Do's and Don'ts for Using a Ceramic Hair Straightening Iron
Do's and Don'ts for Using a Ceramic Hair Straightening Iron
If it's your first time to use a ceramic hair straightening iron, congratulations are in order because you've made the right choice. Hair irons that have ceramic coating or plates are the safest to use because they produce just the right amount of heat to style or straighten your hair and never to the point of burning them.
Do take the time to read the instruction sheet or manual.
Hopefully, either of one is provided. If not, you should contact its manufacturer and ask for exact instructions as well as any other conditions that you should take extra care of to prevent damaging the device or your hair. If you can't find any contact details of the manufacturer then contact the store you've purchased the item from. Ask for a demonstration and find out if there are any other special dos and don'ts you should know about before using it.
Do not leave the device plugged and switched on if you're not planning to use it.
Granted, you may want to leave the device on so that by the time your hair's reasonably dry, the device has also warmed up sufficiently to be ready for use. You have to make sure that you don't leave it plugged and switched on for too long as there's always a possibility that the device would overheat. In worst case scenario, and with other unfortunate factors present, the device might even short-circuit the entire electrical system and lead to a minor fire incident.
Do be careful when straightening your hair with an electrical iron.
Even hair irons that use ceramic technology can still end up ruining your hair for good if you don't use them properly.
Keep these rules in mind and your ceramic hair straightening iron will be your hair's best friend for life.
