful, sleek and shiny straight hair for a long time.
