Don't straighten your hair daily because it can damage your hair. When you're done with your flat iron, turn it off and set it on the counter, not the cupboard. Let it cool. This prevents the risk of fire. Keep the flat iron away from your skin so that you do not get burned. Set the flat iron to right temp for your hair. read more
Don't use oils and butters prior to blow drying and flat ironing, as the heat can cause oils and butters to fry your hair---especially when flat ironing. Don't use heat over 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Hair burns at 451 degrees Fahrenheit. Avoid passing the flat iron over each section more than once. Do not flat iron your hair every day. read more
