BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Hair Dry hair from iron

Hey everyone!

Just a quick question, I just started using a hair iron to straighten my hair. It makes it a bit dry, not too much, but it's not as smooth as I would like it, I was wondering what the best (and cheapest) way to make it nice and soft and healthy, etc.

I think you get the point:P

Thanks!!!

Hi Lizzy,
Yes the heat from flat irons (and any iron that gets really hot) can be drying. You should use a heat protectant that stays in, before you dry your hair. The best one I know of is Bliss by Nioxin. It conditions, rebuilds and protects hair even from ultra high temps. It is sold in salons.

There are others that you might find in the stores.

In addition to that, using a smoothing serum will give a smoother, silkier finish. (ARTec has Kiwi Blow Serum, Nioxin has Reflectives Silk Elixir) You will find similar items in the stores. I haven't found any as good as these or that last as long - since they are concentrated.

Thank you very much for taking the time to reply to me.

I will definitely look into those. I was wondering what the price range was?

Again, thank you very much:)
