Using a straightening iron to straighten your curly hair is safe if done with the right temperature and a good hair straightener. Ensure you get a good straight hair flat iron method to adjust its temperature and avoid damage to your hair. Before straightening your hair, ensure you:

 

  • Wash your hair with a good anti-frizz or smoothing shampoo and conditioner to eliminate dirt or dandruff. While washing your hair with shampoo, start with the tip of your hair. Use a wide-tooth comb and gently run it through your hair to safely detangle curls.

 

  • Use your conditioner and keep it in for at least twenty minutes. Rinse out and gently towel dry your hair.

 

  • Use any heat-protective spray or gel of your choice, depending on your hair type.

 

  • Gently divide your hair into different small portions while using a small band to hold them in place.

 

  • Plug your flat iron straightener and adjust the temperature depending on your hair type. If you have a thick or coarse curl, you can use 350-400 degrees of heat, or if your curl is mildly thick, you can use 300-350 degrees.

 

  • Gently run your hair through the iron and alert to any burnt smell. Immediately your hair starts to sizzle or smell burnt; stop and allow the iron to cool off or use the heat to straighten another portion.

 

  • When you are done straightening all the portions, apply good hair cream or serum to protect the tips of your long straight hair from adding shine.
