Hair irons are used by both the sexes, in order to get a fringe, curl, wave or straight hair that they desire. Most products on the market are very easy to use although its best to get guidance before you use a straightener for the first time. There are some top tips listed below.

The main thing is to keep your hair washed and clean and not try and straighten with dirty hair as the ceramic plates will give strange results. It is although worth noting that some people still believe that using a clothes iron will help them to straighten their hair, this is a myth and in fact will cause damage and burn the hair. It is far better to use hair care products that are designed to be used with a proper hair straightener and it will do less damage in the long run.

Before using a straightener you must ensure that your hair is dry, so get out your blowdryer and make sure it is bone dry by using it for ten minutes or until it is dry. Also whilst your blow drying, use a brush and this way the heat from the dryer will get to the hair and so will dry quicker and save you time.

Once you’ve dried your hair then use the straightening iron at your hair ends (to prevent curls) for around 2-3 minutes, no longer as else this will cause lasting damage. The end results should be smooth and silky results.

Another good tip is to prepare your hair the night before by making sure it is dry (after any showers) and you will notice the difference when you wake up. Try using some thermo hair care products when straightening your hair as this will mean that your hair will remain healthy and can be styled much quicker.
