The basic of Hair Straightener

Unless you have been living under a rock or in some remote cave odds are you have heard about one of the most popular hair styling trends sweeping the world today. Of course, I'm talking about straight hair and the easiest way to get this new look is with a Hair Straightener.

In the good old days (remember them?) people would use clothes irons to straighten their hair and I dont need to tell you that seeing someone with their head on top of an ironing board ironing their hair looked pretty ridiculous. A few years ago some genius invented the modern day Hair Straightener that makes taming that curly frizzy hair a snap and now there are hundreds of different models to choose from each with their own pros and cons. Looking like a curling iron a Hair Straightener is tong shaped with each tong having a heating element in it. Hair is placed between the heated tongs and pulled through in a motion similar to combing or brushing your hair and the result is wonderfully straight hair that will stay straight throughout the day.

When it comes to which Hair Straightener is the best if you asked 100 people you would probably get 100 different answers. Some straighteners can be used on wet or dry hair; some have metal plate heating elements while others have plates made of ceramic and some even have particles of tourmaline embedded in the ceramic plate to generate ions that help condition the hair. Less expensive straighteners usually have the metal plates mentioned above and they have a tendency to pull hair and do not distribute heat as evenly as the more popular ceramic plate designs which allow for a much smoother styling experience and more even heat distribution and control. This results in safer, quicker straightening which often takes less than 10 minutes from initial heating to putting the finishing touches to your newly straightened hair.

As far as pricing is concerned you can pay up to several hundred dollars for top end models that have all the bells and whistles but for most people these high end models are not really necessary as many mid-price models in the $39 - $99 range will do a great job on your hair. If you are concerned about safety rest assured that unlike blow dryers and curling irons when used properly a Hair Straightener is safe and will not damage your hair but it is best not to use one every day to let your hair rest and recover from the heat treatment.

Picking out a hair iron can be a bit overwhelming so first pick a price level you are comfortable with and then look at the various features available in all of the models in that range. For instance, a feature like instant heating may not be as important to you as having the ability to control the heat settings on the iron. If you can afford it you will definitely be more pleased with a ceramic plate flat iron as these seem to give the best overall results in the shortest period of time while making your hair perfectly straight, smooth and beautiful.

History of the Curling Iron

History of the Curling Iron

History of the Curling Iron. Is there such a thing or is the Curling Iron just a modern invention? Each generation is the same. We think we have invented something new when perhaps all we have done is to modify "old inventions" by applying modern technology. Let us begin to investigate the history of the Curling Iron or, as it is also known, the curling tong.

Let us begin with the definition of a Curling Iron. It is a tool, a cylindrical metal appliance, used to change the structure of the hair by applying heat to a lock of hair that has been curled around it. It is natural to think with a modern mind and assume that the heat is generated by electricity. However, the Curling Iron goes way back before the introduction of electricity.

We only have to look at carvings from the ancient world to see that people cared about the style of their hair and that a popular style involved creating curls. Babylonian and Assyrian men dyed their hair and square beards black and crimped and curled them with Curling Iron. Persian nobles also curled their hair and beards, quite often staining them.

Egyptian nobles, men and women, cropped their hair close but later, for coolness and cleanliness in their hot climate, shaved their heads. On ceremonial occasions, for protection from the sun, they wore wigs. The wigs would be short and curly or long and full of curls or braids. The Science Museum has an example of curling tongs used by rich Egyptians to prepare their wigs.

In classical Greece it is known that the upper classes used Curling Iron.

Through time there have been many methods devised to curl hair and to keep the curl in place. For example, in 1906 Charles L. Nessler, a German hairdresser working in London, applied a borax paste and curled hair with an iron to produce the first permanent waves. This costly process took twelve hours. Eight years later, Eugene Sutter adapted the method by creating a dryer containing twenty heaters to do the job of waving more efficiently. Sutter was followed by Gaston Boudou, who modified Sutter's dryer and invented an automatic roller. By 1920, Rambaud, a Paris beautician, had perfected a system of curling and drying permed hair for softer, looser curls by using an electric hot-air dryer, an innovation of the period made by the Racine Universal Motor Company of Racine, Wisconsin. A significant breakthrough came in 1945, when French chemist Eugene Schueller of L'Oréal laboratories combined the action of thioglycolic acid with hydrogen peroxide to produce the first cold permanent wave, which was cheaper and faster than the earlier hot processes. To control the amount of curl, varying diameter of rods were used for rolling. Technology to hold hair in place was advanced in 1960 when L'Oréal laboratories introduced a polymer hair spray to serve as an invisible net.

The Curling Iron has remained a favoured tool in spite of all the chemical inventions. We have moved on from the metal rods heated by insertion into hot coals or heating on gas or electric stoves. With no control of the heat of the iron there must have been many cases of singed hair, not to mention burnt fingers and scalps! Modern day styles demand more control and flexibility of hair style with hair looking loose rather than "glued into place". Electrically heated and electronically controlled irons and tongs are now available. The barrels come in varying sizes enabling a tight curl or loose falling curl finish. Some have a smooth easy-glide ceramic barrel to create a super smooth finish and you can also purchase drop curl hair tongs with a cone shaped tong to create loose, tumbling waves and tousled curls. The fluctuation in hair styles from curly to straight and back again means manufacturers will continue to dream up new innovations to attract both professional hair stylists and the consumer.

So who "invented" the Curling Iron? Inevitably you find many references to "invented" and "patented by" or "introduced by". The original inventor is lost in the mists of time but examples of the previous sentence are:

In1866, Hiram Maxim, who designed the machine gun bearing his name, applied for and obtained the first of many patents at age 26 for a hair-Curling Iron.

Four years later in 1890 two Frenchmen, Maurice Lentheric and Marcel Grateau, used hot-air drying and heated curling tongs to make deep, long-lasting Marcel waves.

The Straightening comb however, is actually credited as first being invented by the late 19th century French hairdresser, Marcel Grateau, who also, invented the Curling Iron, the permanent wave and later the Gillette safety razor which became popular in Germany after World War I.

In related developments, Rene Lelievre and Roger Lemoine invented an electric Curling Iron in 1959.

The pressing/Curling Iron was patented by Theora Stephens on October 21, 1980.

In August 1987 the Wahl Clipper Corporation introduced to the professional market the ZeeCurl. This flat-barrel Curling Iron gave stylists a tool to create new hairstyles with Z-shaped curls, adding texture and body to all types of hair. In 1988, FrenZee, the consumer version, was added.

There is little doubt that fashion will demand and dictate new innovations to ensure continuation of the history of the Curling Iron.

  Hair Straightening - A Risky Business?

  
  

  Straightening your hair can be a risk, but luckily science has advanced it to a point where it is much safer. With that said, it is still possible to permanently damage or change your hair's texture and structure. In the past, the risks with straightening hair involved chemical poisoning and burns.

  Hair Straightening Can Be Risky Business

  
  

  Hair is both fragile and strong. Though many people would probably like to think like it has an infinite plasticity that never wears out. In reality your hair can only take so much of styling and reshaping. Each type of hair is genetically determined to feel, look, and manage differently. For years African Americans went to extreme measures within American culture to alter what was part of their natural look. However, hair straightening remains something in the world that people do because they love straight hair and find it to be more manageable.

It is probably best to avoid any type of harsh hair straightening procedure. Some may tell you otherwise since nothing substantial has been proven in regards to dangerous outcomes. Any small chance that your baby is able to absorb the harmful chemical should be taken into consideration.

  Hair Straightener Technology

  
  

  There has been a drastic change with hair straigteners. They use special types of metal plates that use different types of metal, rocks, and heating elements. A gem by the name of tourmaline can be found crushed into the metal plates on high priced Hair Straightener. Tourmaline has negative ions, so it causes your hair to be smoother and lessens fly-aways. Just a few decades ago, women were forced to use their everyday clothes iron to straighten their hair. Now this today's increase in technology and understanding of hair follicles, the hair straightening market has soared.

How to use Curling Iron

Introduction

Sure, most of us are probably familiar with what a Curling Iron is, but if you’ve never used one, then this guide is for you.



Curling Iron are a great hairstyling aid that can add curl, body and bend to the hair when used properly. There are even special Curling Iron that can add spirals and zig zags to your hair. The Curling Iron’s barrel comes in several sizes, small for tight curls and large for bouncy curls.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need

• Curling Iron

Steps

1

Step One

When you use a Curling Iron, the most important thing to remember is your hair must be dry. Using your Curling Iron on wet hair will result in fried-limp hair. If you’re worried about burning your hair even slightly, there are thermal protection products that can help prevent burnt hair.

2

Step Two

If you have short hair, the best way to curl hair is to start at the crown. If you have medium to long hair, it’s better to start at the back of the head.

3

Step Three

To begin, separate hair into 1” to 2” sections and start from the tip of the hair and roll the iron until it is about an inch from the scalp. If you’re worried about burning yourself, slide a comb in between the Curling Iron and your scalp.

4

Step Four

Hold the iron in the hair for about 10 seconds and then carefully open the Curling Iron and release the curl. Continue to repeat this for the remaining sections of hair that you wish to curl. If you’re hair is long, you may want to pin the curl with a bobby pin against the head before doing the rest of your hair.

5

Step Five

Once the curls have cooled, you can use a holding spray to set the look and then unpin and style the curls using your fingers.

How To Use Hair Straightener

Hair Straightener can turn frizzy hair in to a sleek and smooth style in minutes. Watch this short video to see how the experts at Falltricks Academy use a Hair Straightener to best effect.

Step 1:

You will need:

* PHI Hair Straightener

* A comb

* A rounded brush

* heat protective serum

Step 2:

Straighteners

If you will be straightening your hair often, we recommend a PHI Ceramic Straightener. Metal straighteners are a cheaper alternative, but damage easily.

Step 3:

Hair preparation

If you blow dry your hair, angle the hair dryer downwards and brush through while you are drying. A heat protective serum will prevent your hair from becoming damaged by the Hair Straightener.

Step 4:

Straightener preparation

Your Hair Straightener will need some time to heat up - always follow the manufacturer's instructions. Place them on a non-flammable surface while they are heating.

Step 5:

Straightening

Clip most of your hair up, leaving one manageable section. Take part of this and carefully place it in the Hair Straightener. Start at the root, and slowly work your way down. Repeat this action until the hair straightens. Keep working in sections to straighten the rest of your hair. This will take time. Using a comb will ensure the hair is evenly spread in the straightener. Go over the ends of your hair again to disguise the individual sections.

Step 6:

Styling

We recommend using a shine spray or a lock out lotion to maintain the style.
