*** DISCLAIMER: Do keep in mind that some hair just naturally takes more work to straighten, and/or stays straight for shorter time than usual ***
(1) Be sure to condition well, and/or use a leave-in conditioner after your last wash. (2) Flat iron a few days after a hairwash. Slightly dirty hair will flatten a bit easier, and also keep in mind the natural oils will help protect hair during the heat process. (3) Use less heat on your ends, to decrease amount of damage. Even further, use only the minimal amount of heat necessary to straighten your hair. Especially if you have fine hair, it damages much more easily with heat styling. (4) Keep track of what sections you're working on... work on small sections, pinning them to the side when done with each. (5) Be sure to get regular trims for split ends!
hey thanx very much 4 replying ive herd of wet 2 dry straighteners r they any good?? has anyone used these and are the results good? write bak soon luv anna xx
Nope, never tried it... As far as I know, you're not supposed to iron when wet. It's the same damaging effect as sticking your head in a steaming pot for six hours. Never never iron when wet.
I find the products I put in before and after using my iron make a huge difference in the end results and how long it stays straight. I like phytologie's phytodefrisant best before, but I have gotten good results with other products and then a shine serem or finnishing product after. I don't ususally use any hair spray, and I also make sure to deep condition or put in leave in conditioner and work piece by piece with the iron for best results.
hey Im reli considerating getting one of these wet to dry hair straighteners. It is a different type of technology but they are very expensive. The ones i am looking at are called T3 Tourmaline Wet to Dry Straightening Iron and they cost �124.95. I don't mind spending this much if the results are very good and it cuts down the time on straightening. Has any1 got this hair straightener?? They are supposed 2 trap moisture in your hair and are better for your hair than normal ceramics. anna xxxx
Frankly I don't see how it's possible to revamp any heat tool. Heat is heat, and I don't see how you can change its nature. I seriously doubt any "wet to dry" straight iron will work any better than a ceramic, without frying the hair cuticle. You can't change a heat tool so that it "traps" moisture, but you can use products on your hair that will help hold in the moisture... I agree that conditioning before straightening is VERY important.
hey thanx 4 ur concern im not so sure about them now. yes i always condition my hair every time i wash it. i usually shampoo it twice n them condition and i make sure to always apply heat protective cream before blowdrying/straightening. http://www.salonlines.co.uk/forwomen/index.php?category_id=405&p=1 this is where i found the straighteners if anyone wants to read it! anna xx
i dunno y but conditioning with mayonaise or eggs seems to help make my hair straighter when i straigten it with my ion ceramic straightner. mayonaise is the kind of thing that works for some peoples hair but not others. so watch out! also i'm gonna warn u it smells horrible but it works!
There's this stuff they sell in drugstores, called "Mayonnaise for hair". I think it's the mayonnaise, without the smell. If you're concerned about smell. Normally wouldn't a person just shampoo it out and finish with a scented conditioner?
