Ironing Your Hair in 21st Century Style

In the old days, if you had curly, wavy or frizzy hair, there was only one solution for straightening - and that was to iron your hair. I’m not talking about fancy ceramic flat irons or even old school metal flat irons; no, I’m talking about honest-to-goodness, this-shirt-is-wrinkled, pass-me-the-ironing-board IRONS! It sounds horrifying, but it’s absolutely true: Women used to use these things. ON THEIR HEADS.

Okay, well you couldn’t actually iron your head unless you wanted third degree burns all over your face; the idea was to place your hair on a flat surface and iron away. Still, the entire process was incredibly dangerous, and damaging to your hair to boot. Plus, since you couldn’t actually flat iron the hairs closest to your head, it didn’t look amazing either.

Luckily, there are high quality ceramic flat irons available over the place nowadays! You don’t have to be a rocket scientist (or even a professional hair stylist) to know how to use one, they heat up quickly, and they seal the natural moisture into your hair’s cuticles to prevent dryness, damage and frizz. Hooray for the twenty-first century! We’ve come a long way, babies.  Choose from a CHI flat iron, GHD flat irons, or more!
