How to Use a Farouk Flat Iron

Farouk makes some of the best and most reliable flat irons money can buy, but once you have your Farouk flat iron, are you sure you know how to use it properly? Mistreating your straightener will lead to a shortened life span, so maintaining it carefully will not only be better for your hair, it will also make the flat iron last longer! Here are some tips:

  • Unless you have a special wet-to-dry model, always make sure your hair is 100% dry before you start straightening.
  • Divide hair into small sections prior to straightening, and don’t linger for more than a few seconds on each section of hair.
  • Always turn off and unplug your Farouk flat iron when not in use.
  • Protect your iron by storing it in a heatproof pouch, and never wrap the cord around the iron itself – this could damage or fray the cord!
  • Clean the plates on your iron, especially if you use heat protective treatments on your hair prior to styling. Make sure the plates are cool before cleaning, and only use non-abrasive cloths and cleaning substances specifically formulated for heat styling tools.

Follow these tips and your Farouk flat iron will be there for you for years to come!
