Every beauty girl has at least one hair iron in their bathroom. It’s just something that has become a must have over time for ladies who love looking fabulous all day, every day. For women with textured hair, a straightening iron can be a real blessing. It can give you a sleek look within only minutes. Even for women with naturally straight hair, a hair iron can be a real life saver as well. Did you know, though, that there are several different things you can use your hair iron for? Here are a few that you should try.

  1. Straightening – this is the most basic and most obvious way to use a hair iron and this is what women who want to achieve sleek, straight hair use theirs for. There’s just something about super straight hair that makes women look extra pretty, don’t you think?sleek-straight-hair-zendaya sleek-straight-hair-with-bangs-taylor-swift

  3. Cute crimps – crimping your hair is one of the easiest ways to give it lots of volume but for that, you’ll need a crimper. If you don’t have one, though, don’t worry. You can get the same look using a hair straightening iron instead. Just braid tiny sections of your hair and then run your hair iron through them, unbraid your hair and, voila, crimped tresses!crimped-half-updo crimped-ponytail
