If you have wavy or curly hair and you want to straighten your hair then all you need are the ideal tools and a little time. Below are certain easy-to-follow guidelines for attaining that straight hair you have always wished without spending hours in a beauty salon. The wanted items are a high quality flat iron of your selection; heat protection spray; straightening balm; a comb with a tail for easy usage; and hair clips.

Start by washing your hair properly . A flat iron does not work good if the hair has oil and dust. After washing your hair, do not use any hair spray or gel, since, since this may obstruct the efficiency of the iron. Dry hair completely right from the roots to the tips as the Hair Straightener might not work greatly in wet hair. After drying the hair, apply a straightening balm on it. This will assist to get rid of any frizz while protecting your hair from damage . When your hair is completely dry, comb it well and remove any tangles. Then divide your hair into segments around 1 inch wide which you will grip together with hair clips.

Next, heat the flat iron. Normally it will reach the chosen temperature in the matter of a few minutes. It is wise to apply a heat protection spray in front of time since an iron subjects your hair to high heat. Starting at the back of the head, take a portion of hair and fasten the flat iron onto this hair section very slowly . This will keep the flat iron stationary . Make sure that the iron is close to the scalp, but does not touch it. By applying slight pressure , draw the iron down to the tips of your hair. Your passage should be even and fairly fast. Repeat the step with the other segments of the hair.

To get the good effects from a flat iron, you should always begin by applying shampoo, and then condition and blow dry your hair. If you eliminate excess oil and grease from the hair, this will help avoiding burning right through straightening. The ideal temperature setting is important to prevent hair damage . When styling your hair, don’t apply more heat than required. You have more styling control and flexibility if your iron has variable temperature settings. Use a high temperature setting if your hair is solid, unmanageable, course or stubborn; and the low setting for thin, damaged or bleached hair. You should also recollect to always use good conditioners and hydrating shampoo to protect hair from extra damages .
