I just got a hair straightning iron. Now, i have short hair, and my bangs get curly. I was just wondering, Should I use my hair straightner with dry hair, or damp hair?

PS. My hair is dyed.

Honey, please don't use your straightening iron on wet or damp hair; this could really, really fry your hair. Always use an iron on dry hair. Try using a bit of wax on your bangs for a bit of extra control. Also, a hairspray like "frizz-ease Humidity control" is great to keep your hair looking frizz-free all day.

hey
watevr u do dnt straighten hair wet! make sure that your hair is completly dry as it will damage your hair and it wont stay straight. i have curly hair and i straighten it. i think that u should invest in a good heat protective product to stop ur hair getting damaged
hope i helped!

Dry hair because if you straighten it with wet hair it will start to steam and burn your hai http:// -
