How To Use A No Burn Hair Straightener With Optimal Results

By Sharon Edwards


You can do a lot more with the right straightener than simply flatten out your curls. You can use this device to make your tresses more manageable and to alleviate problems with frizz. This is only the case, however, if you're able to use your device correctly. Following are a few, key things to know when using a no burn hair straightener if you want to get perfect results.

For one thing, it is always best to start with a high-performing unit. The best of these will do a proper job and yet, they won't cause any damage to your strands. As such, you should take a look at the plates on these tools to ensure that they've been properly coated. A good coating is going to keep each and every one of your strands protected while ensuring that sufficient heat is applied.

It is additionally important to make sure that your locks is in an acceptable condition before getting started. You do not want to apply any direct heat to tresses that are coated in styling products and thus, you should make sure that your strands are dry and clean. Once you have finished shampooing your locks, coat these in a moisturizing agent that's designed to protect the from high heat. No matter how safe and well-rated your straightener might be, applying a good conditioner is essential. This is a great way to maintain the overall health of your tresses despite the rigors of your styling routine.

One major mistake that everyone should avoid is flat ironing or pressing the locks before it has had the chance to dry fully. This is a lot like cooking your tresses. If there isn't an electric dryer on hand, go ahead and let your strands air dry, but be sure to give them ample opportunity to do so. Before beginning, look for signs of moisture near the root, and at the back of the pate.

If your hair is very coarse, you should begin by blow drying your tresses. This is going to relax and soften the strands so that these become better able to respond to heat. This is also going to limit the amount of heat that has to be directly applied to the strands for creating a specific look. This step is essential for those who are eager to protect their hair health while regularly straightening it as part of their normal styling process.

Consider using a good pressing oil or other heat styling product to coat your strands. The best of these products will give your tresses a shiny finish while creating a formidable barrier between your locks and the actual heat. A nice, lightweight product will create the look you want without weighing your strands down.

Use your fingers and your comb to section your hair off. You might not want to put too much hair into the straightener at once. This is a common cause for hair burns. Luckily, if you are using a unit that is designed to be burn-free, the margin for error will be much larger.

Begin near the roots of your locks while being ever-mindful of the scalp. This type of unit will flatten the strands from its roots all the way down to the tips of each shaft, without causing skin or hair burns. Use a steady and slow pace to move the device down each section. If you have to repeat these movements, start again at the mid-section of the locks shaft so that you're never in danger of applying too much heat at the sensitive areas near your scalp.
