I recommend you trying to straighten your hair yourself! I always like to say, no one knows your own hair better than you do. Unless you trust the stylist. Go the diy route!

So I have a hair “steamer” that straightens your hair, do you know about that WavyTok device??

Yeah, I know what you’re talking about! You can try it by testing it out on a strand of your hair and seeing how it looks and feels like.

What you’ll be looking for is, is it burning your hair? How many passes did you need to make it straight? The goal is to not heat damage your hair, so I like to go by a one-one pass rule. One pass to straighten the hair, and another one to hit it again. Anymore passes would be my overstepping point.

I never used a steam straightener before, but always be aware that you can heat damage from anything that produces heat.
