Hair straighteners have now become a popular styling tool. Both professionals and private women use this hairdressing tool. Hair can be styled in different ways using a straightening iron. You can straighten curly hair as well as shape straight hair into waves or curls. Today we'll give you a few tips on how to achieve perfect styling with a straightener.
A trend that has probably led to the popularity of straighteners is the so-called sleek look.That modern Lookis minimalistic yet chic. There are different ways to style a sleek: the hair is either combed straight back, styled in a tight braid or combed into a middle parting.
After washing and blow-drying, you can easily create a sleek look. However, in order to achieve an attractive result, there are a few things to consider when smoothing:
• Use special shampoo: When washing, you should use a shampoo that makes your hair smooth and shiny.
• Blow dry your hair: The hair must be completely dry before using the straightener. You should set the hairdryer to medium heat.
• Use heat protection: The straightener exposes the hair to high temperatures. To protect it from damage, the heat protectant places a thin film over the hair.
• Choose the right temperature: The temperature of the straightening iron must be tailored to the condition of the hair. 200 degrees is only suitable for particularly tight, thick hair. However, if you have thin hair, you should not set the temperature above 150 degrees.
• Strand by strand: When straightening, you have to pay attention to the appropriate width of the strands. 4-6 cm is best. The width of the strands should in any case be 2 cm.
• Even movement: The straightening iron is pulled in a large arc from the hairline to the tips. If you stay in one place for too long, overheating can occur.
• Move horizontally away from the head: The strands must be kept horizontal to the scalp. To avoid burning your scalp, you should keep a certain distance from the roots. With the Sleek, the roots are not smoothed, otherwise the hair will lie too close to the head and look flattened.
• Apply hairspray: Finally, the new hairstyle is secured with a hairspray.
With the straightener you can easily give yourself a new look without going to the hairdresser. The Sleek, for example, can be easily combined with elaborate evening dresses as it does not draw attention from the wardrobe to the hairstyle. A beautiful face can be particularly highlighted by this hairstyle. Although the sleek is still trendy, in 2017 there will be an increasing focus on curls and volume.www.haarglaetteisen.comgives instructions on how to style curls with a straightener.
