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 a good idea to choose the best equipment for this job. Only top-rated products will be able to create the look you really want, without causing your tresses any unnecessary harm. Spend some time considering the plates on the straightening device you're using and check for a sufficient, silicone coating. This is going to protect each one of your strands, even as it allows adequate heat to pass through.

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.

Another common mistake to avoid is attempting to flat iron or press your tresses before these are fully dry. This can actually cook the tresses. If you do not have an electric dryer, let your tresses air dry and be sure to give them plenty of time. Check for moisture near the roots of your locks, particularly at the back of the head, before getting started.

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 using a quality pressing oil or another styling product that properly coats the strands in advance of heat. The top products will give the locks a bright, shiny finish, even as these create a protective barrier that limits heat damage. A lightweight product is going to create the best look given that it won't weigh your strands down.

Section your tresses off by using a comb or your fingers. You do not want to place too many strands into the straightener at one time. This is actually how people burn their strands. Fortunately, when using a unit that is designed to prevent burns, you will have a significantly larger margin for error.

Begin near the roots of your tresses and pay attention to your scalp. Working with a no burn device will allow you to address the strands from top to bottom, without burning your skin. Use a steady and slow pace to move down each section. If you have to make a repeat pass, consider starting at the middle of the shaft so that you are not apply and excess amount of heat to areas that are both delicate and already straight.
