When you use a styling iron on your hair for the first time, you should check whether it cause any serious ill effects on your hair or not. It is highly important to safeguard your hair. It is always advised that you avoid using a flat iron that does not have any protecting features on a regular basis on your hair. The use of ordinary irons such as those made with aluminum plates is highly hazardous as it tends to heat your hair unevenly and can cause pulling and formation of frizz. With the developing concern for a better quality flat iron, ceramic models came into being. They are manufactured with high quality ceramic heating plates that do not overheat or pull the hair, thereby offering better protection to the hair.
Ceramic irons safeguard the hair by reducing the intensity of heat by liberating a number of negative ions when heated. As a result, you are provided with healthier hair that is free of damaging spots and frizz. Tourmaline devices are even safer and efficient than the ceramic iron due to the more negative ions they produce during styling. The main advantage of using a ceramic or tourmaline straightener is that they can be used on a regular basis without damaging your hair. They can withstand heat and therefore prevent your hair from being damaged due to excessive heat exposure. However, when using a styling rod on your hair that already has split or dead ends, it is advised to trim them off.
Some people are in the need for using a straightener for styling the hair daily due to the frizzy and unmanageable nature of their hair. But as per the suggestions of popular hair specialists, you have to give a 24 hour break to your hair when using a flat iron again. This will help you to understand how your hair would respond to a hot iron. It is also said that if you come to experience any type of hair issues with frequent use of a flat iron, you should again increase the gaps between the days of using a flat iron. And if your hair remains healthy and free of any hair issues even after the daily use of flat iron, you can use it without any worries.
