Hair straighteners seem like simple devices on the surface, but it’s easy to get yourself into a disaster because of them!

So, the next time you pick up those straighteners and get to work, keep the following potential disasters in mind. ​

Fire Hazard

Poor Quality

You don’t need to look far in order to be consumed by articles telling you that hair straighteners are dangerous! The reasons for this are obvious. It only takes around fifteen minutes for them to reach levels of heat that could easily start a fire. If that doesn’t happen, you could still end up with serious burns that require hospital treatment. When you’re using your straighteners, treat them seriously. You don’t want to end up with a disaster like this.

Excessive Dryness

When your hair is excessively dry, straightening it will only make the situation that much worse. The natural moisture of your hair will start to disappear. This will lead to your hair looking dull and dry every time you go out. The way in which you straighten you hair is important, as is the conditions you do it in. When you’re in the shower, think carefully about the type of shampoo and conditioner you’re using, too.

Allergic Reactions

If you’re visiting a stylist, you need to be careful. Some of the hair straightening products they use contain chemicals that some people are allergic to. Suddenly, you’ll be left with a red and itchy scalp that will drive you crazy. You can’t always guard against this, so the best thing you can do is to find a reputable stylist in the local area. As long as the professionals are doing everything they can to protect you against harmful chemicals, that’s all you can ask for. ​
There are loads of hair straighteners on the market, and you can’t always be sure that you’re buying good quality products. Some of them are dirt cheap and actually pose a risk to your health with the way they’re made. The only way to ensure you’re buying something of quality is to look at reviews at places like Hair Straightener Studio. Then, you can peruse through a list of the best ones on the market, helping to make that decision even easier.

Heat Damage

You have to be careful when using heat with hair straighteners. It’s important to make sure you don’t burn your hair; a burning smell isn’t a good sign! However, setting the temperature too cool isn’t a good idea either, and can damage your hair just as much. The best way to ensure you protect against heat damage is to find a setting somewhere in the middle. You might want to divert away from this depending on the look you’re going for, but don’t go too radical.

I bet you didn’t realize how many disasters could be caused by hair straighteners, huh?! Let’s be honest; a lot of these ‘disasters’ are easily preventable. And yet, we still see a lot of media reports about them, especially in the case of fire and skin burns.
