Ceramic Flat Iron Styling Tips
Whether you have naturally curly hair or just a wave throughout, you may have considered straightening your tresses. Ceramic flat irons are the perfect solution for you. They work quickly, are economical and do not damage the hair follicles.
It is important to use the correct product for your hair type before straightening. Define whether your hair is dry, oily, thick, thin, frizzy or fly away and choose a straightening cream, thermal protector or hair relaxer appropriately. Using the correct type of flat iron will produce best results. Ionic ceramic flat irons made with the gem stone tourmaline are the best for hair because they emit gentle “infra-red heat waves” that are more protective to the hair follicles. Ionic ceramic flat irons straightens hair without scorching, burning or singeing.
An ion is a molecule either positively
or negatively charged. Frizzy, dry and damaged hair has a positive ionic
charge, which makes it stand up. To have smooth, shiny hair you need to
neutralize that positive charge with a negative ion ceramic plate. Ionic
Ceramic Tourmaline Flat Irons neutralizes the positive ions and seals
moisture and oils into the hair cuticles leaving every strand silky and
smooth. One of the benefits of using an ionic ceramic flat iron is that it
can be used on damp hair with beautiful results.

- Test the temperature of the iron by using a dry tissue. If you see any smoking, scorching or discoloration of the paper is a warning to let the iron cool before using.
- Remember if the flat iron is too hot it can burn your skin so use caution when near the scalp area.

· Comb hair when cool for a smooth finish and to separate clumping.
· Go back and re-straighten any pieces that did not flatten out nicely.
