I tried using it but it didn't make my hair straight.How do you use a hair straightener iron?
if u have curly hair, u need to blow dry it first to get the really str8 look !!
maybe u dont leave the iron to warm up long enough, or maybe its jst not a good one, sum r not hot enough .. !
ur hair could be dry ! if it is condition it aloooot b4 u use the iron n it should help !How do you use a hair straightener iron?
If i diddnt work for you then you might need to get a better quality one. Or try these steps.
1. You must seperate your hair into ';sections';.
(so you take a bit of hair from the area around the bottem of your head which is close to the neck)
2. One those hairs are straight then you take another section above that one. Then tie the rest of your hair up.
3. Just keep doing this untill your done.
TIP: the thinner the ';chunk'; of hair you iron the straighter it will be.
You need to buy one that heats more that 350 Degree. If not its just burning your hair. Hair must be complete dry and before you start apply a little bit of frizz-out or hair polish to condition your hair and make it look shinny. Part you hair in four or three sections and start at the bottom. Get hair strands smaller than your flat iron. The hair strand can be 1/2'; or an 1'; but no more, it won't work. Starting from top to bottom do it very slowly and put a comb behind the flat iron while your passing it over the hair that would help the hair to be smooth. Do it one oor two times on the same hair strand and move to the next one. After you are done apply a little bit more hair polish over the hair with your fingers (not too much cause it will make your hair look grease). Good luck! It works for me, and my clients love it.
I use one...it takes patience...make sure that your hair is dry..and use some leave in conditioner before you start. You set the heat setting depending on how thick and course your hair is...it have to use a high setting because my hair is thick, course, and stubborn (naturally curly). Take your hair up in clips sectioning it . Start with the back under section and take small inch sections...start at the scalp and slowly pull the iron down, repeat it a few times. work threw all the sections, then you can go back and touch up parts that need it. You hair should turn out straight and shiney. I also use a large curling iron to give it the shape I want when I am finished. It will stay this way until it gets wet...so stay out of the rain! Good Luck
Well you part your hair then open it and close it on your hair and go down. If it doesn't work maybe you should try a ceramic iron, but it cost like $40 dollars but it works really well. but then again a flat iron doesn't straighten everyones hair.
Make sure that your hair is all the way dry first.
if you've already tried to use it and it doesn't work, you need to blow dry your hair out very good, then use a little hair spray and then try to iron it out. If it still doesn't work, you may need a higher heat, so you may need to go to a professional first so you won't burn your hair.
Maby the straighteners arnt good enough for your hair.
I had that problem once apon a time but now i have GHDs and i have no problems.
Why dont you try them.
If u dont want to do that try separating your hair into layers and doing it that way, this takes longer but has a better effect
Was it a cheap one? I have 3 of them and the first 2 I bought were cheap like $10 and I went over my hair with them like 5 times and it didn't straighten it, then I bought one for like $25 and it had gold plates and it works wonders. My hair is naturally wavy and it makes my hair super straight and shiny. So try one thats not so cheap and one that says ceramic plates.
I bought a fairly cheap one it was a ceramic by vidal sasson it was about $20 One thing I have to have it one the highest setting My hair has to be completly dry Sometime a little product or hairspray helps.
I have curly hair and I had to buy an expensive one, ionic and ceramic for about $100. It does work GREAT though. It gets really hot and I only have to do each piece one time, instead of going over and over it. The cheap ones didn't work and broke. I have had this one over 4 years with no problem. Just try to blow dry your hair straight, maybe use Bumble/Bumble Sleek %26amp; Shine (I love it) and it will turn out great. Good luck

If i can use my flat( hair straightener)iron in India do i need to use a converter, adapter or something?
If the voltage for your straightener is 220V then you will be fine. If not, you need to use an adaptor to change the current from 220V - 110V. This is easily available in any electrical shop in India, so you wouldn't need to carry it on your journey.
Alternatively (and this could save you some cash), go to a beauty parlour and let them do the hard work for you =).If i can use my flat( hair straightener)iron in India do i need to use a converter, adapter or something?
yes if you are getting your irons from USA then you have to buy a transformer to convert the Voltage from 230 V to 110 V...
Be careful before plugging any electrical appliances purchased in USA and brought to India.........If i can use my flat( hair straightener)iron in India do i need to use a converter, adapter or something?
i dont know, what are the electrical outlets like in india?
If your flat iron is dual-voltage, it will say so on the label. It might have a switch you have to flip. If it is, an adapter should be fine, but you're taking a risk. I blew up my hair dryer that way, but it was cheap and could have just been ready to blow anyway.
Your best bet is to use a transformer, which is a huge, heavy, expensive thing. It plugs into the 220 outlet and converts it to 110 power.
It depends what your voltage and plug is on the straighteners you have.
From experience of taking straighteners to foreign places I have found them to not work as well as at home due to the voltage changes etc..
Could you not go Au natural whilst in India?
Have a look on the link to see if your country has an adapter for India.
It will be cheaper to buy a straightner in India - $5 and give it away when you leave saves you on carrying a wrong type and you will give happiness to someone. Voltage is 250 volts and it is round pin plug two or three pins

Will using a hair straightener/iron too often cause permanent damage to your hair? If so, will it grow back?
I recently bought a Sedu Hair Straightening Iron and have been using it for about a month every week or so. At first, I loved it because I got stick straight hair and it was shiny and healthy-looking. I turned the heat pretty high and you could hear the iron sizzle as it made contact with my hair (is that a bad thing?). Now I've noticed my hair at the front seems to be thinning or it doesn't seem as dense as it used to be. I know using a hair iron too much will damage your hair. I want to know if I stop using the hair iron for a certain time, will my hair grow back? Or is the damage permanent?! Please tell me no! Thanks!Will using a hair straightener/iron too often cause permanent damage to your hair? If so, will it grow back?
using the iron does damage the hair but it's never permanent. your hair is always growing and thus you're always getting a hair cut to get rid of this frizzy, split ends. Don't worry. If you want to improve it use a better conditioner to protect against the heat and keep your hair moisturized. If you want to, you can even take a break from the iron a few months and blow dry your hair. it won't be stick straight but you can at least put it in cute updos to hide it. a few months should give your hair time to grow out that damaged hair and have a full head of shine.Will using a hair straightener/iron too often cause permanent damage to your hair? If so, will it grow back?
Well I always use a flat iron because my hair just would look horrible without it but I know people who have had bad experience with flat irons. It really depends on your hair and how strong it is. Some hair can't take the heat and will immediately dry up and look really damaged. My friend's mom's hair was like that and she ended up cutting off most of her hair and it grew back fresh and new lol. But i dont think you want to do that.
Your hair will grow back. Never turn a hair appliance on high ever. Even if your hair doesn,t burn ,heat drys out your hair and you could end up with a bad case of the frizzies,anyways. The best hair appliances that iron out hair are ceramic plated ones. Trying not to use your straightener too often,just once a week or so is good, just like you,ve been doing.
it depends on how high you put it on and sorta how much you damaged it.and if you use lots of shampoo everyday then your hair might grow faster and back but shampooing your hair everday isn't heathy for your hair cauz it's still needs the fresh vitiam form the air
The iron sizzles probably because you're using it after you shower, and your hair isn't completely dry yet. Straightening your hair too much can burn it, and will definitely give you split ends. It can also thin out your hair.
if you use a straightner too much it will cause split ends, you should try spraying in some product before you straighten, try CHI Iron Guard it will protect your hair from the extreme heat. the sizzling that you hear is probably wetness or moisture in your hair
It would depend on how much you damaged it.
it does damage your hair
It should. Are you using a good treatment with your iron? You must use it. They make special stuff for it. Any time you hear a sizzle...you are take moisture out of your hair. Are you using it on wet hair. Never use any iron on wet hair. Now if your using a product, and not letting it dry, then that may be the sizzle, but if your not, then what you are hearing, is moisture coming out of your hair. After time, that causes hair breakage, which isn't good. Turn it down on the lowest setting, to straighten, and don't let it set on your hair. Go at a steady pace downward.day cream

Which hair straightener(iron) should i get??!!!plz help!!?
i want that thick straight hair look ,where each hair strand looks thicker,does it automatically look when u straighten ur hair or is there something special i need to do....plz answer my question n which hair straightening iron should i get without spending much??!!!n how do Conair irons work?are they good enough?Which hair straightener(iron) should i get??!!!plz help!!?
Hair thickness depends on your hair not an iron. If you think it's too thin try a volumizer then style. Personally I don't like conair for over the counter irons, try Revlon or Andis. They're inexpensive, but with better results.Which hair straightener(iron) should i get??!!!plz help!!?
ok to be honest Conair irons suck. It makes your hair straight for two seconds and then something rly weird like walking down stairs takes the straightness out of your hair.
I have a HairArt flat iron, and it was the best money I have ever spent. I got it on Amazon for $80 and it was totally worth it. It can straighten, curl, and flip my hair. However do not use any kind of gel or spray before, because at the end of the day when you are brushing your hair out and hear your hair making noises. You are literally ripping the hair out of your head. One product that you can use is Sexy Straight Hair. It works rly well, and doesn't make your hair look greasy. Most of the time you don't need this, because the flat iron makes your hair straight without it.
Don't get a Chi, whatever you do don't get a Chi. They may work rly, rly well for the one month they last. But they brake or the plate comes out. Also don't get a Bedhead straightener. They make your hair smell like plastic, and it doesn't straighten your hair.
For a little bit more money you can go to target and get bed head. It's great. I've used Helen of Troy from Salley's that is pretty good and around $30. Some times T.J. Maxx has really good ones like Chi and Metropolis ones for really cheap. I bought a Metro one for $45.00, and it's the best I've ever used! For the thickness look. Use a thickening product and blow dry your hair upside-down with a round brush. Then straighten it.
