Professional flat irons come with many options. My first attempts were pitiful, because, despite her advice, I bought a cheap unit, with plates that were too large and left weird-looking dents everywhere in my hair.įinally, when I bit the bullet and tried out the best professional blow dryer I could afford, the results were so noteworthy that it convinced me to invest in another one of these professional tools and ditch a whole bunch of other cheapies. So, I began my search for a salon hair straightener, and my new, much more polite, hairdresser suggested I could work some styling magic with a professional flat iron. (I’ve joked about my “dog hair” ever since a stylist off-handedly referred to mine as such.) It’s easier said than done, especially if your mane is thick, curly, and coarse, or more akin to a German Shepherd than Gisele Bündchen. Just once, I’d like all those efforts to actually result in the silky smooth, shiny, straight hair that you see on those shampoo commercials, or those stars strolling Hollywood’s red carpet. With the aid of a two-inch curling iron, and 45 minutes total time, it’s almost right. Other days, I opt for a blowout, and with some fast and hot blow-drying, deft maneuvering of a paddle brush, and a big round brush, I can get it nearly straight. With the right shampoo, enough hair product, and slow diffusing, I can sometimes coax it into almost ringlet-like waves. My hair lies somewhere smack dab in the middle of wavy and frizzy, especially as it gets more silver.
