A flatiron is also known as a hair straightener, and it’s meant for (as you can guess) hair straightening! Usually, it is used for all types of curly hair, from wavy to kinky, to get perfectly straight and shiny locks. Some time ago flatiron considered to be only for women, but today it serves for the sake of men fashion and style.
It can be used for any hair length or structure with the same wonderful effect. Unfortunately, as all hairstyling tools, it has disadvantages. So, let’s see what says one of the best barbers in NYC about this thing.
Here is detailed hair guide on how to use this mysterious (for some men) heating styling tool at home.
Step #1
Clean your hair before using a flatiron. Wash your head carefully with cleaning shampoo and conditioner for additional shine.
Step#2
You shouldn’t apply any styling products or tools on wet strands; consequently, let your hair become dry in a natural way, or use a blow dryer (choose a preferable option).
Step #3
It is necessary to apply some heat protection product, the serum, for example, to protect your hair from thermal damage.
Step #4
Now, add some mousse to your hair if you want to get kind of voluminous hairstyle. If you want to have sleek one, you are to use pomade, but only after the 5th step.
Step #5
Take a section of the hair, consisting of one or several locks, and place the hair in between the two parts of the hair straightener. Try to set the hair straightener as close to the scalp as possible. Lock the plates of the hair straightener so they’re clipped with the chosen segments of the hair in between the plates. Run the hair straightener smoothly in one go until the end of the locks. Repeat on any new locks you want to be straightened. Try to run through one lock two times maximum.
Step #6
Stick to as lowest temperature as you can. Usually, it is 120 degrees Celsius. Remember: the higher temperature you use, the bigger damage you cause to your hair.
Step #7
Use quality flatirons. Ceramic ones considered to be the best. They work much longer than their cheaper brothers and have better effect on strands.
Now you know how to use a flatiron, so go straight to your nearest shop and buy the one you like the most. If you need some help, make an appointment with one of the best barbers in NYC and find answers to all your questions. Find more tips here

Being Your Own Boss & Low-Cost Business Start-Up Ideas
So, you’ve thought about making a change and being your own boss… and you’ve probably second guessed yourself and been frightened off by the lack of ‘security’ and ‘guaranteed income’ that a JOB brings … Well, I’m here to tell you that the security of fixed employment in a large company or well-known institution is a myth. I used to believe the myth for quite a while, even when moving from project to project, but thankfully my entrepreneurial spirit kicked in and I saw the light! (and the freedom!)
