Okay,
let’s face it! We all love curling our hair and giving them hardest treatment
ever, but we always hate to use a heat protectant. As a matter of fact, heat
protectant before using any heating equipment on the hair is as important as
using a sunblock on your skin while going
out. The extreme heat from the curling iron incurs
the extreme damage to hair that is definitely irreversible. So Always, Always,
use a heat protectant before doing a heat treatment (curling, straightening,
and blow drying) to your hair.
#2: Overlooking its Sanitization:
Just
like the makeup brushes and sponges, your curling iron, too, needs to be
cleaned. And that is what most of the girls don’t know. If you fail to clean your curling iron, the product
starts to buildup on the rod that compromises the efficiency of your curling rod.
It starts to prevent heat from distributing evenly and thus, causing uneven and
untidy curls that don’t look good at all. So, make sure to clean your curling
rod by simply rubbing alcohol on the rod using a damp cloth.
#3: Using the Wrong Temperature:
Many
girls use the maximum temperature while curling their hair in hope to turn them
out perfectly. However, that is the worst thing you are doing to your hair. In
order to keep your hair from damage, always try to use the minimum temperature
that works for you. This will not only saves your hair but also help them to
produce the best and long lasting curls ever.

We
always want those quick curls that will look as pretty as ever but really
time-saving. And in order to do so, we always missing to cool the curls that causes them to loosen than you have intended. So in order to keep the curls perfect, make
sure you cool the hair before setting them loose.
For this, you can use your hand (with gloves on) or also you can pin them up so
that they can easily cool down while not destroying the shape.
#5: Holding the Iron on your Hair Way
Too Long:
We
keep on holding the curling iron on our hair in hope that they will turn out to
be pretty and long-lasting. However, it
is one of the worst things you are doing to your hair. This not only damages
your hair but creates a mess of your hair. Only hold the iron on for a maximum of 8 to 10 seconds.
