To use an Infiniti Pro Conair flat iron for straightening hair, you will primarily focus on the core technique of sectioning and gliding the iron down your hair, trapping the hair between the hot plates and maintaining tension as you move from root to tip.
Preparing Your Hair
Before you begin using your Infiniti Pro Conair flat iron, ensure your hair is clean, completely dry, and tangle-free. Apply a heat protectant spray evenly throughout your hair to minimize potential damage from the heat. Sectioning your hair using clips can make the straightening process more manageable and effective.
The Straightening Process
The fundamental steps for straightening hair with your flat iron, based on the standard operation, involve carefully guiding sections of hair between the heated plates.
Here is the process to follow:
- Open the Iron and Position Hair: Begin by opening the iron. Take a section of hair and carefully place it between the two hot plates, positioning the iron close to the scalp.
- Trap Hair Between Plates: To secure the hair section for straightening, trap hair between the plates by firmly squeezing the handles together. This ensures even contact with the heat.
- Pull Down Slowly: While maintaining consistent tension on the hair section, slowly pull the unit down along the hair section toward the end. This gliding motion smooths and straightens the hair as the heat is applied.
Repeat this process for each section of hair until you have achieved your desired look. Work efficiently but avoid rushing, as a slow, steady pass is more effective than multiple quick passes.
Tips for Best Results
- Section Hair: Work with small to medium sections of hair for better control and more effective straightening.
- Adjust Temperature: If your model has adjustable temperature settings, start with a lower setting and increase only if necessary based on your hair type (thinner hair requires less heat than thicker hair). Note: The specific reference did not detail temperature settings, so consult your iron's manual.
- Clean Plates: Ensure the flat iron plates are clean before use for optimal performance and to prevent residue buildup.
By following these steps and tips, you can effectively use your Infiniti Pro Conair flat iron to achieve smooth, straight hair.
