I have longer hair for a guy, and since my hair is wavy and not so straight, from time to time I will use a flatiron to help control my hair care and style. Have actually learned a few great tips when using heat to straighten your hair, as was demonstrated to me by my older sister, who has had long hair most of her life. There are some hair care tips that she has offered to me that I am so glad to know, because otherwise I could have severely damaged my hair or even worse, burned it. She recommended to me that I apply a thermal protector to my hair before using a flatiron so that I could protect my hair and not have to worry about the heat from the iron burning it. Another thing that she has recommended that I do is make sure that I use a good anti-frizz serum following the flatiron routine to help control loose strands of hair. And one final hair care tip she has offered me is to use hair ties that are specially coated so they don’t tear or damage your hair when they slip. Thanks sis, for always looking out for me with these hair care tips!
