Women and beauty often times go hand in hand and as a stylist I want to help educate clients on proper hair care.
At the salon, we have recently began to see an increase in clients with hair that has been overly flat ironed. Unfortunately, fried ends cannot be saved with any conditioning treatments, and you know what that means - that dreaded haircut you have been putting off for much too long is now desperately needed.
Hair cannot be brought back to life once you have applied to much heat to such fragile ends, leaving you with no other option but to cut it.

To flat iron hair:
(1) Adjust the temperature of the flat iron for your specific hair texture – if you flat iron the hair more than twice a week, keep the heat setting fairly low
(2) ALWAYS prepare the hair with a thermal protection spray
(3) Beginning at the hairline, smooth out those baby fine hairs. Too much tension with the flat iron can cause breakage.
(4) Take small sections, and continue working your way up the head until there is no hair left.
(5) Finish with a light hairspray, taming those stubborn little fly aways.
(6) You’re ready to go!
Remember to take extra care when it comes to applying any type of heat to your hair, whether it is with a flat iron or a blow dryer.
