Let’s face it girls, straight, sleek, and shiny hair is in for the new year. Every celebrity or singer is strutting around with super straight hair. How do you get that look? It will take more than just a hair straightener shampoo to make your hair straight. The best tool there is is a flat iron but how do you know which flat iron to get? Here are some facts about flat iron tools.

The first thing you want to consider is whether to get a ceramic, Ionic or Tourmaline flat iron. A ceramic and Tourmaline flat iron represents the coating on the iron plates. Both of these coatings produce negative ions which will protect your hair from damage and will replenish your hair with moisture. Other flat irons will take away moisture from your hair, leaving it dry and lifeless. An Ionic flat iron is simply the same as ceramic and Tourmaline. Either of these three types of flat irons will be good for your hair.

Another thing to think about is the how hot should the flat iron be before using it. There are many temperature settings on flat irons so finding the perfect temperature can take some time and trial and error. For a general guideline, if you have normal hair you want it to read between 360-380 F. If you have coarse, thick or curly hair you want a slightly hotter temperature of 380 to 410 F. If you have damaged, bleached hair a good temperature to stick to is below 360 F. Setting the right temperature will not cause damage to your hair. It’s also best to purchase a heat protectant spray before you use your flat iron.

So ladies, have fun with your flat iron!

Tips To Treat Dry Frizzy Hair

• Invest In A Deep Nourishing Hair Mask – hair masks are great ways to replenish your dry hair. Do this every other day and it will definitely lessen the appearance of frizzy hair.
• Watch The Way You Blow Dry Your Hair – When drying your hair with a blow dryer make sure you blow dry downward and never upward towards the scalp. When you follow your hair, there will be less frizz.
