Hair Care: How To Straighten Hair Like a Pro
Follow these hair care tips to achieve perfectly smooth, straight, shiny hair every time you flat iron your hair
Tip 2: Select the right heat setting
Your hair texture and type should determine your heat setting. Most professionals use an iron with variable heat settings, but a drugstore iron (if you are on a tight budget) will work on some hair types as they are set to a "higher, workable temperature" and if the "density of your hair is average, than you should be OK," says Moticka. If you do have the ability to purchase an iron with a variable heat setting, then do so. The more your iron caters to your specific hair needs, the less likely you will be to damage your hair. The temperatures Moticka uses are as follows:For fine or damaged hair: 250-300 degrees
For medium/average hair: 300-350 degrees
For thick or coarse hair: 350-400 degrees
