Sectioning Your Hair Will Improve Results With A Flat Iron

July 13th, 2010

When styling your hair, there are a few small tricks to give you flawless results, seven days a week. The simplest of these is to section off your hair, no matter what you are doing to it.  Whether you are blow-drying it or using a flat iron, sectioning off your hair allows you to work with a smaller portion of hair while maximizing your results.

To section off your hair, you will need to start at the bottom, or the underside. To do this, pull all of your hair except for a small portion up and secure it with a rubber band or clip. This may cause your hair to crease or have a funny kink in it, but you can get rid of that later. Once your hair is up, you can proceed to style the exposed section with a blow dryer and round brush, curling iron or flat iron. After you have passed through the first section with your styling tool, let down a little more of your hair, or another section. Repeat the styling on this section.  Repeat this until you have gotten through all of your hair.

To maximize your results even more, work with even smaller section if you’re working to create tight spiral curls with your flat iron. This is the same if you are using a curling iron to create tight curls as well. If you want looser curls with either tool, use bigger sections.

Sectioning off your hair may seem like a lot of work and time consuming, however, it could save you time in the end.  By creating smaller sections of hair to work with, your flat iron, curling iron or blow dryer will be able to work with your hair in less time and this will save you time and do less damage to your hair than repeatedly running the same styling tool through your locks over and over again.

This hair sectioning process is an easy way to instantly improve your styling results.  In the long run, it will save you time and also keep your locks damage free.

July 11th, 2010

In The End of Fashion, Wall Street Journal reporter Teri Agins astutely explores this seminal change, laying bare all aspects of the fashion industry from manufacturing, retailing, and licensing to image making and financing. Here as well are fascinating insider vignettes that show Donna Karan fighting with financiers, the rivalry between Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, and the commitment to haute couture that sent Isaac Mizrahi’s business spiraling.
