How To Flat Iron Hair Step by Step

Get a smooth as silk hair straightening finish with these simple instructions.

What You Need

• Quality Ceramic Flat Iron
• Heat Protective Spray
• Tail Comb
• 2-3 Large Hair Clips

Step 1

Use snag free clips to pin your hair up and work from the back to the front.

Step 2

Use a tail comb to part a one by half inch thick part of hair from the back section of your head. Comb through any tangles.

Step 3

Give the section a very light mist of heat protectant and wait a few seconds for the extra moisture to evaporate.

Step 4

Put your flat iron (use a one to one and a half inch plate size) on a medium heat setting.

Step 5

Starting at the base of your hair, clamp the iron and move it in a smooth continuous motion down the length of your hair. Glide loosely but firmly so it doesn’t snag your strands.

Step 6

Go over the section again using the same stroke (no more than 3 times) until it’s completely smooth and has a silky look.

Step 7

Move on to the next section and repeat until your entire head is done.

Flat Ironing Tips For A Sleek Healthy Finish

• The key to getting a smooth finish is working thoroughly and in small sections.
• Never ever use the flat iron on the highest setting; you’ll burn your hair off!
• Always flat iron clean hair with a clean flat iron. If not, you run the risk of breaking your hair off.
• Don’t flat iron your hair more often than once a week for your healthiest hair.
• Wrap your hair to keep in straight after you flat iron.
