We have received this question more than once, so we have decided to answer it here. Bottom line is that you can flat iron wet hair, but you absolutely should not do it unless you are using a wet dry flat iron made to take on wet hair. Using a standard flat iron on wet hair can potentially cause damage to your hair follicles, drying them out, damaging the strands, causing frizzy hair and give you unhealthy looking hair. It can also do some serious damage to the flat iron itself and lead to poor performance of the iron.
Wet hair is very delicate and vulnerable meaning it’s subject to more breakage and damage then when it’s dry. Using a very hot iron will damage and fry your hair because of the intense heat required to stay on the wet hair to make it dry. There are a few wet to dry flat irons that you can use that use a lower temperature that won’t damage hair, but its best to use a quality iron, like the solia flat iron and use it on dry hair to acheive that beautiful hair you want.
If you are looking for a way to avoid additional damage like blow drying hair, then flat ironing hair- its best to let hair air dry after the shower and then take the flat iron over it once its dry or about 95% dry. Once dry or nearly dry start ironing one small section of hair at a time. This will lead to perfectly smooth, straight hair and the look that you want.
