There are many ways to straighten hair. One of the go-to methods is the blowout: a blow dryer and larger round brushes. However, for hair that is already dry or is particularly curly, additional or alternative hair styling tools may be necessary.
Flat irons and heat combs—also called straightening brushes—employ heat to coax the curl out of hair. Hot combs are good at loosening curls, making curly hair wavier. Flat irons, meanwhile, can lead to more pin-straight and sleeker results. Many users with very curly hair like to use both a hot comb and a flat iron in combination to achieve the best results.
Some flat iron designs are versatile in that, with practice at additional techniques, you can use them not only to straighten hair but also to add styled waves, shape bangs or add a flip at the ends of your hair. With the right hair products you can create your own salon experience at home.
