Keeping up with latest hairstyles comes with challenges, especially if have straight hair but love curly hair. Using the different tools available means there is a higher possibility of damage without one realising it. Using heat to style the hair can be even difficult for professionals who get better at it with time, so it is only fair to say that we also make mistakes while trying to curl our hair using a curling wand or iron.
While the mistakes listed below aren`t the end of the world (or your hair), they`re not ones you want to make again.
If you curl your own hair frequently, you`ll want to avoid these blunders as much as possible shared by Rayed Merchant, Spokesperson, Ikonic Professional.
If you don`t use a heat protectant beforehand, you`ll burn yourself
You should use a heat protectant on your hair before you use your hot tool of choice. A heat protectant adds a barrier between the tool and your strands to lock in moisture and battle frizz, reducing the damage caused by hot tools. They come in a variety of compositions, but sprays are the easiest to deal with and get the work done.
