The Biggest Flat Iron Mistake You’re Making

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! 😱

Using a comb with your flat iron will save your fiingers!

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.
