Product Information

You can avoid this by using smaller sections of hair at a time and tightening your grip on the iron, but the Dyson's unique design helped me stop worrying about this problem altogether. It also meant fewer passes over the same area, reducing the damage done to my hair. Ionic technology: when there’s too much positive charge on each hair strand, they begin to repel each other, making hair static and flyaway. This technology helps to neutralise the charge, smoothing strands down instead. Straighteners are a big investment, so you need to make sure you’ve got all your hair needs covered in one tool before you make the commitment to buy. If you’re not sure what all those buzzwords mean on the side of the box, we’ve simplified them below, so you can figure out what to prioritise. The cord is 2.5 metres long and has a 360°C spin feature, meaning that the cord doesn’t get tangled up in the straightener as you go. This makes using it extremely easy and makes for a perfect hair curling tool. Accessory-wise, this straightener come with a transparent, square heating mat (great if you don’t have fluff on your floor) and a travel bag, so portability isn’t a question. A major issue with the original range of steam straighteners was the fact they would leave your face or ears a bit wet, and the steam could sometimes feel a little hot next to the skin. Revamp’s model doesn’t have either of these flaws because the steam is directed straight onto the plates and over the hair more evenly, and in a more targeted way.

The tools you're using might be an issue, too: "[A brush] that isn’t gentle enough can inflame the scalp and cause hair breakage," Hill explains. She recommends using a boar bristle brush or one that has a mix of plastic and boar’s hair bristles, like Crown Affair's Brush No. 001. There are also some good rubber brushes on the market. "The idea is to stay away from metal brushes, which can be abrasive on hair fiber and scalps." Get some sleep — reallyMesen often recommends fine mists for folks with thin hair, as this type of product prevents the hair from being weighed down. "When it comes to wet hair, a whipped product like a mousse can often give more volume than a gel or volumizing spray due to the light formula and the foamy texture of the product," she adds. Your trusted pair of straighteners should last you between two to three years (depending on how well you look after them). Trichologist and colorist Bridgette Hill with Paul Labrecque Salon and Skincare Spa in New York City explains that with hair breakage, strands are not being lost from the scalp as they are when you experience shedding. But it can still lead to hair loss, thinning, and slow growth. Hair breakage can cause you to lose your hair as it breaks — if the damaged hair strands are not trimmed off, the damage can further spread, causing you to lose more hair. You can differentiate damaged hair from healthy hair as hair that is damaged tends to be shorter with frayed ends.

White quite handy, the heat does seep through leaving the guard hot to the touch, and a mat might be preferable while styling. Healthy hair is, of course, achieved not only with good products. Hydration, vitamins, and a well-balanced diet — you know, all the stuff you usually hear about — help significantly. And of course, sleep. It's not just about getting enough sleep (and yes, breakage can be frightening enough to keep you up at night) but also about how you're sleeping. "Create a signature sleep hairstyle that allows oxygen to flow through the hair to the scalp and prevent tangling and matting in the occipital point of the head while you sleep," Hill suggests. "Twist the hair in large sections, pin curls, or two large braids or plaits. You can be creative — but refrain from ponytails."With over five years’ experience in beauty and health journalism, Florence has written for ELLE, Women’s Fitness, Sister Magazine, National Geographic Traveller and many more, with a strong sustainability angle thread through much of her work.

OK, so the Corrale can straighten my tough curls. But can it curl? It might seem counterintuitive to straighten curly hair and then … curl the straightened hair, but there are a few reasons. a valid NHS certificate for full help with health costs (HC2) – people named on an NHS certificate for partial help with health costs (HC3) may also get help A study from Carnegie Mellon University showed that just 20 minutes of mindful meditation for 14 consecutive days can lower your cortisol levels during stressful times. And speaking of hormones, when you’re about to start your period, your hair becomes less resilient: "The changes in your hormones can thin new hair, and thinner hair is more prone to breaking," says Daliah Wachs, a family practitioner in Las Vegas. "Try to avoid tight hair ties that week, which could put extra stress on the hair." Look for these ingredients in your products The Corrale's biggest change over traditional flat irons is its flexing plates. They curve around the hair, avoiding the splaying out effect that sometimes occurs and leads to uneven heat distribution. In other terms, when you run a traditional flat iron over a section of hair, a few strands of hair from the section can loosen from the plates' grip and are then exposed to the heat without any payoff. Depending on the severity of the damage, it may be time for a haircut. "Nothing, and I mean nothing, can repair the hair after the cortex has been damaged. There are various products and ingredients on the market that can help give the appearance of mending split ends, for example, but nothing can revive a damaged cortex," Kerry E. Yates, CEO of Colour Collective in Dallas, explained. Green confirms this, sharing that, "the cortex of the hair is the inner layer of the hair, [and] hair that is damaged within the cortex cannot be restored. Hair can only be restored from the follicles. Hair that is damaged beyond the follicle needs to be cut to prevent further damage."This mousse is great because it adds body to fine, flat hair without drying it out," says Spino. "It can be used to air-dry or for a blowout." The strong scent may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like floral-musky fragrances, you might find it delightful. Frizzy hair: Ionic technology is a must to stop water and humidity “fluffing up ” your hair and creating more frizz.

Of course, regular heat styling is notoriously bad for your hair. Constantly straightening curly hair or using heat on straight hair are asking breakage to live rent-free on your head. A good protective style, one that's low in tension and works with your natural texture can help prevent that. "The natural hair community is continuously evolving and coming up with more protective styles and products for textured hair — knotless box braids are one of my favorite protective styles," Mabatano-Harris says. "Simple styles that require very little to no heat or less combing are always best for avoiding breakage." To further protect the hair, you may want to consider a heat protectant. Most effective when applied in sections, some of the best formulas include ghd Bodyguard Heat Protect Spray, Kérastase Discipline Keratin Thermique Creme, and Bumble and Bumble Hairdresser’s Invisible Oil Heat/UV Protective Primer.Overall, our favorite product for fine, flat hair is Kérastase Densifique Bodifying Mousse. It's a lightweight stylist-approved foam that adds volume, smooths flyaways, and strengthens hair. For those on a budget, we recommend NatureLab Tokyo Perfect Repair Leave-In Treatment, which comes out as a foam and smooths frizz without adding weight or wetness. Remington’s 'OPTIheat' technology targets heat where your hair most needs it, which delivers genuine long-lasting results and the PRO+ setting keeps the temperature at a responsible 185°C to protect your hair. A fully charged battery lasts only about 30 minutes. That's enough time for Jon Reyman, Dyson’s global styling ambassador, to straighten my hair, but it took me longer to do it myself. You can use it while it’s charging, which does take away from the ease of use, but at least I can do most of the work without fussing with a cable.
