1. Clean it to maintain it. Make sure your flat iron is clean and well-maintained. Dust always hampers the heat and affects the result adversely. So clean and maintain it well otherwise, you will not be able to get the straightening right. If not cleaned well, dust, grime, and grease will stick to your hair – making hair damage easier. So you must also wash your hair well.
2. Comb it right. Brush or comb your hair well before you begin ironing. If your hair is very curly, a good idea is to comb in between straightening. It helps to get the shape right and holds it for longer.
3. Get the start right. Start when your flat iron is fully hot. Make sure always that your hair tong is at the right temperature. A flat iron is supposed to do its job well only when it properly heated. Or failing to do this, you will end up with hair curls after just a few hours.
4. One inch at a time and always start backward. Each time you divide your hair into different sections to straighten your hair, go for one-inch sections of hair at a time. Take one-inch section and iron it well. Don’t lose patience. It is okay to go slow – this will let you have perfect and long lasting straight hair. And make sure you start with the back of your head always. Then slowly, work to the front.
