Besides, hair straighteners can be used for more than just straightening your hair.
You can create curls and waves with just a change in technique – it’s amazing how versatile it is! So if you’re not quite convinced yet, keep reading if you need any more reasons why you need a hair straightener!
You can try new and different hairstyles
Step out of your comfort zone and try a new hair style! For someone like me that has had curly hair her whole life, the second I got a hair straightener, I could become a different person with just a few run-throughs of my flat iron! Sometimes having straight hair can make or break the look you’re going for for the day.
Add elegance to your hair
Straight hair looks are often very sleek and sophisticated looking, which may be the hairstyle you’re going for. This tool can do just that! It also helps to make you look more put-together if your natural hair is just not doing it, if you can’t get rid of that bed-head, or if you don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to find the right hair product to get your hair in order. In just a few short minutes your hair straightener can get you all straightened out!
Get in on all the online hair tutorials
Ever wanted to try a hairstyle but didn’t have a hair straightener to achieve it? Just another to add to the reasons why you need a hair straightening! Finally try the cool hair tutorials you watched on the Internet but couldn’t attempt by getting a hair straightener! You can finally imitate a hairstyle that you saw your favorite influencer or celebrity flaunt.
Get rid of frizz
Hair straighteners can be seen as damaging tools because they add extra heat to your hair. Contrary to popular belief, there are hair straighteners made of certain material that prevent frizz, allowing you to get that smooth and sleek look without the damage and frizz! If you’re really worried about the extra damage, you can invest a little extra in some heat protectant spray.
Hair straighteners can do more than straightening
As I mentioned earlier, this hair tool aren’t just for getting a straight hair look. If you twist the straightener as you press the locks in, you can get curls! You can also get waves by holding the straightener sideways and twisting your wrist up and down as you go down sections of your hair, achieving that beautiful beach wave look!
On top of that, you can also use a hair straightener as a flat iron for getting rid of wrinkles on your clothes if you’re in a rush! Talk about an all-rounder of a hair tool.
Straighten and Shine
Hair straighteners are also often made of material that add shine to your hair. Since hair straighteners usually get rid of frizz, they allow the natural shine of your hair to come through.
Learn to love your hair more
By getting a hair straightener, you really learn how to take care of your hair better. Of course, you can’t just use a hair straightener and not expect some damage, especially if you use it excessively.
If used improperly, you can get heat damage, dry hair, and/or frizz. With that in mind, you’ll definitely learn to love your hair a bit more by researching ways to keep it protected.
Skip the salon
Getting a hair straightener is like buying yourself an unlimited number of visits to the salon, all at a fraction of the price! It’s not that hard to straighten your hair on your own and you can save yourself a lot of money by passing on getting your hair straightened at the salon and investing in your own personal experience instead by getting a hair straightener.
Trying bangs
If you’ve always wanted bangs but have bangs and don’t know how to maintain them, a hair straightener is all the reason for you to keep or get them! If you have curly hair, a hair straightener can help keep them from getting unruly. If you already have bangs but they keep getting flat, a hair straightener can bring them to life in just a few minutes!
An arm workout
Not going to lie, especially if you have long, thick, or curly hair, getting a hair straightener is going to take a bit longer than other hair types.
However, it’s not that bad, because you can get a little bit of an upper body workout holding up that hair straightener to your head for 15-20 minutes. Trust me, you’ll feel it once you hit 10 minutes – you’ll want to set your hair straightener down and take a rest!
