How To Use A No Burn Hair Straightener With Optimal Results

By Sharon Edwards


A good straightener will do far more than create perfectly straight tresses. These tools are also great for taming unmanageable strands and for keeping your coif frizz-free. This is only true, however, if you know how to use them correctly. Following is everything you need to know about using a no burn hair straightener with optimal results.

For one thing, it is always best to start with a high-performing unit. The best of these will do a proper job and yet, they won't cause any damage to your strands. As such, you should take a look at the plates on these tools to ensure that they've been properly coated. A good coating is going to keep each and every one of your strands protected while ensuring that sufficient heat is applied.

You also want to make sure that your tresses are in good condition for this process. If your locks are coated in any excess amount of styling products, make sure that it is clean and dry. After shampooing, be sure to use a moisture-rich and protective conditioning agent. Irrespective of how safe any straightener is to use, you still want to make these efforts. It is just good maintenance.

You also want to avoid flat ironing any strands that have yet to dry complete. This will cause the individual strands to cook. If you do not own an electric dryer, go ahead and let your tresses dry by air, while giving them ample time to do so. Make sure that there is no moisture remaining at the roots of your hair or at the back of the head before you begin.

When hair is extremely dry or coarse, think about blow drying your strands ahead of any ironing. This will cause the strands to relax so that they are able to respond optimally to the additional heat. This also limits how much direct heat you have to use to create stunning results. This is an important step if you want to keep your locks as healthy as you possible can even while making it straight.

Think about applying a quality pressing oil or any other product that is meant to be used with heat. These things will provide an eye-catching, shiny finish while serving as a functional barrier between the heat and your tresses. Products that are lightweight are ideal, given that these won't weigh the tresses down.

Part your tresses in sections using your fingers or a good comb. Do not place a large section of hair into the straightener. Doing so will increase the risk of damaging your locks. The good news is that you are using a unit that prevents burns and thus, the margin for error has been greatly increased.

Start close to the roots of your locks, while being mindful to avoid your scalp. This device type will allow you to flatten your tresses from root to tip without risk of skin burns. Mover the unit down the section of strands at a slow and even pace. If it is necessary to repeat, start at the middle of the hair shaft to avoid over-straightening more sensitive areas near the actual scalp.
