Excellent article. I tried this as I have long thick hair and it works very well. I have given up on using hair irons as they cause too much damage. Thanks for the tips as my sisters have tried it as well and love the results.

Just a note about flat ironing . . . it does not and cannot prevent split ends, whether you are using a ceramic iron or not. Ceramic irons are better because they encourage even heat distribution so you don't get what stylists call "hot spots." This doesn't mean they're good for your hair. You hair will seem shinier because using a flat iron seals the hair cuticle temporarily. Key word here is temporarily. You're still damaging your hair whenever you apply heat and it's best to use the flat iron sparingly.

I have fairly short coarse curly hair. When I dry my hair and try to pull the curl out, I am left with waves which I HATE! I don't like straightening irons. How can I avoid making waves???

I have really curly hair, and tried just about everything under the sun to make it less volumized. If the products even work, my hair's as hard as a rock because of all the product I put in it. I would kill for wavy and less-puffy hair. I love my curls, and although I've straightened it several times, I wouldn't want to get rid of my curls permanently. If anyone has suggestions as to what I should do to achieve my results, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I really urge you all to invest in a Chi straightener. In Canada, it's about $150, but it's worth all the money. The Chi is fully ceramic, so the heat is distributed evenly and it doesn't damage your hair, unlike other cheap ones (such as Conair) that are only coated in ceramic. With the Chi, you should use products by Bio silk, called Silk Therapy. They come from the same company as Chi, so I find they work well together. Wash your hair with the Silk Therapy shampoo and conditioner the night before, towel dry a bit, comb it out, add some silk therapy frizz serum near the ends, and let it dry overnight. You'll have smooth and silky hair in the morning, since blow dryers make your hair frizzy and puffy. Separate your hair into two to three inch sections with clips. Start at the back by spraying the section with hairspray (aerosol not pump) and then use a comb to brush it out before going over it with the Chi straightener. Repeat this on every section. I can guarantee that you'll have incredibly smooth, silky, and straight hair that will last all day, regardless of humidity. Let the straightener heat for about half an hour before using it and wipe it clean every few days.

I've used ceramic flat irons for a few years; they straightened out my hair pretty well but did nothing against humidity. I recently got a sapphire flat iron called Solano and it's great! It leaves my hair straighter than any ceramic iron ever did and my hair doesn't frizz out in rainy weather anymore. It's more expensive than the ceramic flat irons you see at the drugstores, but it's definitely worth it.

The best way to start any hair straightening routine is to rinse out shampoo with hot water, and rinse out conditioner with water as cold as you can stand. It guarantees your hair will be soft, shiny and sleek no matter how you straighten it.
