Do you want to use the flat iron to get a perfect smooth while maintaining the health of the threads? So know it's possible! This depends on how you prepare your hair, i.e. the product you used before the flat iron. It is important that it protects the hair from damage caused by the heat of the tool, which, when used in excess and without protection, can cause hair breakage and dryness. But don't worry, you will understand everything you need to keep your hair beautiful and healthy.

Fica Diva will show you what to put on your hair before using a flat iron. In addition, we will also take common questions about it. Check it out!

Products with thermal protection are ideal before using a flat iron

That's right, diva, all you need to do is use a product that has thermal protection in the formula! This action is responsible for protecting the hair, reducing heat damage from the flat iron. During the use of the device, the high temperature opens the cuticles and promotes the loss of proteins and mass, resulting in damaged and porous hair.

If you apply the heat protectant the right way before flat ironing, the damage will be minimized to maintain the health of the strands. Amazing, huh? The antipyretic action can be found in various textures and types, such as combing cream, leave-in, oil, spray and serum.

What can I use in place of the thermal protector?

Diva, one thing you need to understand is: the thermal protector is a specific product to shield the wires against heat damage, but other products can also have thermal protection in the formula. In this sense, a great way to replace the thermal protector is to use a styling cream that has thermal protection.

In addition to detangling easily, adding shine, softness and controlling frizz, the combing cream also protects the hair against heat, pollution and the sun thanks to its anti-pollution action and UV filter. All in one product, which makes it a great option to optimize your hair routine!

A good option to have an impeccable smooth is to use the combing cream from the Liso Pleno line, by Niely Gold, before using the flat iron. The formula with thermal water and hibiscus flower extract reduces oiliness and hydrates, ensuring loose, hydrated and shiny hair.

But if you have straight hair and want to maintain the effect with the flat iron, a great bet is the combing cream from the Powerful Post-Chemical line, developed especially for chemically treated hair. The argan oil and protein load in the composition help rebuild damaged strands while the product shields the locks against heat.

How to prepare hair for flat ironing at home?

Before using a flat iron, it is worth paying attention to hair preparation, from washing to choosing products. So that your hair doesn't get greasy, a good tip is to use the complete Liso Pleno line, which reduces scalp oiliness. Want to know how to hydrate your hair before flat ironing?

Then see the step by step on how to prepare your hair to make a flat iron at home:

Step 1: Apply the shampoo to the roots of wet hair, massage into the scalp and rinse. Repeat the procedure if necessary;

Step 2: With damp hair, apply the conditioner to lengths and ends. Let it act for 2 minutes and rinse.

Step 3: To hydrate your hair, use a moisturizing treatment cream on the lengths and ends and massage strand by strand. Let it act for 3 to 5 minutes and then rinse.

Step 4: Apply the combing cream with thermal protection to the lengths and ends of damp hair and dry the strands with a hairdryer;

Step 5: When dry, use the flat iron and finish with the hair silicone on the lengths and ends to give shine and softness.

Can you oil your hair before flat ironing?

Hair oil is a great product to hydrate, nourish and give softness and shine to the hair. But the best way to use this finisher is after the flat iron to finish with a lot of shine and silkiness! Just apply a small amount to the length and ends of the hair or, if you prefer, just to the tips.

Does every finisher have thermal protection?

Not every finisher has thermal protection, diva. It is important that you read the ingredients and actions that the product offers. If you do not find thermal protection, anti-thermal action or other terms that indicate this protection, the product does not protect the hair from the flat iron. Stay tuned!

Are thermal protection and UV filter the same thing?

Not! The two aim to protect the hair, but against different agents. While the thermal protection shields the strands against damage caused by the heat of thermal tools, the UV filter protects the hair from the sun's rays. There is also an anti-pollution action, which shields the hair against pollution, and an anti-frizz action, which aligns frizzy strands.
