HOW TO AVOID DANDRUFF WHEN FLAT IRONING

But in those who do suffer from dandruff, the damage to your scalp that excess heat can cause could harm your scalp and potentially trigger a flare up.
Follow our tips to make sure you get the straight hair you want without unwanted side-effects.
HOW FLAT IRONING CAN DAMAGE YOUR HAIR AND SCALP
It may seem counterintuitive: you use a flat iron to make your hair look great, but in the long run it makes things worse.
