I also am a hairstylist,and have curly hair. Just another tip, keep your comb in front of the iron. I never put my comb down.😊

[@antoniosnyder6192]

Omg same but I prefer to use a brush idk why lol

[@myumbrellav.4488]

Finally! After a million videos and stylist, finally find someone I really like. Thank you.

[@jlieb7815]

Really like the way you speak and explain everything.

[@anavaldesuso8607]

I love your hair tutorials Kate I learned to flat iron and curl my hair with your videos!!! Thank you.

[@amandah1891]

I have super super thick long hair. My suggestion is also to use silk drops or some kind of smoothing cream before you flat iron instead of constantly combing through it. It will give tons of shine and help with frizz throughout the day. I get compliments every day on my hair.

[@queenofthehousehold]

This was so practical and helpful. thank you!

[@carrolle7101]

Thanks for this video, you must have read my mind this morning! UPDATE: I did everything you told me to do with my flatiron (a cheapo) and my hair finally turned out good today. I've been fighting with flat ironing it, and am always in a hurry and trying to iron huge chunks. It didn't take me as much time as I thought it would to get ready, by just following your steps and taking smaller chunks. I am so thankful for this video!

[@shelleydee]

I needed this flat iron lesson sooooo bad! I’ve been doing it so wrong. Thank you!❤️🙋🏼‍♀️

[@simt1973]

Wow, this is extra helpful ...what great tips, especially about the bend and giving volume from the roots!! Thank you so much!!

[@kmelliott61]

Smita Thekkepat I agree!!

[@LadyNash91]

Very very helpful thank you ! You explain everything so detailed and demonstrate for first timers like me! You definitely just gained a new subscriber 😁🤗

[@so_cal_mom]

Thanks for the great information! I learned a lot. Can’t wait to try out your technique.

[@cindyfuller3917]

This was sooooo helpful for me! Thank you so much! ❤

[@gumdropgirl1]

Great video-thx! I’m making lots of mistakes! Gonna give the flat iron another go👯‍♀️

[@Joelswinger34]

I was making all of those mistakes! Thank you for the tips!

[@k.d.j9020]

This was SO helpful! Thank you!!!

[@kimstacy5292]

I cannot say thank you enough!!!! I was doing half of what you shared. But wow!!!

[@DouceVipere]

I was subscribed to your channel ages ago, it was my go to for hair help, then it disappeared from my feed. I couldn't remember the name of the channel, so it disappeared completely. Now I was browsing some hair stuff and it popped up and to my surprise, it didn't come up as subscribed. So now I'm back in and hopefully KZbin won't "unsubscribe" me against my will again.

[@DH-qz2so]

me too....disappeared from my feed as well...and then I remembered the name of the channel....and looked it back up on KZbin...I am still subscribed and on the alerts as well...so don't know why it went away either!

[@Defiantsnow]

Great tips. I am one that makes some of the mistakes you mentioned. Will have this in mind tomorrow.

[@cynthiamartin1631]

Thank you so much for this, very helpful!

[@ErikaHamilton1]

Simple but Very helpful video. Thank you

[@ReesieRoo1]

Love this! Thank you for going into details and examples of products to use 😃

[@stevdaughtr6098]

This was so helpful to me. Thank you for showing the correct way. I have watched a few on the subject and I was glad no backcombing was involved.. bc it would only produce frizz no matter how many attempts I had made or products I had tried on my wavy hair. Time to section and do it properly. I enjoy your make up tutorials as well as product recommendations. You have recommended several winners for me. Really glad I kept on watching as each video came out. Your content is very helpful to a 40 something who realized its time to start learning. Sincere thanks!!

[@OhhhJane]

Loved this video! I love the tips! I’m really bad at sectioning, so now I see why it’s so important!

[@AliF-zx8sk]

To get a smoother look run the comb right in front of the iron, do it together. Comb in front and flat iron right behind it.

[@laurieh.6508]

Exactly

[@sherrydropauer1518]

You are a fantastic teacher! This was excellent. I’m new at rhis

[@ritagregg2421]

Hi Kate, great video. I Love My GHD flat iron. I’ve had three and they’ve quit working right about 2 years. This is perfect timing because I’ve been asking myself “which would Kate recommend” I know you like GHD, too. My GHD just quit last week. I’m going to try the T3. I have thick frizzy hair.

[@kathya4160]

Thankyou for your awesome info I will try your technique now I’ll be more confident cause my hair always gets frizzy

[@laurahanson5179]

That was helpful! Thank you!

[@nataliah4478]

amazing as always thank you Kate

[@michelleweatherspoon8087]

This was very helpful for me because I struggle with face framing and lift. Thank you

[@critty]

I loved this video!!! Loved it!

[@leadmetopeacejeanie]

Thank you so much! Yes, I am doing it all wrong! I needed this! Love, Jeanie

[@all_the_good_names_are_gon68]

The mistakes: - Not using a heat protector (cream or spray) on damp hair before blow drying/straightening. Try to also take a break from heating generally. - Not sectioning (note: her hair was first split into 3 major sections: top, and bottom left and right. Bottom left and right were then each split into 3 smaller sections. Top was then split into right, back and left, with the right and left being split each into 3 smaller sections. Make sure that each section is not thick enough that the heat can fully penetrate it. Also, after finishing from the bottom major sections, clamp them instead of putting them in a ponytail) - Not adjusting the temperature of the flat iron - Not combing out hair before flat ironing it (note: she flat irons each section only once by going through it slowly) Tip: ironing each section towards the top direction will create volume as opposed to leaving it flat.

[@sandraflowers5551]

Love this, thanks for the tips...

[@themainescratcher476]

I was making most of them!!!!😂😂 you hair is beautiful!!!

[@krisbuffalomn9335]

PHENOMENAL job explaining mistakes and how to 10:51 I have been so frustrated with my hair, and not understanding what im doing wrong. Many have worked for me, and NOT kmow why....NOW I UNDERSTAND. i would always section & comb through or pullling to hard or too fast. i see you have listed a "mistakes blow drying. I'm headed next, then wash my hair again, and let's get this party started!!-

[@cherylhand8426]

Great video!! I was definitely making some of the mistakes you mentioned. Going to try to flat iron my hair right now!! 😊 Quick question: Can you tell me what heat protectants you recommend? Thank you!!

[@skyracer7878]

What a great idea to iron UP instead of down! I could see the lift! Im going to have to try this!

[@andromedav.884]

Great tips! Your hair looks beautiful!Thank you! 🙏

[@chantalsurjoobhalee177]

Thank you, this would work on my hair 🙏🏼💕

[@ericagiannantonio8820]

Helpful as always... Love the dark roots also by the way!

[@SueB402]

Thank you for sharing your helpful tips and tricks. My question is how to flat iron a side bang that is about half the length of yours? Do you pull it straight down or angle it to the side? Thanks Kate 💕

[@toniajaneveazeycassetta7941]

Thank you for this video...will you please do a video on how to flat iron with loose curls and waves?

[@slp-je3hm]

Very helpful video. Can you do one about curling iron mistakes, please?

[@TraceyPoland]

I really enjoy your videos, it might be nice to see you work on a curly/wavy hair to curl it or straighten it the way you do yours. Maybe you have a gal pal that you can borrow. :)

[@pattallant2398]

Great help thanks!

[@holleybooth1180]

My hair is thin and frizzy. Stylists asked me if I brush it, no I only comb. Anyway, I bought a house with well water and my hair is in such better shape now and so much softer and less frizzy.

[@kathymish2820]

I love your videos and wanted to know what your thoughts were on the Tyme curling iron. I am on the fence with getting this because it is expensive. I'm sure either my curling iron or flat iron can do the same as the Tyme but would love your thoughts.

[@lisaallen1658]

Great job❗ Thanks

[@Kindlyone777]

Will you please do a vid on favorite heat protectants for flat ironing

[@loraoliver1516]

Thank you for this. 😊

[@mrsmac10]

So good!! Would love a video for curling iron mistakes, why your curl may not be lasting., help;))

[@flyersgirl929]

Super helpful!

[@Cashmere4500]

Super, super helpful!!!! 👍

[@aprilrawls5162]

I have thick course naturally curly hair and the T3 is the best hair dryer ever made...it literally leaves my hair straight..without using a flat iron. But i think im gonna purchase a T3 flat iron after seeing this! T3's are a little pricey but so so worth it!

[@NancySquierLEssentialSkincare]

Thank you!❤️

[@HildeAzul]

Great tips!!!

[@sepiounupe8859]

Your hair is sooooo beautiful 😍😍😍 I honestly wish I had straight hair

[@sueblack5794]

She is great stylist but her hair doesn’t at all look healthy. It looks fried and dyed.

[@oceanlawnlove8109]

Sorry, but she's absolutely everything. So real and no fake character. Loove

[@jencastillohair]

These are great times everyone should know!

[@carolynreynolds4999]

Lol flat ironing straight hair is so different than curly/frizzy hair. Talk about sections ...... let's divide that section by five, then five more!

[@avem7677]

Truth! Also, allow yourself an extra half hour and just when you think you're good to go you check out the back and.....aargh

[@kimberlybellefontaine1215]

Right ??? Mine takes forEVER .... and it still isn’t really “straight” ..😕

[@bristolgriggs4576]

Yea.. when I saw her with " blow dried" hair.. I thought it was already straightened. Curly/wavy hair after being blow dried, still looks like we stuck our finger in an electrical outlet 😂🤣 can spend forever doing it. If its humid or gets one drop of water.. I'M FUCKED!!

[@anne9576]

Easy with thick straight hair why don’t they ever show fine frizzy curly hair videos that most of us have 😒

[@storytimewithmegan3617]

I’m so excited.

[@dawngrimes7361]

Cool, yes I brush mine straight down in the front

[@juliespady8467]

Thank you!

[@robynhillier4002]

One section of your hair is my whole head of hair...fine thin hair girl life 😫😞

[@evesyiem6160]

I can totally relate 😢

[@rebaseymour1810]

Thanks. Yep, I was making one of the mistake. I won’t be doing that anymore 🤦‍♀️

[@OrdinaryWhimsy101]

Did you cut your own hair? If so, how would you describe your cut to a stylist? It’s so cute!

[@vanessawaters7847]

ur hair looks so amazing! hugs, vanessa

[@MysticalMoonBaby80]

I love your hair it's gorgeous. I'm currently growing out my hair which is at the end of my earlobe. It's a bob how long would it take to get my hair to that length?

[@DH-qz2so]

"under a $100 for sure.." Me: "under $20 for sure!..."

[@debracasey4732]

Thank you so much learned from my mistakes lol

[@bobbietheeveningstitcher6841]

Man...I was doing everything wrong..LOL!! Thanks for the tutorial...I can't wait to "try" and flat iron tomorrow morning!

[@hherroyal05]

What do you do when you have stubborn cowlicks? I have one on my crown, in the back of my head - and while the rest of my hair straightens well with my BioIonic 10x - it takes several passes to smooth it.

[@brandihawthorne7268]

My head kandy straightening brush is awesome. I have to use 450° I got some think naturally curling hair

[@ANGELBABY_57]

WOW :) I LOVE THIS CHICK SHE IS GOOD WITH HER HAIR!

[@josiieize2.051]

Me too!!

[@deborahdesanto2313]

You are very pretty and your hair looks beautiful, all I bottom of my hair i get frizz mostly the bottom I don't know why. Can I get rid of it?

[@antoniosnyder6192]

I like to use my brush and chase it with the flat iron and it works perfectly

[@SA-ni7vl]

Great video to watch if you want to fall asleep!!!!😴😴😴😴

Hot damn, 2 simple tweaks and I can’t believe the difference!

[@pretty95138]

Very helpful tutorial! I am going for a haircut next Sat. Could you let me know if you have layers? my hair length is the same as yours.

[@windyannemathers1914]

Your so nice and pretty. Thank you for posting. I found it very helpful

[@nicolestroh1581]

Hello my favorite YT Hair Guru!!! What do you recommend to help with static? I have color treated, shoulder length, fine, thin, straight hair that I wash every other day and straight iron on Day 2. The static this winter on day 2 is making me bananas! Thanks for your input (or anyone with any suggestions). Thanks for all you hair tutorials...old and new, I love them all!!! -Signed Hair Envy From KS 😉

[@amberstephens6444]

I'm in Nebraska, so I definitely understand the static problem! What I do is spray my brush or comb with hairspray and comb it through. It works well and helps all day. You can also use a dryer sheet and pull your hair through it in sections. But the scent can be strong and doesn't always go away. But it works!

[@uncleleo1873]

Enlightening.

[@ashleyn381]

I have been wanting to buy a new straightener but cant afford the T3. Do you have any other ones that you can recommend at different price points?

I only wash my hair once a week and I use John Frieda Frizz ease. But I do straighten almost daily.

[@AllisonFranck]

2 years later, and I still occasionally think about your blow drying video:: "Turn the heat down to medium. See where life takes you..."

[@Izzy-dl9nw]

Allison Franck 😂I watched that video today and then did just that with my dryer turned it to medium 😂

[@nataliah4478]

i just watched that video this weekend! trying to blow dry my hair with a round brush (failed miserably lol)

[@melissanoble1621]

I definitely make some of those mistakes. Where I get hung up is doing the back of my hair. What if I want to curl it? I can't see back there and my goodness how do I get arms there🤣.

[@HappyCheli]

Can you do this same video for curling wand? Or direct me to a video of yours?

[@madams.5976]

Kate, I don’t flat iron but I do blow dry about three to four days a week. I’m currently looking for a new blow dryer. Can you tell me what you recommend. I’ve been looking at the L'ange, but really don’t know much about that brand. Can you please help.

[@Swati-tx1ml]

Loved the video! Which Kerestase heat protection have you shown in the video?

[@K8_smallthings]

[@MultiDonna7]

Great tips! For those of us who have actual temperature settings on our flat iron, what temp would you advise to use on fine hair? Thanks!

[@K8_smallthings]

Donna Schwab start on the lowest heat setting and work your way up from there!

[@ninjago1666]

Hi! Have you ever tried TYME hair curler? I am desperate for something easy and a curl that will last. Is this product worth the money?? I’ve also checked out Lang air tools.. i am a total tomboy and have never been good at doing hair.. but i do want to look pretty!!!

[@lvlc5]

What temperature is that setting of 3?

[@shannondollie]

Lol @ everyone her hair is straight already yeah, but the ends are a lil frizzy...shes going for that smooth silky finish

[@Pocketpebbledesigns]

I have a pump protectant (chi iron guard). Do I need to let each dry before ironing or can I run thru right after spraying each section? Also, what’s a good temp for fine hair? Thx.

[@CWdudeyo]

Deb Beroff I “chi”, then blow dry, then flatiron.

[@neethukjoy1274]

❤Thanks

[@KimberlyAnne88]

What is your hair cut called? Or is the a specific way it's cut? I really love the ends especially.

[@evamarie29]

Is it okay to use flat iron after wetting hair with protectant product? The hair sizzling sound seems scary.
