Alright i'm a guy i tried to straighten my hair for the first time and it didnt quite go so well. one thing is i totally dont know how to do it. i used my mom's and it was clip on type thingy. i noticed it gets warm and then really hot to help straighten my hair. so do i put my hair between the hot metal bar and clip and how long do i keep my hair between it? i want my hair to be straight going down my forehead andi dont want it to curl up or in any other direction just straight down because lateron when my hair gets longer im gonna have an Emo hairstyle. so basically im a simple guy asking a simple question on how you straighten your hair. girls you can tell me every bit of detail on how you do this stuff and guys that straighten their hair tell me some tips. lol

You also want to straighten your hair in sections, not all at once. Go slowly down from root to tip. Don't hold your straightener in one place for too long.

When you plug the straightener in, it will get hot but if it's too hot, you can turn down the heat. All you have to do is put pieces of your hair between the metal bars and go down. You don't have to hold it or anything but go slowly so it straightenes better. It's simple :] [ Teza's advice column | Ask Teza A Question ]

Its supposed to get hot so your hair gets straight and stays until you wash your hair. What you do is you grab a small section of your hair and you might wanna comb the section first. Then you take the straightener and put your hair between the two plates. Close the plates and slowly move it all the way down. Then your hair should be straight.
