The Secret to Straightening African American Hair...

I have the secret to straightening African American hair without using all those nasty chemicals…and it comes straight from the First Lady herself, Michelle Obama! Are you ready for this? The secret to smooth, shiny, silky black hair is….ceramic flat irons! It’s true! Mrs. O’s stylist, Johnny Wright, swears by ceramic flat irons for two reasons: First, they are far less damaging to delicate hair than flat irons with metal plates. But in addition to that, ceramic flat irons also reach a much higher temperature than standard styling irons; in fact, they can get as hot as 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit. You need all that heat if you want to make your hair behave without a chemical straightener. And just look at Mrs. O! It definitely works for her. She looks absolutely gorgeous, and her hair is not chemically treated. Try it out for yourself! Just don’t forget to spray on a thermal protectant and make sure your hair is completely dry before you start styling.
