Prep hair properly
Once you’ve found the best iron for your hair, the next crucial step is to prepare your hair for the heat. Here’s how:
Prepping fine hair:
1. Wash hair with a lightweight volumizing shampoo and conditioner like Rene Furterer Volumea Volumizing Shampoo, $23.
2. Apply volumizing mousse with built-in heat protection to damp hair, like Nexxus Thermal Volume Volumizing Heat Protection Mousse, $11.99.
3. Blow dry hair with a round brush, lifting at the roots to add volume.
4. Finish by smoothing hair from the mid-shaft to your ends using a natural bristle brush, Moticka says.
