Flat Iron for a Sleek, Straight Air
A lot of people with curly or wavy hair desire to have a sleek and shiny hair. I guess it is already man’s innate nature to want what we don’t have. Because of this, a number of people with curly hair go to beauty salons and have their hair relaxed, straightened, or rebonded. Chemical hair straightening can transform your dry, frizzy curls to sleek, straight, shiny hair. However, all chemical treatments damage hair in the long run, making it dull and lifeless. Furthermore, you are not allowed to wash your hair for a few days after a treatment, and it is also discouraged to put your hair up into a ponytail or to tuck it behind your ear since it will form dents.
An alternative to chemical hair straightening treatments is by using a flat iron. A flat iron is a tong-like device with ceramic or metal plates which uses heat to straighten your hair. I tried using one when having long, pin-straight hair was still the trend. In just a few minutes, my messy hair was transformed into straight, smooth and shiny. The good thing is that it’s only temporary. If you have naturally wavy and or curly hair, just shampoo and you have your old hair back.
However, all treatments, whether permanent or temporary, causes hair damage. It is still best to love your natural crowning glory, and enhance and take good care of it.
