Hair straighteners and curlers are our go-to tools when we want to look our best. However, it’s crucial not to overlook the importance of cleaning these devices for reasons we’ll discuss below.
Hair plays a significant role in the image we project. Some believe that even if your outfit and makeup are lacking, a perfect hairstyle can save the day. You can judge that for yourself. Nevertheless, maintaining beautiful hair is both pleasant and stylish. And there’s no mystery here: caring for your hair involves more than just the products you purchase—it also means taking care of your styling tools!
Let me share my experience. Just a few months ago, I underestimated the importance of this task. After cleaning my straightener for the first time, I noticed a difference: it moved through my hair much more smoothly! I encourage you to try it for yourself.
So, what are the risks if you don’t clean your straightener? “By skipping this step, the first issue is that it can damage the device’s function. Indeed, the plates might become less efficient,” explains Caroline Bitu, a hair and makeup artist. Moreover, she points out that poorly cleaned areas can harm your hair due to product residue. This residue can also cause uneven heat distribution along your hair.
To optimally clean your devices, Caroline Bitu recommends using a washable disc, moistening it with a spray bottle of water (tap water is fine), and wiping the plates once they have cooled down. This can be done after every use, or every two to three uses. For a thorough cleaning, she substitutes water with 70/90% alcohol. The frequency of this deep cleaning depends of course on how often you use the device. If it’s a daily tool, consider cleaning it once a week.
In conclusion, if you feel the need to replace your straightener or curler, perhaps a simple wipe-down might restore its full performance!
