If you do hair straightening at home it can be very harmful to your hair, unless you take into account the following secrets
It could be rather annoying if you cause damage to your hair unwittingly or if you are not 100% sure about what you are doing.
Good looking hair is a fabulous asset, yet if not cared for it can deteriorate. A heavy-handed approach with a straightening iron can cause split ends and damage that could take some time for the hair to recover from.
If you are using a straightening iron in the wrong way it can badly damage the hair, particularly at the ends, so correct use is essential. After all, you dont want to lose your fabulous hair, do you ?
First of all, it is essential to have good tools: A ceramic straightening iron is a must if you are straightening your hair often. A hair dryer with a good strong air flow and not just a hot one, must be used. If you are straightening regularly, say once or twice a week, then you should use a treatment that helps to prevent the hair from being dried out leading to frazzled ends.
A regular deep conditioning of the hair is also a good idea in order to keep it healthy, bouncy and shiny. A very good product that I use for this is Bonacure Q10 from Schwarzkopf.
After straightening use a wide-toothed comb along with a product to detangle. Its a very good idea to have a monthly trim in order to encourage your hair to grow healthily. In addition you should make sure you are drinking plenty of water on a daily basis.
How to prepare your hair for the straightening? Always use a protective product when styling your hair straight. The best for this in my opinion is Osis Slick flattening liquid and the Osis Flatliner. Once out of the shower, wring hair out until it doesnt drip anymore, then dry as much as possible with a towel.
Apply a little bit of the straightening liquid before blow drying and in between towel drying. Blow dry by taking sections at a time and with a flat brush- it takes a while to master exactly how to straighten accurately but its worth it.
Use a little bit of gel or cream or something to keep it straight and non-frizzy, and shiny. I use the Osis Sparkler for this. I think this product does a very good job in this. - 31964
