Straight Hair without a Flat Iron: Women Over 50

STOP using a flat iron! STRAIGHTEN your hair with THIS instead! The TYMO RING hair straightening brush is impressive! I've used a LOT of flat irons in my career as a hairstylist but this straightening comb surprised me! If you want to know how to straighten your hair or what flat iron you should use...watch THIS video! I walk through exactly what they TYMO RING hair straightening comb is, how it functions and how to use it to get the best results. During the hands on test, my model had never used the TYMO RING before and she was shocked how quick and easy it straightened her hair! This is one of the best tools for straightening your hair IMO. If you're looking for a TYMO RING review, I've gotcha covered!

Curious, have you ever used a straightening comb?

Not a comb but a brush from l'ange, what is the price?

[@janetlevengood8668]

Never used one

[@Missy4112]

Yes, and they’ve never worked as well as a flat iron. But they were brushes. Maybe a comb would work better.

Love her hair! It's like mine. I rarely straighten my hair, but if I do, I just use my curling iron, just hold it straight and don't turn it and it works fine. Of course, I've got a big curling iron for my type of hair, so the surface area for using it to straighten out hair is a lot larger than most irons.

[@angels_in_velvet]

I hate straightening my hair. I just wear a ponytail or bun because it takes too long. This actually looks promising. I hate using hair irons because they break my hair off. I'm going to try this.

I am known for being impatient with my hair. But I was impressed with the accessories like the glove. Really well thought out. That said I have the TYMO air brush, find it super easy to use and love the results. Overall, I think TYMO makes quality products.

[@carolsayers6961]

I think you are an amazing stylist 😊

[@debbiecs1964]

I’m so intrigued by this hair tool. I can use it for my hair but I also have bangs so I don’t know if it will make my bangs flat if I use this instead of a blow dryer with round brush. It’s how I straighten all my hair and also my bangs.

[@judymartell8475]

Pretty awesome... and for the price, you can't go wrong.

[@stephb3321]

Hmmm, this was interesting. My stylist showed me how to “straighten” my hair using a paddle brush. However, I have to also use my blow dryer, which makes my arms ache after a bit. Might give this a try. Looks much easier!

[@justinhickox]

Exactly! And if you don’t use the blow dryer and paddle brush correctly, it can actually be pretty damaging to your hair! Surprisingly, even more damaging than flat irons or hot combs like this. You wouldn’t think so, but I’ve seen it in the salon.

[@JulesUS8386]

Btw, when first straight irons came out, there was no temp control, no instruction on use so you didn’t go slow down the hair causing damage. If you don’t use heat protecting product these will not only fry your hair, but cause breakage, and in some cases flatten each hair shaft FLAT LIKE A RIBBON!! Yep it can. I’m lucky with natural wavy hair. I use curl cream with heat protectant after washing and diffuser which only takes about 15-20 min and I’m out the door.

[@justinhickox]

Absolutely true. I’d add that even today, unless people seek out how to use hot tools correctly, they’re still not shown in most cases. I also agree about the heat protection. Definitely a good idea whenever using heat.

[@nickym5002]

Living in the tropics is hell for my wavy, stubborn grey hair. I’ve tried sooo many anti-humidity products with the blow dryer and iron with no success….back to frizz in no time 😢. This looks like it might be worth a try. 🤞🏽

[@justinhickox]

It’s definitely worth a try. Also, have you tried drying and straightening your hair outside or with a window open? That can help with the frizz if you’re planning on being out in the humidity all day. Part of the reason your hair becomes frizzy and humidity is due to your hairs, moisture level, trying to balance out with the humidity.

It definitely could. You can also try drying and styling your hair outside or in a room with the window open (if you plan on spending a lot of time outside in the humidity). Drying your hair in the same environment as you plan on spending your time will help combat the frizz when your hair tries to balance its moisture with its environment.

[@justinhickox]

Hey! Great question. It’s tough to say without seeing your hair. I can definitely say that having a good shape (meaning the layers cut correctly) will really help with the drying process. If there’s enough curl in your hair to get it enhanced through the cut (and potentially evened out to create the illusion of a more even curl pattern across your entire head) you could have a shape that would allow you to air dry lit if needed. This is still all a guess with seeing your hair though.

To a certain extent but it’s a bit harder to get the bend than a traditional flat iron. In 100% transparency, I didn’t try using it for that so I could be wrong. You’d just need to get the tension (which could be done by grabbing your ends like I showed in the video) but I still think a traditional iron would likely be a bit easier for this.
