Re: Flat Iron

Stupid question, but is it fairly easy to do with the iron? Does it take a long time?

Re: Flat Iron

It depends. I have thin, really crazy flyaway hair...so it's SO much quicker with the iron, and it worls so much better for me. But it could alos be that I have NO aptitude with a blowdryer, which I readily admit

Re: Flat Iron

if you get a good ceramic iron it is sooo quick and easy because you dont have to keep going over it ---one stroke you are done

Nope, its easy. Section hair after blown out dry then run hot iron thru, nice smooth finish.
I did it this am, took 15min.

Thought this might help too.

Re: Flat Iron

I don;t even blow it out.... I run straihgrning mousse throught t, pull it into a bun, for awhile, then let it dry (sometimes overnight) then flat iron it. I have no patience for blowdryers!

Re: Flat Iron

I bought the HAI from the Folica website for $85 and I love it. I also had the CHI and that also worked really good too. The CHI might be a little bit better, but the HAI works just fine for me.

I usually let my hair air dry and then straighen it so it's less damaging. Just don't become dependable on your flat iron because it can do a lot of damage to your hair. Enjoy !
