1. CRANKING UP THE HEAT - ALL THE WAY

You don't need to turn your irons up to their max temperature this will only over heat and dry finer hair types.
 

2. FORGETTING PROTECTION

Not enough people use heat/thermal protectors. Lattouf recommend KMS FreeShape Hot Flex Spray to protect your hair and keep a flexable style longer.
 

3. RUNNING OVER (AND OVER AND OVER) CURLS

Instread of going over and over your hair and leaving it dry and damaged. Get hair as straight as possible before ironing by stretching out each section with a brush. Then slide the iron slowly and steadily in a single pass. Don't stop and go, or you'll get horizontal lines.
 

4. GOING BOARD STRAIGHT

Instead of ironing hair straight, parallel to your face, move your arm in a C shape as you proceed down the hair, and bend the ends under.

If you hear a sizzling sound or see steam, well...it ain't good.
 
 

6. THINKING BIGGER IS BETTER

Some think that the larger the iron the better, this is not always the case. Instead choose a straightener with ceramic or tourmaline plates that are an inch wide.
