Using a ceramic flat iron effectively involves sectioning your hair and carefully gliding the iron from root to tip in a single pass per section.
To get started with straightening your hair using this method:
Preparing Your Hair
- Start from the back: Begin working on the hair located at the back of your head.
- Sectioning: Create a one-inch section of hair. Use clips to secure and hold the rest of your hair away from the section you are working on.
Applying Heat and Straightening
- Subsection: From the one-inch section, take a smaller subsection of hair.
- Heat Protectant: Evenly apply some heat protectant to this smaller subsection. (Note: This step is for application specifically to the subsection if not done earlier on the larger section or the entire head).
- Glide the iron: Take the ceramic flat iron and glide it smoothly down the hair. Start the movement from the root to the tip of the subsection.
- Single Pass: Ensure you only make one pass only with the flat iron over each subsection of hair.
By following these steps for each subsection, you can effectively use a ceramic flat iron to straighten your hair from back to front.
