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 best to start with a high-performing unit. The best of these will do a proper job and yet, they won't cause any damage to your strands. As such, you should take a look at the plates on these tools to ensure that they've been properly coated. A good coating is going to keep each and every one of your strands protected while ensuring that sufficient heat is applied.

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 you have extremely coarse tresses, you may want to start this process out by blow drying it out first. This will relax the strands so that they are more receptive to the heat. It will also reduce the amount of direct heat that you have to apply in order to get optimal results. This is a critical step for those who are just as interested in preserving the health of their strands as they are in making it straight.

Consider using a good pressing oil or other heat styling product to coat your strands. The best of these products will give your tresses a shiny finish while creating a formidable barrier between your locks and the actual heat. A nice, lightweight product will create the look you want without weighing 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.

Start close to the roots of your locks, while being mindful to avoid your scalp. This device type will allow you to flatten your tresses from root to tip without risk of skin burns. Mover the unit down the section of strands at a slow and even pace. If it is necessary to repeat, start at the middle of the hair shaft to avoid over-straightening more sensitive areas near the actual scalp.
