To section off your hair, you will need to start at the bottom, or the underside. To do this, pull all of your hair except for a small portion up and secure it with a rubber band or clip. This may cause your hair to crease or have a funny kink in it, but you can get rid of that later. Once your hair is up, you can proceed to style the exposed section with a blow dryer and round brush, curling iron or flat iron. After you have passed through the first section with your styling tool, let down a little more of your hair, or another section. Repeat the styling on this section.

Sectioning off your hair may seem like a lot of work and time consuming, however, it could save you time in the end. By creating smaller sections of hair to work with, your flat iron, curling iron or blow dryer will be able to work with your hair in less time and this will save you time and do less damage to your hair than repeatedly running the same styling tool through your locks over and over again.

Hair straighteners today come with dual voltage, digital thermometers, floating plates and even Fahrenheit/Celsius conversion.  CHI does not.  Although it was once the best in the industry, the CHI hair straightener can no longer compete.  The company sat idly by as other brands researched and improved their product and met the needs of the market.  Oddly enough, CHI flat irons continue to be relatively popular among consumers.  Not necessarily just the CHI original, but the other versions as well.  People are paying for the name, not the product.  The high prices attached to these hair straighteners is only possible because people still think that CHI is as omniscient as it once was.

Before purchasing your next hair straightener, do a little looking online for a product that will actually meet your needs.  Don’t automatically purchase a product because you know the brand name.  Read customer reviews and visit ranking websites to find the flat iron that’s best for you.  With a short warranty and limited features, the CHI hair straightener is probably not it.
