Hair Straightener
Description: a hair straightener is a tong-like device that has two heated plates which are run down the hair shaft to straighten hair strands temporarily.
Uses: hair straighteners will flatten hair like no other tool can and now even come in wet-to-dry versions which eliminate the need to blow-dry wet hair before styling. A straightener can also be used to add curl to hair (get a professional to show you how) and is the best way to add the flicks in flicked out hairstyles.
Great for: all hair types.
Tips:
- Use a slim line straightener when trying to add curls or flicks
- Apply deep conditioning treatments to your hair if you regularly straighten to balance any damage that may be caused by the heat
- Work in small sections to get a smoother finish and start from the under layers of your hair
