The hair straightener always get as hot as 450 degrees, after straighten the part of hair, the heat goes away and it doesn't straighten the hair well. The intense heat can really dry out hair and make it brittle and cause breakage. Just make sure get one with ceramic plates that heat evenly through the hair. Also you should be putting some type of thermal protectant on the hair before you dry your hair, just like CHI's Silk Infusion or CHI 44 Iron Guard. When it comes to hair straighteners, it's better to get a good one at the beginning terms, or you'll pay for it later. Please go to hair straightener category, we have reviews on almost all the popular straighteners. And see a before and after picture and then judge for yourself.
From personal experience, the best ones are Sedu and Solia. I own a Sedu, but if it ever breaks down I'm getting the Solia. After trying my friend's I'm in love with it. It is $88 (free shipping) instead of $129 like the Sedu, and it works just as great, if not better. Do not get a cheap hair straightener, it would eventually dry out your hair like you won't believe. All heat styling causes some degree of damage. But non ceramic, cheap hair straighteners cause the most damage. Some hair straighteners are only ceramic coated, and eventually begins to chip off. It has a tendency to short out quickly. Usually within 8-9 months, 1 OR 2 years if you are lucky.
Try Smooth down shampoo and Butter treat conditioner. Before straightening, use the Heat glide. The butter treat conditioner has one problem: your hair will either love it or hate it. If your hairs doesn't like it, then go with All Soft Heavy Cream. |
