Professional Hair Straightening Tips with Titanium Hair Straightener

A professional hair straightener with titanium plates is one of the most versatile technologies and the best way to straighten frizzy hair by professionals. This is because:

• It comes with ultra-fast heat conduction for quick styling

• It offers consistent temperature across the plates

• It is ideal for thick, coarse or curly hair

• It provides a sleek, glossy finish in just a few passes

Step-by-Step: How to Straighten Hair Using a Titanium Hair Straightener

Here’s a detailed hair straightening guide using the Vega Professional Pro-Shyne Slim Titanium Hair Straightener for enhanced shine:

1. Start with Clean, Dry Hair
Always straighten hair that is washed and then fully dry to prevent heat damage.

2. Apply a Heat Protectant
A heat protection spray or serum creates a barrier between the hair and high temperatures of the straighteners.

3. Section Your Hair Properly

Divide hair into small, manageable sections using our tail comb and lock the sections to ensure even straightening with Carbon Section Clips that are highly durable, heat-resistant, light weight and easy to use.

4. Set the Right Temperature

The titanium straightener comes with an Adjustable Temperature Settings from 110°C to 230°C to offers professionals the ease to style all hair types with utmost convenience:

• Fine hair: 110–130°C

• Normal hair: 150–200°C

• Thick or coarse hair: 210–230°C

5. Glide Hair and Don’t Clamp
Move the straightener smoothly 1 inch away from the roots to the ends in one steady motion. Repeat only if required.

6. Finish with a Lightweight Serum
Use a lightweight hair serum to enhance shine and seal the cuticle. 

Hair Straightening Tips with a Hair Dryer & Hot Curl Brush

If your clients prefer a more natural and voluminous straight look, combine a hair dryer with a hot curl brush for a gorgeous finish. Vega Professional hair dryers with nozzles offer concentrated airflow to the targeted areas for precise styling. It is also ideal to effectively control static and frizz in hair and achieve:

• Smoothness with a natural movement

• Less direct heat than flat irons

• Stunning finish with volume for fine to medium hair

Step-by-Step: How to Straighten Hair Using a Hair Dryer & Hot Curl Brush

1. Wash and Towel-Dry Hair

Ensure that you wash your clients’ hair and towel dry it till the hair is damp and not dripping wet. Apply a smoothing cream or serum post towel drying hair. 

2. Section the Hair
Divide the hair into manageable sections to ensure every strand gets evenly dried and straightened easily.

3. Use the Right Brush Size

Choosing the right brush size as per the hair length and type makes a huge difference. For your clients with long hair, use the Ceramix Shine 43mm Thermal Brush and for short to medium hair, use the smaller sized hot curl brushes from our range. These anti-static ionic brushes feature Tourmaline Ceramic Coated Barrel that offers even heat distribution when used with a hair dryer.

4. Direct Heat Downwards
Aim the hair dryer nozzle downward while pulling the hair brush through the hair.

5. Use Tension
Gently stretch the hair with the brush as you dry for smoother results.

6. Cool Shot to Set Hair
Finish each section with a cool air from the cool shot button to lock in shine.
