[0JustLikeYou0]

Does anyone know which products like this I can use to clean my straightener?

[jessie245]

@0JustLikeYou0 Rubbing alcohol, nail polish remover, a damp cloth (hot water, and make sure u rinse out excess water).

[xDitsDonna]

[mishmashpie]

Wow, thanks a lot for the tips!

I'm buying a new flat iron, and these tips would be really useful for the long run!

[mishmashpie]

Just a question: what kind of heat protector do you use? I don't really know what to buy, so I'm asking for your help guys.

[xhollister24x]

i use tresemme, you can get it at any drugstore. it works great(:

[simranoverthere]

lol. i have that. its so much easier to use wen wet than drying your hair or waiting fr it to dry then straightening.

[CmPunkLoverForever]

I learned a couple things from this.

[jininjahh]

can we just use a damp cloth to clean the iron? or is it better to by that special cleaning product for the iron?

[imaginegirl5]

I just use rubbing alcohol and a cotton pad, and just a paper towel to dry it and it works fine for me :)

[nowaycup]

I just take a really damp cloth and wipe the plates gently. Sometimes if there is a lot of gunk on the plates, I would scrub water and cloth until it is smooth. I dry it gently and just put it down later. I dont think you need an iron cleaner unless it is REALLY dirty.

[syalilin]

can i use flat iron after i wet my hair use regular shampoo and conditioner and then not use anything at all before i use flat iron??!please tell me!!

[xluvsanya]

u can straict ur hair when they r wet but u need to check the straighter introduction book if it says u can use it on wet hair then it is ok

[AmandasMakeup]

oh no definatly not!!! most flat irons are for dry hair and if you try to flat iron it while it is wet it will fry your hair not to mention that they team that it will generate can scortch your scalp. blow dry your hair or wait for it to dr completley before you do it. also you should apply a heat protectant on your hair first.

ps there are a few irons that are wet to dry irons but it will clearly tell you that is what it is intended for. i have heard that these irons do not work well.

[mishmashpie]

Yeah. I had a flat iron before that should be used when your hair is damp. I like it better if I use my flat iron with dry hair.

[lindelocks]

nope nope you really shouldnt..Flat irons are meant to be used on dry hair not wet or even damp hair is risky

[stillmeadowsrdrx]

this is so helpful!

whenever I was finished using my flat iron I would wrap the cord around the iron :/ I'm getting a CHI this Chirstmas, so that was a very helpful tip.(:

--kendall

[tsinoisullieht]

wow, i thought this was very helpful. i should have watched it earlier.

when my corioliss cools down, i usually wrap the cord around it. no wonder it's broken. awh. oh well, i'm planning to get a sedu(2008) soon. i hope it works good.

[scorpion2354]

Oh My God, you don't need to clean it!Hair isn't dirty and I never use hair products before using my irons...!It would be stupid to spend money to buy an iron cleaner!

[FABCHiCK13]

i know right

all i do is get a wipey..hahaha

[music1fan11]

Well like i use heat protection stuff, its a good idea to use it.

[xLovexIsxRebornx]

crap i always wrap the cowrd around the iron and leave it on the carpet when its hot xD

[BilliePiper22]

So do I but my flat iron's fine. It has no build up because when I use my curler or my flat iron I don't use any product. I use after to keep the look in place for a couple of hours of days.

[RedHotChiliChik]

i do too.i think thats why mine randomly stopped working.

:-(

the plugs all screwed up...

anyone know how to fix this?!

[PinkFabKittenCupCake]
