- Hi, I'm Kris Sorbie, a professional hair dresser. Today, I'm going to share with you how to use a ceramic iron and not fry your hair. We'll need some clips, a tail comb, hair brush, ceramic iron, and some heat-protecting spray. So, I've brushed through the hair, took a section out in that nape area and clipped the rest up. Now it's time to put in our product, and what we're going to be using today is Iron Silk 07 from Redken. So, from a distance, apply a light spray, comb through, and then, I'm going to be holding it like a ribbon between my fingers. So, I put the iron in, but without clamping down on it too hard, I'm going to place the comb underneath. And just kind of alternate with the comb and with the ceramic iron as I run my way down the hair. And, I'm not really being very strong on the clamping. You're not hearing any, any of that, and that's important. Take the next section down, and work in a really thin section so that the heat can penetrate, and you don't have to go back and redo that section. So, pick it up. Do a light spray of the Iron Silk. Hold it like a ribbon between the fingers. Insert the iron, and then put the comb in front of the iron, so as you're running down the hair, the comb is releasing any knots that might be in the hair. And, very lightly, all the way down to the very ends. So, another thin section, right across the back of the head, and it's really good to work from the bottom upwards, versus the other way around. So, pick up your section, spray with product to protect it from the heat. And this time, because it's pretty wide across the head, I'm going to split that into two sections so that it's within the width of the plates of the ceramic iron. And a ceramic iron is much kinder to the hair than an iron that has metal plates. And what you're seeing is maybe a little bit of steam as the product evaporates. That's a good thing because it means you're not frying the hair. If your hair is not in 100 percent condition, a ceramic iron is really the best choice for your hair, if it's been color-treated or processed, or just naturally dry. So, with Madeline's hair, her hair is natural, until we get to the ends, where you can see that they're lighter. So, they would've been bleached, and when you get to those ends, or when you're going over hair that has been color-treated, it's a really good idea to just try to do one pass with the iron and not go over and over it. 'Cause it's, you would just be drying out, and you're actually not making it any smoother or straighter. It's just overheating the hair. So, we've finished Madeline's hair with the ceramic iron, now smoothing it out. And, you can see, it's really perfect for her face to have that very heavy fringe right into her eyes. It's very now. So, just one additional tip, it's to do with the temperature of your ceramic iron. If you have an iron that you can control in that respect, then make sure you don't go over 325 if your hair is color processed, especially if it's blonde. And, if it's really healthy, than you can happily go up to 450 degrees. So, that's how you use a ceramic iron and not fry hair. I'm Kris Sorbie, and I thank you for watching.
