Flat Iron Smells like Burning

Have you tried cleaning the plates?  There is probably a build up of old styling products and other general dirt on them - this is probably smouldering and causing the unpleasant smell when you use them.

Take a sponge, (like you would use to wash dishes), moisten it, make sure your straighteners are stone cold and not plugged in, then rub the moist sponge firmly over each of the plates.  You can rinse out the sponge and repeat this a few times.  Then pat off the water with a towel and leave them to dry off naturally in the air.

You should notice an improvement the next time that you use them.

Definitely try this before forking out for new straighteners!  Good luck.

p.s. you must definitely use a heat-protective product on your hair before straightening - it won't eliminate the damage, but it will reduce it.  If you don't use one, then it probably is your hair that is burning.  EEK!

There is a L'Or

Oh I'm really pleased that you are happy!

If you clean your straightening iron regularly in future, you should get a better finished effect (and also the iron will last longer).  Enjoy...!

If your hair feels sticky, you might be using too much of the product or you might have a build-up of products in your hair that you haven't washed out properly: next time  you wash, try shampooing twice and really rinsing thoroughly before applying conditioner and then any styling products.  Then use the L'Or
