As with the little black dress, the flat iron has become many a girl’s best friend. This nifty device has taken hairstyles from drab to cover ready hair. The excessive/ daily use of silicone and a flat iron causes the cuticles in your hair to seal. A layer of resistance against any shampoo or artificial colour treatment is formed – leaving hair looking synthetic and fluffy. To avoid damage, detox hair weekly with a clarifying shampoo. Use a light heat-protectant Kerastase  cream and be sure to flat iron at a temperature below 200°C. Use your flat iron to “touch up” your hair once a week or at a push, every other day – avoid daily use at all cost.

Too much of a good thing can be bad
