Q) - I want my hair to be smooth straight hair, with a little volume, but not too straight which gives a flat pin straight type of hair.
I am interested in buying a sedu hair straightening iron. My hair is not too thin, not too thick but dry ends. I would like to know how much heat should be applied to my hair to achieve this? Thank you!
Professional Hair Care Tips - From what I understand, you want smooth straight hair but not too flat. I would suggest that you use the low setting on the straightening iron. The higher the heat, the straighter your hair will be and the more damage you can do. If the setting you choose is too low, then raise the heat a bit. Of course, be very careful of your ends. Use the lowest setting on them!
You can improve your dry ends by using leave in conditioners on them. The old standard in leave in conditioners is Infusium. It always works well!~ Of course there are many others that work well too. Bumble and Bumble has a good leave in conditioner too! These types of conditioners will help not to dry out your ends more. Hopefully the Sedu iron will have a controller on it so you can set the amount of heat you want. More tips for dry hair.
In my experience, you can also achieve smooth straight hair, by just using your blow dryer. Simply blow dry your hair when it's still damp, and brush your hair gently from roots to ends. Do this in sections. Use high heat and hold your dryer above your head and aim the air flow direction down.
Of course, the best way to get rid of dry ends is to get them trimmed. If you can't afford to go to the hairdresser, you can trim them yourself using this method. Trim with caution however. Once you take hair off, you can't put it back! Its always better to take too little than too much!
