New appliances just smell like that. They need to be plugged in for awhile before the smell of burning goes away. You can also take a moist towel and wipe down the hot plates after you unplug it.How can I get the smell of burnt hair out of my hair straightener?
buy a new one.
well put on some leave on conditioner or oil or something. i recommend highly BioSilk. its amazing!!! also, dont leave the straightener on one part of the hair for a long time or turn down the heat or buy a more quality straightener.
If cleaning it when it's off and not hot with windex does not work, then unfortunately you'll have to buy another straightener.
