If your hair is short, choose a smaller iron. If your hair is very thick or long, opt for a larger iron. This will also speed up the time it takes you to straighten your hair. To achieve ringlet curls, use a smaller curling iron. To achieve loose waves, use a larger curling iron.
If you have fine/thin hair, choose a heat protectant spray. If you have thick/coarse hair, select a heat protectant oil, cream, or lotion.
If your hair is thick, you will need to divide it into sections. Start with 4 sections. If the sections are thick, further divide your hair.
Temperatures ranging from 175 °F (79 °C) to 400 °F (204 °C) will work for most hair types. Start at 175 °F (79 °C) and gradually increase the temperature if your hair is not straightening or curling to your liking. If you have coarse, thick hair or resistant hair and you’re using a low setting, you will likely need to go over your hair more than once with the flat iron. If you’re using a curling iron at a temperature that is way too low for your hair’s texture, you will likely need to let it sit for longer than 3-5 seconds to ensure that the curl is as tight as you desire. Avoid setting your iron higher to 400 °F (204 °C). Larger irons are more likely to have temperature controls. If yours doesn’t, check the box it came in for its max heat.
Applying heat to your hair everyday will cause damage. After you’ve used heat 1-2 times during a single week, find alternatives for the rest of the week to minimize damage, such as using rollers.
Apply a traditional deep conditioner after you shampoo. Wait anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes (following package instructions), and rinse with cool water. Some products may be left on overnight. Opt for a leave-in conditioner if you are prone to split ends or breakage. Read package instructions; some products should be applied to wet hair and others to dry hair.
