The great thing about our hair is that we can use it as an accessory to complete our look. However, one bad mistake can ruin our style. But that’s not the worse that can happen! Sometimes, wrong products or styling methods can damage our tresses, leading to more problems and possibly irreversible consequences.
To maximize your styling skills without having to suffer from damaged hair, here are 5 flat ironing mistakes you need to avoid.
Using it on wet hair.
Before using a flat iron to style your locks, make sure that your hair is completely dry to avoid damage. So, when you hear even the slightest sizzling sound and see smoke, drop your tool and dry your tresses again.
Not cleaning it.
Regularly using your flat iron without cleaning it may result to the tool having problems working properly, as protecting oils and serums might build up and residue may form. To avoid this, ensure that you clean your iron with a cloth after every use to achieve the best performance.
Using high temperatures on bleached hair.
It is never wrong to iron your hair after you have it colored. However, you have to be extra careful with your tresses because high heat can fade dyed locks much faster. We recommend you set your iron to the lowest heat temperature to avoid your hair from burning off.
Running iron more than once through each hair section.
Running your iron over your hair once should be enough because if you do it more, it can cause a lot of damage to the follicles. To avoid this, ensure that your tool has the right temperature setting that would be perfect for the thickness of your hair.
