The concept behind a styling tool is to make hair look smooth and sleek. Most flat irons do exactly what the name says: They make your hair flat! Just because women want to tame their frizzies or make curly hair straight does not mean they want hair that is limp and lacking fullness. What’s more, many who already have straight hair want the option of curls or soft waves. Traditional flat irons can’t do that. Some women find themselves going through a three step process of drying their hair with a traditional blower, using a flat iron to straighten and then a curling iron to achieve body. Who has that kind of time to spend on their hair? The inventors behind Ferrum understand these hair woes and provide a state-of-the art styling tool that delivers PHAT hair.
- Make sure your hair is completely dry. Two things change the composition of hair- heat and moisture. If your hair is wet it will be much less manageable.
- Always start straightening with the pad facing out (i.e. the pad should be "under" your hair)
- Begin styling from the root. The benefit of our product is that you can get very close to the root without burning your scalp.
- When styling use a slow and steady motion from root to tip
- Volume can be controlled with the angle at which you style. For increased volume turn rotate your hand so your wrist is closer to your head.
- If you want a sleeker, less voluminous look, finish by doing an extra stroke with the pad facing inwards.
- The Ferrum styler is composed of unique materials. Allow ample time for the styler to heat up. The results will be worth it.
- To keep your hair styled perfectly for the whole day or night, use a lightweight finishing spray to keep your hair in place.
- Take good care of your flat iron! It's a great piece of equipment and not exactly cheap to replace, so simply storing it in a heat proof pouch - or using one for safe travel - will help you protect your iron and keep using it for a long, long time. You can also set your iron down on this heat proof surface during styling to protect counters from possible heat damage.
- Clean your flat iron from time to time - frequently if you use leave in conditioners or heat serums, every week or so if not. Build-up on the plates can cause your hair to snag and shorten the life of the plates themselves. Heat your iron and then wipe it down with a non-abrasive cloth - use a flat iron cleaner if you use leave-in treatments frequently, but avoid chemical solvents not meant for cleaning your iron.
