    Yes you can try.but its difficult to do ourself. We can't do perfectly to our hair. So u can try with your family member. I tried once. My hubby did it. It came perfectly. I loved it. We done it by watching videos only

    You can do it.... it should be a good quality straightner .... you can use heat protection before straightening.....u can do yourself by partitioning hairs.... it 's easy.

    You can also straight your hair with blow drier also... videos are there on youtube.... hope this helps.

    I learnt by looking at karminhairtools.com/advice there are 2 pages for you to choose which one you want. My daughter & I both have a G3 Salon Pro Hair Styling iron, she uses hers to straighten her hair and I use mine to curl my hair.

    Does the hair need to be wet if we want to straighten via dryer or hair straightener?
    How often can we straighten?

    Dear @ivlakshmi,

    Your hair needs to be dry to use the straightener. Make sure you use a heat protectant available in the market before you straighten. Phillips has very good straighteners.

    Thanks for liking my post - I missed the bit of your thread where you mentioned you were also looking for a hair dryer. The one I have is the Salon Series Ultralight Professional Ionic hair dryer also made by Karmin. My hairdresser here in the UK has been using this brand for quite some time with no problems at all.

    Did you find the advice and how to's on the website helpful?
