3 Straighten your hair
Straighteners are powerful styling tools and must always be used with care.
As with all straighteners that reach salon-high temperatures, do not use the appliance frequently to avoid
damage to the hair. If you use the straightener incorrectly or at the wrong temperature setting, you could
overheat your hair or even burn it. Always make sure you select a temperature setting that is suitable for
your hair type. Always select a low setting when you use the straightener for the first time.
