Tips on how to keep my hair straightener in great shape?

hi i just bought a new Solia straightener and it was $88 so i wanna make sure it will stay in good shape and last for atleast over a year..hopefully more than one. what are some ways to keep it in great condition to ensure it wont break or get damaged?Tips on how to keep my hair straightener in great shape?
My suggestion is to avoid using gels, hair sprays, or wet hair ( even if its a wet to dry straightener ) on it. Doing that will make the heated places on the straightener all textured like sandpaper and it will split your hair.





Clean your hair straightener after usage by the end of the day. Un-plugged, most definitely. Wipes that aren't soaked in the cleaner, like wet ones, will clean off the hair product residue and the dead hair.





Consider buying a mat to lay your straightener down when its not being used so the hair straightener doesn't pickup on any bacteria or germs. Also keep it in a place you know it'll be safe, but quick to find. Like a cabinet under the sink.








Anymore Q's you have?

NEVER forget to turn it off. And once a week, put a little rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball and gently wipe down the plates. Most hair straighteners are self cleaning though. Oh, and never make it go to the highest temperature, so for example, if it says it can go up to 430, only set it at 410. I've had the same straightener for 3 years. Still works like new!
This is how i keep my hair really healthy and smooth...i condition it like 2 or 3 times in the shower and the first time i do it i let it sit in my hair for like 5 mins and then do that two more times hope this helps :)
i got mine like a year ago.


i would flat iron my hair everydayy


my sister said i would make it open n close to hard


but whatever....recently the cermamic part that gets hard broke =[





lol dont do that!
keep it in the box after you're done using it. sorry that's all i know. i dont use them. lol


thanks for answering mine. yeah wake forest in winston salem
Try to keep it in a safe place where nobody knows where it's at. Get s flatiron cover to so it won't get scratched up that much
silicon serum and deep condition your hair before you do it.


Oh! and dont use it wet hair or blowdry it.
Just use it like you normally would... put it away when you're done.


It was only $88, so it doesn't really matter if it breaks quickly, though....
Do not leave it on for long periods of time and unplugg it when you are not using it
try not to accidently leave it on for hours and remember to turn it off, thats how my moms broke
