How to Use a Steam Comb Hair Straightener

A steam comb hair straightener is one of the most popular hair straightening and styling tools. It is especially ideal for people with curly or wavy hair who want a sleek and straight look. It can also be used to smooth frizziness or fly-aways on any type of hair. Stylists tend to use these straighteners to give their clients a smooth style.

Things You'll Need

• Steam comb hair straightener
• Blow dryer
• Hair brush or comb
• Styling mousse
• Hair spray

Instructions

1. Shampoo and condition your hair before you begin styling.

2. Blow dry your hair or allow time for it to air dry.

3. Brush or comb your hair to untangle any unruly strands. Apply a dollop of mousse to smooth flyaways and loose strands. If you have thick hair, separate it into sections using clips and style the sections separately for best results.

4. Take individual, inch-wide strands of hair and gently glide the steam comb hair straightener through each strand without applying too much pressure. Begin from the roots and glide down toward the tips. Continue until all strands have been straightened. One glide through each strand should be enough, but if you have very coarse hair two or more glides may be needed.

5. Keep the straightener at least three inches away from your face and scalp. Remember that the steam can get extremely hot and burn your skin.
