When heat-treating hair, the most important choice is the temperature regime, which will allow you to achieve the desired result without risking it. Thinner hair requires less temperature for processing, thicker and wavy hair - more. GA specialists. MA Professional, drawing on its many years of experience, has developed recommendations for temperature selection, which can be seen below:

• thin, weak hair - 140 ° С;
• normal hair - 180 ° C;
• wavy hair - 200 ° C;
• thick, curly hair - 230 ° С.

In addition to temperature factors, the condition of the hair is undoubtedly influenced by mechanical effects during heat treatment. The floating fasteners of the heating plates implemented in most of the brand's models will help here, which adapt to the treated strand and reduce the load on the hair, Soft Touch technology, which ensures the easiest sliding of the working surfaces of the tool.

By minimizing the negative temperature and mechanical effects on the hair, is it possible to somehow take care of its condition? Yes, you can, the brand's products provide the following technologies: tourmaline coating of heating plates, which releases ions (negatively charged particles) directly in the contact area of ​​work surfaces and hair. Ion Plus technology, which further enhances the release of anti-static ions, activates the scalp and hair cuticles for a beneficial effect.

The generally accepted recommendations will help you to use the straightening irons correctly:

• before starting styling, set the required temperature regime corresponding to the type of hair;
• start laying or straightening after the plates are completely warmed up;
• Pick up the bulk of the hair with a barrette;
• separate small strands from the hair one by one and treat them with an iron;
• grab a strand at some distance from the scalp;
• when straightening, do not hold the tongs in one place for a long time - the hair is dry, and it can form a hall;
• iron it evenly and not too fast.
