Why are people saying that using a mannequin is useless? He is showing techniques which should work for all hair. The results here don't matter, its about techniques. So what difference does it make if the hair is straight. Don't people at least blow dry straight prior to flat ironing if their hair isn't naturally straight? So you'd be starting with straight-ish hair, no?

[@NockaMama]

Absolutely but people look for something to complain about

[@lindseyahern6084]

[@79951]

these are the small things that nobody tells ! i saw so many people making diagonal sections but was never explained why so i always end up taking the horizontal straight sections. Thanks a lot for the video ! Also it will be great if you guys make some hair straightener tricks for shoulder length hair. I never see a proper video for it. please do it... !

[@emmareyes7459]

I think it might give the hair the appearance of one giant parenthesis (imagine the hairs all making a parenthesis behind her head), which makes it look better than a giant straight up and down line of hair so to speak. You'll notice most actresses have that wave hairstyle and it looks amazing. Woman are naturally curvy and mimicking that shape with hair certainly makes the hair blend in perfectly with everything else.

Thank you for sharing! I see so many clients with iron damage its awful! the worst are the younger ones that come in and they go over the sides of their hair 15 times with the iron on 450 :(

[@samvillahair]

Those are common mistakes -- sections that are too large and irons that are too hot! Color molecules become damaged over 392 degrees. Hotter isn't always better - it's about teaching our guests to take smaller sections, turn down the heat, use tension (a comb or brush) and slow down! Thanks for your comment!

[@bethsturgis6777]

Sam Villa Hair Tutorials So hair that's been dyed will fade more quickly if I'm straightening over 392 degrees? I just dyed my hair for the first time and I usually straighten at 450 :/

[@elibjo01]

Vincent Balducci I use 450 but my hair is really thick, coarse and not easily straightened. It is really healthy, I NEVER go over more than two times with that high heat and only straighten once a week and also I only wash my hair once a week.

Long thick bouncy hair does not relate to fine or thin hair. I have the same problem and finally got a style that is easy to care for and makes my hair look much thicker. I got an inverted asymetrical bob with a stacked back.. A bob is a style that anybody looks good in.

[@EliteXtasy]

I don't want short hair. I prefer to keep my long hair, hence why I said that I want thick long bouncy hair.

What is the best practice for flat ironing the back of your own head?

[@thereverend801]

Katie D. I used to teach my clients to just pull the hair over their shoulder and iron what they could reach since you usually don't see much of the hair closer to the scalp when the hair is down. Once you get to the top crown area, then you can tip your head forward and get a little closer on the top where you can see more of the hair

[@unicornspirts3124]

[@peepeepoopoo7182]

Use 2 mirrors-one facing you the back of your head and another to look into so you can see

The cup Rapmon throws in the Run MV this is the best advice. or get your man to do it for you, lol! for some reason, my bf is happy to help me dye my hair (esp back of my head) but he despises helping me straighten the back. probably because it's such a pain in the ass to do, especially when you're not sure what the hell you're doing...

[@leonorametsi1126]

well done guys.. I really appreciate all these videos you make for us.. they have really helped me allot..

[@NativeNYerChicHK]

Sometimes I rather bigger section because I don’t want all pin straight hair, it loses volume that’s way. I really just want a bit of a quick polished look sometimes, especially if I’m short on time. So my secret to that is to do bigger sectioning for the majority underneath and then do the thinner sectioning on the top visual areas of the hair so that’s a really polished appearance but I haven’t lost all the volume in whole head of hair. If that makes sense? Also I ALWAYS only flat iron with the aid of a clamping comb (like the HerStyler) to pull it all taught while I’m dragging the straightener down my hair so no funky crimps are being ironed in. That also helps to spread the section out nicely, a very uniform straightened pass. And even if the center of my bigger sections aren’t getting direct heat, they’re still being held taught while any heat is being applied, it still helps somewhat to work some wonky waves out of that center of the bigger section. Cannot straighten without my clamping comb now, I won’t even bother trying anymore, it just never looks as good as when I use my clamping comb. The results just aren’t near the same as what I’m not used to seeing now. And because it does such a great job as an aid to straightening my hair, the style stays longer too!

[@annadelatorre7519]

When some one has very heavy straight hair and shiny, how do you keep the curls to stay for the whole day. The curls just lasted an hour then they began to Droop. The client came in with wet hair that she was washed at home

[@sabariaz1111]

Anna De La Torre. Yup! I also wanna know this.

[@unicornspirts3124]

Anna De La Torre try clipping them in as soon as u curl it and open the curls when fully cooled (use Bobby pins n pin them to the scalp) using a flat iron for curling it helps it more to slay curly Ps my hair is the same as u described

[@elibjo01]

Use less conditioner, less oil or none at all, less heat protectant spray, a non heavy hairspray, clip it up while hot - there are holding sprays out there that you can put in before curling it, also clean the curling iron because of buildup of products that can be on it. Let the hair cool down before you let it out, if the hair is fine you may have to use different methods but those methods works for my thick pin straight hair

[@nicolenunya984]

Have a magical day I agree with what u said and curling iron curls (marcel) last longer than flat iron curls imo. Roller set curls would probably be the best thing

[@janinedear-barlow]

Hairspray! Moose works too. Make sure to clip them up as you go and let them cool! Apparently it can take around 25 minutes for the hair to fully cool in the middle. You can also texturise the hair first with a small crimper and then curl it. That what they say to do on here but I haven't tried that tip.

[@Kparso01]

I kind of wish they would've used a curlier haired teaching head because it would've made more sense instead of a straight haired one. However other than that this was a great video!

Awesome tips! Thanks a lot! Had a question. How can I make my iron straightened hair last longer than 20 mins? I have thick coarse dry curly hair.

[@bethw6027]

Tanzina Tasneem It might take a really really long time. And look up a lot of other peoples curly to straight routines to get the right moisturizing products. But it’s best to start with really clean hair and while it’s still wet you blow dry comb it to be as straight as possible. (I know this ends in a frizz ball mess lol) so then you put in a little more heat protectant, Make sure it’s brushed all the way through and section off your hair so you only deal with a little at a time. Starting from the bottom of your head working your way up to the crown make sure your roots are good to go and straighten small sections of hair at a time. Repeat this all over your head until you’ve gotten all of it done and spray some shine serum in a brush and gently work it through your hair (mainly the ends) and then don’t get it wet or so crazy stuff with it and it should last a day or two. On the second day you might have to re-straighten some pieces but over all it should at least last a whole day. It take Foooooorever though so keep that in mind when doing it for that sleek straight look. My hairs just past my rib age and it’s got a less intense curly fuzzy wave to it and it’s at least a 2-3 hour process on average for me if I’m straightening my own hair. So best of luck! Hope that helps

Hey Elaine, sorry to say but it's probably just something to practice. As long as the comb is heat resistant (which our combs are), you should be able to hold the comb right against the iron which will help. www.samvilla.com/products/hair-combs

I'm about to buy a hair iron. Currently, my hair is thin, but healthy, and I have quite a lot of hair. I love my hair, but it can be a pain to work with. It's thin and slippery, making it difficult to style when It's long. So, yesterday, I got a shoulder-length haircut which I am IN LOVE with, and I intend to keep it like that, so I am looking to purchase a hair iron online. I did some research, and I have already made my own, DIY heat protectant out of natural essential oils since commercial ones are pretty darn expensive... (If any of you want the link, I'll give it to you)

[@mrs_d3n1mx28]

Rhiannn :3 I always wondered if it was possible to make a DIY heat protection spray-- I don't have the budget right now to buy any sort of haircare products beyond shampoo and conditioner. I use coconut oil to condition overnight about once a month, and occasionally I'll wash with baking soda and/or vinegar to strip all the gunk out of my hair. I'd love to hear more about what essential oils you're using!
