Straighteners... what a difficult decision!?

We want our hair to look sleek and straight, but with so many options on the market and our different hair types and hair styles, choosing the right straightener could be a hassle.

Here I'll break it down for you, from size, type and temperature.

Let's get started.

Size

Type

Hair Type: Fine, mostly straight

Hair Type: Fine, Curly

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

For thick, but mostly straight, look for a straightener that offers a long range in temperatures; and for thick, curly and coarse, look for a straightener with temperatures between 300 to 400 degrees and that provides ions to protect your hair.

Temperature

Temperature on a straightener depends on hair type, hair length and the plate size of your straightener. Never, under any circumstance use a straightener on a temperature of 451ºF, you will cause more damage to your hair.

Healthy hair can usually withstand hotter temperatures. Damaged and color-treated hair requires a straightener that allows a lower temperature, or you could damage your hair even more. Thick and coarse hair also requires a higher temperature setting in order to smooth down cuticles.

The results, in some cases, gave the client a very distinct line in the middle of the hair where one color ended to where the other began. Since then, hairstylist have worked on ways to make this trend into the subtle and more natural transitions we see today. #2 Balayage From the French word meaning "to sweep", balayage is a freehand painting technique.
