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 a good idea to choose the best equipment for this job. Only top-rated products will be able to create the look you really want, without causing your tresses any unnecessary harm. Spend some time considering the plates on the straightening device you're using and check for a sufficient, silicone coating. This is going to protect each one of your strands, even as it allows adequate heat to pass through.

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 your hair is very coarse, you should begin by blow drying your tresses. This is going to relax and soften the strands so that these become better able to respond to heat. This is also going to limit the amount of heat that has to be directly applied to the strands for creating a specific look. This step is essential for those who are eager to protect their hair health while regularly straightening it as part of their normal styling process.

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.

Part your tresses in sections using your fingers or a good comb. Do not place a large section of hair into the straightener. Doing so will increase the risk of damaging your locks. The good news is that you are using a unit that prevents burns and thus, the margin for error has been greatly increased.

Begin near the roots of your tresses and pay attention to your scalp. Working with a no burn device will allow you to address the strands from top to bottom, without burning your skin. Use a steady and slow pace to move down each section. If you have to make a repeat pass, consider starting at the middle of the shaft so that you are not apply and excess amount of heat to areas that are both delicate and already straight.
