THE IRON

Not to mention the burns you can get on your face, neck and hands doing it yourself. My daughter did this for awhile..it works but she burned herself a few times. It will dry out your hair... if you do it, put a towel over it first and get someone else to do the ironing!! I think getting a straightening iron like Joan said would be worth it. Tho, I have never seen one used before or it's ability to straighten. If you make this a habit, I would start some good conditioning treatments!

Can you use a clothes iron to flatten hair? I don't want to have to go to a beauty parlor to iron out my hair. And I am on a low budget so its hard to afford straightening products.
