How to go for the "straight look" safely

Today, many women are moving away from that "bone straight" look to the curlier, more natural look which is less damaging to the hair.  However, there are occasions that women want to switch up and go straight.  How can this be done without burning the hair out?

Well, I just got finished reading some interesting information in the Beauty/Hair Q&A in "Ebony" magazine.


According to hair stylist, Craig Carter, of New York, the best way to get a straight "do" is to look for a ceramic plated flat iron that uses the moisture of the hair to seal the follicle and add shine while it straightens.  He further adds that the ideal temperature is about 374 degrees Fahrenheit. And, to avoid damage, pass the iron once per section of hair.  If using regularly, only flat iron the new growth to avoid burning and breakage.
