How to Straighten Your Hair With a Chi Iron
Even if your hair is naturally wavy or curly, you can use a flat iron to temporarily straighten out your locks. The Chi brand flat iron consists of two ceramic plates. Once these plates are heated, the iron crimps onto hair and as the hair passes through it is straightened. Hair straightening can be used on several different hair types and lengths, though before you begin, you should first prepare your hair for the straightening treatment. Does this Spark an idea?
