Whatever your choice, be aware that for smooth strands to look good, with no broken and frizzy strands, it is important to treat them well and protect them with specific products.

Healthy yarns for a smooth smashing

Flat ironing the damaged and dried-out wires can make their situation worse, and may even break the weaker ones, leaving that creepy chive look we all abhor.

Well-hydrated and healthy hair is much easier to deal with when using the flat iron and, of course, the final look of the smooth you want is a thousand times more beautiful with the well-treated locks.

So first of all, if your hair is in urgent need of help, use beautiful hydration with quality products in the salon or at home.

If the hair is very brittle, a good way out is also to cauterize or recover the hair with keratin products, both of which are found in many beauty salons.

Another important tip for hair health is the same for whole body health: good nutrition. Include more fruits and vegetables in your meals. In addition to the intake of good sources of protein and, of course, hydration of the body with plenty of water.

Cocked flat iron

Ten years ago, flat iron has evolved a lot. Those big, heavy models with the metal plates that used to detonate the wires, gave way to items with ceramic plates that do not damage the hair, because it keeps the temperature better, excluding the need to pass several times in the locks to achieve the desired smooth.


Some flat iron also has the function of treating hair while straightening, by introducing technologies such as infrared waves and the ionization of appliances.

The ions released by them have the function of neutralizing the electricity of the wires, closing the cuticles, ending the creeps and making the hair brighter. In addition, ions also aid in the absorption of water by the wires, providing more protection and more hydrated hair.

When ironing, apply a protective product that will potentiate its action, separate into strands and gently slide over each one.

What products to use?

To achieve that perfect or more textured smooth, there are amazing and excellent quality products in the national and international cosmetics market.

Some are special to use before flat ironing, to protect them from heat, leave them perfectly textured and maintain hydration. They contain thermoactivating ingredients and keratin in their formulas. The others are anti-frizz and finishers to keep fit and extend the result longer, increasing the durability of the smooth.
