Alright, so you know how there are things you spray in your hair before you straighten it to protect it from the heat? Like, the products that come in spray bottles (VO5 miracle mist, tresemme heat tamer, etc.) Well, the directions say that you should spray it in your hair before you straighten it; but my question is, should I let the spray dry? Because the directions say nothing about letting product dry and then straightening it, but when I don't let it dry and I straighten my hair, it makes a sizzling sound and it gets all smoky and stuff and I've heard before that you're not supposed to straighten your hair while it's wet or it will get fried. So yeah, is straightening my hair while the product is in okay, or should I just let it dry? Thanks.

You're right, straightening damp hair can cause damage over time so just use a little, it will last longer as well.
Hope that helps, good luck. [ isis's advice column | Ask isis A Question ]

When i first started using it on my wet hair it steamed and sizzled but i read in the manual and it said that it is normal. But since yours isnt made for wet hair i would wait for it to dry a little bit more. I use 'textureline. hot style ironing creme' It doesnt make your hair wet or anything when you put it on so the iron wont sizzle or steam. It works great.
