Choosing the Right Size Flat Iron For Your Hair Type
Have you ever heard of the term, “size matters?” Well that is definitely the case when purchasing a flat iron. Size does matter when you want your hair to look the prettiest and healthiest.
Flat irons come in many different sizes. This should help you decided what size flat iron you need before purchasing one. It also depends on

your hair type in to which size flat iron to get. The longer and thicker the hair you have, the bigger the iron surface you want on the flat iron since it will speed up the straightening process (in addition to your skills and experience using straighteners). One inch irons are the most common, which are good for thin to medium thickness and short to medium lengths. Two inch models are best suited to those with long, thick, curly hair. Note that if you want a flat iron to be used for styling besides straightening, a narrower iron is best because it is more manageable. Finally, don’t bother with travel size models. There aren’t many on the market that have proven to produce the same results as those of full-sized models, whether they are of professional or consumer grade.

Benefits of Negative Ions in a Hair Dryer
Hotness Ionic Hair Dryer
We’ve all heard of ionic hair dryers. But many people are left wondering what exactly does that mean, and what are the benefits of using them?
ionic hair dryers emit molecules with a positive or negative charge to dry hair. Instead of taking the air from a room and heating it like old-school hair dryers, ionic products use negative ions to shrink water droplets in the hair. This helps wet hair dry faster with less heat damage, thus making for a smoother and shinier mane.
With the negative ions being emitted or put out by the hair dryer, this produces several things. These are more benefits to using an ionic hair dryers:
*Hair is three times more smooth and silky than using conventional straighteners
*Negative ions cut straightening time in half

How to Style Side Swept Bangs
With side bangs, or fringe, becoming quite popular I wanted to give some quick tips on how to style side swept bangs because even I know it takes getting used to, especially if you have never had bangs before.
- Have your hairstylist cut your bangs so that they sit right below your brows.
- Create a deep side part and using a flat brush, brush your bangs downwards as you blow dry them holding your hair dryer directly above your fringe.
- Make sure to point your hair dryer downwards as you blow dry.
- If you find your side swept bangs don’t lay flat go over them with your flat iron. This will also help remove frizz and smooth them out.
- You may wish to use a light spray of flexible hold hairspray to keep bangs in place. To keep bangs soft looking, spray your hairbrush lightly with hairspray and gently go over your bangs in the direction in which you want them to lay.
