Learn 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.

One major mistake that everyone should avoid is flat ironing or pressing the locks before it has had the chance to dry fully. This is a lot like cooking your tresses. If there isn't an electric dryer on hand, go ahead and let your strands air dry, but be sure to give them ample opportunity to do so. Before beginning, look for signs of moisture near the root, and at the back of the pate.

If you have extremely coarse tresses, you may want to start this process out by blow drying it out first. This will relax the strands so that they are more receptive to the heat. It will also reduce the amount of direct heat that you have to apply in order to get optimal results. This is a critical step for those who are just as interested in preserving the health of their strands as they are in 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 locks while being ever-mindful of the scalp. This type of unit will flatten the strands from its roots all the way down to the tips of each shaft, without causing skin or hair burns. Use a steady and slow pace to move the device down each section. If you have to repeat these movements, start again at the mid-section of the locks shaft so that you're never in danger of applying too much heat at the sensitive areas near your scalp.
