Flat irons are a very popular tool for straightening hair. They have been around for years and have made lots of productive changes since they were first introduced a few decades ago. People can use flat irons at home or at the salon, to get the look of straight and sheen hair. There are some tips to straightening your hair with it and ways to protect it while you iron out your hair. Today, there are a few hot new flat iron models that are selling well and giving people the straight hair they want using the latest technology.
Flat irons not only straighten hair out, they can also curl and flip. The fact that irons can do three jobs in one makes them a necessity to anyone who does their hair regularly. There may be times that you want a little flip at the bottom or a few curls in the hair and times when you want your hair as straight and frizz free as possible. With so many different styles you can achieve with the flat iron, it is no wonder it has been around for so long.
Flat irons have been associated with damaging the hair. Most hair tools including the hair dryer will put wear and tear on the hair. The drying and pulling of hair using a hot heat can often leave hair feeling dry. Experts say that using styling tools on a regular basis is okay, but that it may be best to limit their use. Certainly most women would not give up their hair dryer for a day, but the flat iron is something that most women will use a few times a week.
To help your hair not get damaged while using a flat iron, it is important to use a good conditioner on your hair. Keeping your hair as moisturized as possible using creams, masks and serums will ensure that the damage caused by a flat iron is minimal. You can also try rinsing your hair in cool water before you finish your shower. The coolness will close the cuticles in the hair and prevent as much frizz as possible.
