Choose the wrong hair iron

Some flat irons are special for salon use, and some are for home use which is easier to operate by oneself. So choose the flat iron which fits for you. The strong, solid flat irons for heavy salon work may not works well for you.

Normally, 410 F works for every hair type. Not everyone need 450F. High temperature will get your hair burned and damaged. Start from the lower temperature. Choose the right temperature according to your hair type.

 Temperature setting
Fragile, fine or chemically processed hair

 410F-450F
