Are You Flat Ironing Your Hair the Right Way?
Last week, I was consulting with a client struggling to style her bob. She has super thick, wavy hair, and as she’s getting older, her hair texture has changed. After reviewing her haircut, I realized the issue wasn’t the cut—it was how she was flat ironing damp hair! 😱

Why You Should Never Flat Iron Damp Hair
If you’ve ever heard a sizzling sound while styling, that’s not a good thing. Here’s what happens when you flat iron damp hair:
🔥 It creates steam—not straightened hair.
🔥 You risk burning yourself from the steam.
🔥 Most importantly—it literally fries your hair!
That sizzling noise? That’s moisture evaporating from your strands, leaving them dry, brittle, and damaged—just like frying bacon in a pan! 😬
How to Flat Iron Safely
✔ Blow dry completely before using a flat iron.
✔ Use a heat protectant to shield your strands.
✔ Work in small sections for even styling.
✔ Use the lowest heat setting necessary.
