Brazilian straightening is a popular styling technique for achieving smooth, shiny hair for a long time.
However, to succeed in your Brazilian straightening, it is important to have the right equipment.
In this article, we will present the key elements to take into account when choosing the ideal equipment for your Brazilian straightening.
The hair straightener, a key element for Brazilian straightening
The hair straightener is the main tool for achieving a Brazilian straightening. It is therefore important to choose it carefully according to your needs and preferences. Here are some key elements to consider when choosing your hair straightener:
- Convenience: Choose a hair straightener that is easy to use and handle, and that suits your needs and styling style. A hair straightener with convenient features, such as an LCD display or an ergonomic handle, can save you time and make use more enjoyable.
- Quality: Invest in a quality hair straightener for long-lasting results and better protection of your hair. A ceramic or titanium hair straightener, for example, is generally more efficient and less aggressive for the hair than a plastic hair straightener.
- Temperature: Choose a hair straightener that is right for your hair type and temperature needs. If you have fine or damaged hair, opt for a hair straightener with a moderate temperature (between 150 and 180°C). If you have thick or unruly hair, a hair straightener with a high temperature (between 180 and 230°C) may be more suitable.
- Plate width: a plate width adapted to the length of your locks will allow you to obtain an even straightening. If you have long hair, opt for wider plates (over 3 cm), which will allow you to straighten large locks of hair in one go. If you have short or medium-length hair, thinner plates (between 1.5 and 3 cm) will be sufficient.
- Heating technologies: opt for a hair straightener with advanced heating technologies, such as infrared or ionic, for quality straightening. These technologies allow for more targeted heating that is less aggressive for the hair, while providing a long-lasting and shiny result.
Brazilian straightening products: choosing quality products
Here are some things to consider when choosing your Brazilian straightening products:
-
Nourishment: Opt for products that deeply nourish the hair and protect it from the heat of the flat iron. Products based on vegetable oils or keratin can be very effective in nourishing and protecting the hair.
-
Protection: Choose products that protect hair from heat and external aggressions, such as wind or pollution. Products with a UV protection factor or antioxidant ingredients can be particularly useful.
-
Duration: Opt for products that help extend the life of your Brazilian straightening treatment. Products that strengthen the hair fiber and fight frizz can be very helpful in keeping hair smooth and shiny for longer.
Useful accessories for Brazilian straightening
Brazilian straightening can be made easier by using the right accessories. Here are some examples of useful accessories to accompany your Brazilian straightening:
-
Hair Straighteners: Hair straighteners are very useful tools for holding hair in place while straightening. They allow you to straighten your hair more precisely and reduce the risk of burns.
-
Styling gloves: Styling gloves are essential to protect your hands from the heat of the flat iron. Opt for gloves made of natural fibers or silicone, which allow you to handle the flat iron safely.
-
Heat-resistant pouches: Heat-resistant pouches are ideal for carrying your hair straightener without the risk of burns. They also protect your hair straightener from dust and moisture.
-
Smoothing serums: Smoothing serums are products that instantly smooth hair and reduce frizz. They are particularly useful for maintaining Brazilian straightening between sessions.
