The T3 Tourmaline Wet to Dry flat iron is a great styling tool. However, many women who use a flat iron complain that they don't get the salon look the want. The following tips will help you get that professional look using the T3 Tourmaline or any other wet to dry flat iron.
1. Using a flat iron on your hair will damage it. So you need to help protect and repair it by washing and conditioning your hair with a good shampoo and conditioner that are designed to help repair the damage that hair straightening causes. Pay a little more for good products like Matrix Biolage For Therapy or GHD Nurture Shampoo - both help repair split ends and strengthen weak, overworked hair without weighing it down.
2. Apply a small amount of Redken AntiSnap Leavin treatment into towel dried hair. Redken AntiSnap is designed to gently smooth the cuticle, reduce friction from brushing and helps fortify hair that's prone to breaking, splitting or snapping off.
3. Add a thumb-sized amount of straightening balm and blow dry hair straight using fingers to pull hair straight to prevent breakage from a brush or comb. There are many good straightening balms on the market: AG Set It Straightening Balm, Kenra Straightening Serum and Frederic Fekkai Straight Away Straightening Balm are all excellent.
4. Apply the same amount of Matrix Sleek Look sealing serum just to the ends of your hair to prevent hair from getting oily quickly.
5. Separate your hair into three sections at the sides and four at the back and run the T3 Tourmaline through each section. You should begin with the bottom layer and work your way up to the top.
6. Never apply anything to your hair after you have dried and straightened it as doing so will only make your hair become more oily and dirty quickly. If you follow the above steps and use your T3 Tourmaline Wet to Dry flat iron correctly your hair should stay straight without adding extra products.
7. If you regularly straighten your hair you should use a deep conditioning treatment twice a week. There are many good treatments on the market; Redken All Soft Heavy Cream is one such.
Anyone can get that salon, super-sleek, shiny look when they use their wet to dry flat iron. As said earlier, it doesn't have to be the T3 Tourmaline Wet to Dry flat iron, as cheap flat iron can give you the same look.
