Flat Irons

Flat irons are the perfect tool to achieve the sleek smooth styles of today. There are many different types such as flattening irons, ceramic flat irons, ionic flat irons, thermal flat irons, jade flat irons, metal flat irons, travel flat irons and more. These will all assist you to straighten your hair so it becomes smooth and silky. If a little more style is preferred hairproducts.com also carries crimpers and other attachments for the more creative look.

The best way to use a flat iron is as follows:

• While hair is wet you use a frizz control product. This is very important.
• Blow dry hair until hair is 100% dry. You are just removing the moisture, so there is no need to straighten your hair at this point. That comes later.
• The flat iron becomes very hot, so take care when using it. Once hair is completely dry, draw thin sections of hair through flat iron slowly, but keep the iron moving.
• Insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, then squeeze the handle together and glide slowly through hair from the roots to the ends.
• Comb hair smooth after each draw through of the iron.
• Continue until all of your hair has been straightened.
• Just in case you are wondering if it is really this easy... yes it is, but you might want to practice using your flat iron while it is cold until you get used to the feel and weight of the tool.
• Many flat irons are so versatile that they can be used as multi-tasking tools. Flatten, curl or flip hair with one appliance.
• To add soft curls, insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, gently squeeze the handle together and glide iron to the ends, the wind hair around plates.
• To do a Flip Out, insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, then squeeze the handle together and glide slowly through hair beginning at the roots, slightly flip out the ends.
• To do a Flip In, insert a 2-inch section of hair between the plates, then squeeze the handle together and glide slowly through hair beginning at the roots, slightly flip in the ends.
