So I have to tell you, my faithful readers a secret:  I have curly hair.  No, seriously, I have very curly hair and I straighten it every day.  So when I saw a few quick tips and tricks that would help me straighten my hair the ‘safe’ way without damaging my hair too much, I was all over it and I thought I would share the wealth a bit!   So here you go, here is the truth about flat irons.  First, we all need to understand that if you continuously use a flat iron (like I do!) it will damage your stands.  It does not matter if it is ceramic, thermal, metal or ionic, they all damage the hair, the good news is that there are ways to limit the damage!

First, if you use your flat iron a whole lot, you need to keep it clean.  Just wipe it off once in a while and you will see not only a difference in your smooth hair but also it will not damage it as much.

Next … use some product!  This will prevent the damage (which we all try to do) and will help with your frizz.  Sealed Ends by BC (Bonicure Seal) can cut the frizz by 79% if you use it before you blow dry!  More tips in the next blog!
