Six Common Flatiron Mistakes

Six things you really should know before you flat iron your hair.

1. Don't crank it up all the way. Your hair doesn't need 450 degrees of heat. Even the thickest hair can only take 410.
2. Don't forget protection. Get flatiron protection. It is best to squirt it in your hand and than lather it in your hair. It can really grease your hair.
3. Don't run over (and over and over) your curls. Get hair as straight as possible by stretching each piece out with a brush. Than iron slowly and steadily in a sing pass.
4. Don't go board-straight. Make a C-shape with your hair by curling the ends in with the flat-iron.
5. Don't iron damp hair. Sizzling and steam are never good.
6. Bigger isn't better. You can't get to your hairline with a hunking big iron. One inch to one and a half inches is the biggest width your iron should be.

Keep these tips in mind when running a flat iron through your hair. They really make the difference to your hair.
