If you're like most people, you probably don't spend a lot of time thinking about how to clean a straightener. But the fact of the matter is, if you use your hair straightener on a regular basis, it can get pretty dirty! Here are three easy steps to clean your hair straightener and keep it looking and working its best.
Step 1:
Unplug Your Hair Straightener and Allow It to Cool Completely
The first step in cleaning your hair straightener is to unplug it and allow it to cool completely. You don't want to start cleaning while the plates are still hot, as this could damage the ceramic coating. Once the hair straightener is cool, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 2:
Wipe Down the Plates with a Damp Cloth
Once the hair straightener is cool, use a damp cloth to wipe down the plates. Be sure to get all of the gunk and buildup off of the plates. If you have stubborn dirt or grime that won't come off with a damp cloth, you can use a mild abrasive such as baking soda. Just make sure not to use anything too harsh or abrasive, as this could damage the ceramic coating on the plates.
Step 3:
Clean the Base with a Damp Cloth
After you've cleaned the plates, be sure to also clean the base of the hair straightener with a damp cloth. Wipe down any areas that seem dirty or grimy. And that's it! Just three easy steps to clean your hair straightener.
Conclusion:
Taking care of your hair straightener is important if you want it to last for years to come. By following these three simple steps, you can easily keep your hair straightener clean and free of dirt and grime.
