The day my stylist showed me how to use a flat iron was the happiest hair day of my life. I have been battling frizz and split ends that stick out and weird waviness that makes my hair look bumpy instead of smooth for my whole life. The day she showed me how spending a few minutes sectioning my hair and then ironing each section smooth was a REVELATION.

I made a mistake at first, though. Instead of buying a good quality tourmaline straightening iron like my stylist recommended, I bought a very inexpensive plastic one, and then was frustrated when I wasn’t getting the results I wanted. On my next visit I talked to her about it and saw that spending the money to buy a salon-quality straightening iron was a good investment in my hair. I have a lot more “good hair days” now that I flat iron my hair
