Flat Iron Technique

It is best to start out with clean, dry hair.  You may add a brand of smoothing oil to your hair before blow drying, to help with the smoothing process.  I very often use Aquage Smoothing Oil or Moroccanoil.

Select a flat iron that has the ability to choose the heat setting.  If you have fine hair you may achieve great results at 350 degree's. Coarse, curly hair may need up to 450 degree's.

Make sure your hair is free of tangles.  It is best to take small sections, starting at the neckline.  Pin the rest of your hair up and out of your way.

Place your wide tooth comb in front of the flat iron, and as you run the comb down through your hair, follow close behind with the flat iron.  Pictured above.

The comb removes tangles as you are ironing to achieve smooth results.  If you do not use the comb, you will actually flat iron the tangles into your hair and it will not be sleek and smooth.

Do not run the flat iron down your hair too slowly.  This could be damaging to your hair.  It is better to take two swipes, then damage your hair by going to slow.

I recommend using The Croc flat iron which has the ability to be set up to 450 degree's or Bio Ionic One Pass which can be set up to 400 degree's.

After flat ironing, place a small amount of smoothing oil in your hands and run it through your hair to produce a "finished" look.
