Curls can be made into many different shapes with curling tongs or flattened with a hairdryer and straightening irons.  Straightening irons should be used with an appropriate spray that suits your hair style. If you iron your hair regularly you need to be aware that it’s delicate and requires lots of care and the right products to keep it healthy: mousse, gel and conditioner (leave in) can all protect you.  When ironing your hair always put a protector in, slowly draw the irons down from the root to the end, at all times keeping the irons moving and following the direction of the cuticle. This will help your hair lie flat and provide a beautiful shiny look.

Additional tips for keeping your hair healthy:

  • Drink lots of water. Every day you should drink eight glasses of water (two liters). Drinking water will hydrate your hair.
  • Get enough sleep. Looking after your body and hair starts with getting regular amounts of sleep. Lack of sleep can affect your skin and hair.
  • Exercise to stay healthy. When swimming it is best to apply conditioner to combat chlorine
  • Be aware of how much you touch your hair. Try to avoid touching, flicking, picking rubbing of hair as this can all cause damage

For the maximum curls and health of your hair it is important to follow them. Curling your hair is the easy part maintaining healthy and undamaged hair is the hard part. Its important to remember that there are many different types of hair curling irons. Each different type will give your hair a different type of curl depending on factors such as the length, and health of your hair. The first step your going to want to take is to find the right flat iron for your type of hair. If your hair is very thick or curly already its best to use a skinny hair curling iron with a thickness of an inch and a quarter or less. The next step is very important and many people do not know or take the time to do it! This is applying a gel, also known as a heat protector to your hair. This heat protective gel will help to reduced damage that is caused by the hair curling iron.  For the best curls its important to make sure that your hair is already fully dry. If your hair is wet or even lightly damp it will not curl as well and it will cause your hair to frizz up instead. That is why making sure you dry your hair completely before curling is so important. The next thing you will want to do when you are curling your hair with a flat iron is too take a section of hair from one to three inches long and use the flat iron to turn the hair in half turns, wrapping the hair around the iron and moving it in the direction that you want the curls. When you have done this you next need to pull the curling iron through the piece you are holding while at the same time pulling on your hair and keeping it straight. After you have done this you must repeat it again and again on the different sections of your hair until you have the desired affect. The final stage of curling your hair with a flat iron is to apply hairspray to the curls that you have curled. Make sure that you use an aerosol type of hairspray and dont forget to spray under your hair as well many women forget to do this one final step and trust me ladies it makes a huge difference in maintaining beautiful curls.
