If you have super thick hair, consider separating your hair into 4 sections. Tie up the top layer of your hair into 2 buns on top of your head, and then separate the bottom layer into 2 sections as well. If you split your hair down the middle, you can simply pull each side in front of each shoulder to keep it in place for longer hair. If you have short hair that doesn’t reach your shoulders, use a hair tie or hair clip to keep your hair in sections.
Once the ponytail is straight, undo it and straighten the top of your hair and any other bumps.
If your hair is thin or fine, the temperature should be below 360 °F (182 °C). If you have normal to medium hair, set the temperature between 360 to 390 °F (182 to 199 °C). For thick hair, use a temperature of 390 to 410 °F (199 to 210 °C).
Putting already-straightened sections of hair behind your shoulder will keep this section of hair from getting mixed in with the section that hasn’t been straightened yet, saving you time.
Make sure your hair has completely cooled down before applying a product.
Use a straightening shampoo and conditioner to help smooth out your hair and make the flat ironing process even easier.
Hair dryers can be damaging on your hair — always move the nozzle back and forth when drying your hair, never aiming it directly at a strand.
Use 1 hand to insert a strand of hair into the chase comb and clamp the comb closed starting at the top of the strand. With your other hand, you’ll begin straightening the strand, pulling both the chase comb and straightener down the section of hair.
These tools include a hairbrush that also acts as a ceramic dryer and hair dryers that have negative ion technology.
