Important Tip About Using High Heat Styling Tools for Straight Hair:

**While heat styling can be less damaging than chemical straightening, ironing too close to the scalp can be damaging to your scalp. This can be easily avoided!

Perform extreme caution when ironing within 1/2" of the skin. If you iron your hair more than twice per week, you may want to try the curling iron technique, without risking extreme heat near the skin.

Curling Iron Technique

Start with iron preheated on low

Hold barrel horizontally to your part

Begin 1/2" away from part

Slowly press hair by moving
the iron down towards the ends

Using a high heat blow dryer too often can damage your locks while trying to attain straight hair.

It is not necessary to blow dry directly facing the scalp. Try alternating angles and methods until you find the healthiest way for you to straighten your hair.
