My aunt used to be a hairstylist and she taught people how to do hair she says heat protectant isn't really necesary if ur not gonna use heat on your hair everyday! She says if you are gonna be using heat like a curling iron etc, that you need to use heat protectant! Hope that helps! ☺️

"Only run the straightener one time"
*straightens section*
*does it again*

[PBCPrincess]

Didn't she say to NOT flat iron in large sections?

[crystialst]

Another thing is DONT flat iron damp hair... Like Holy Sh** her hair is damp the whole time and you can see it. That fries your hair and causes breakage, best to wash hair and braid it or put into a pony tail low on the head and add elastic bands along the length, and flat iron the following day /morning.. If possible

I appreciate the effort to do this but she doesn't have curly hair so wtf how is this relatable to every hair type

[luciapatterson]

She clearly doesn’t have frizzy/curly hair bc if I brush mine after straightening it it goes back to being bushy

[kepzhzg]

No offence but the end result for her hair looks like how my hair looks after i dont wash it in a week... Usually when I straighten my hair, its really soft and smooth but it seems that she uses a really high heat so the hair sticks together, I keep mine at a low heat.

Flat ironing ur hair is the best thing ever.. Its so relaxing and rewarding.. It just gives u that confidence that u run the world

[theslayologist]

Thanks for sharing! There are so many do's & don'ts for flat ironing

[Thats_MarieHoney]

Don't tip: Don't weigh your hair down like she just did. 😂😂
For thin, Caucasian hair use the lightest amout. Or just deep condition before so you won't have to use heat protectant at all.

[Becksnnc]

I don't understand why she's straightening her hair when her hair is already straight lol

[jong]

i realized i do almost all of the donts. woops

[sheilagerhardt]

Don’t go too slow or you can burn your hair and it’s okay to go over it more than once

[chelsea]

Lol what.
I flat iron my hair at 350, and I do it with two passes, I have very very thick hair, it usually takes me 35 minutes just to get it done, blow drying is so much longer

[lianasoares]

Getting my hair flat-ironed makes me fall asleep, it’s so relaxing. 😴💤😁

Hair follicles are in the root! You can`t change their direction by combing your oily hair!!!

[platonically]

my aunt got mad at me and she poured her madness in my hair and after the ironing my hair got super damaged but i grew it back but the damage is still in half of my hair like its in the middle section :'/

[emoboysloveme]

You remind me of Vicky from vampire diaries

I would say spray your hair with water and run the water through your veins to get it soaked(a little) around your hair.
