HOW TO AVOID DANDRUFF WHEN FLAT IRONING

Follow our tips to make sure you get the straight hair you want without unwanted side-effects.

HOW FLAT IRONING CAN DAMAGE YOUR HAIR AND SCALP

It may seem counterintuitive: you use a flat iron to make your hair look great, but in the long run it makes things worse.
