How to clean a flat iron hair straightener

by Jen (April 11, 2008)

If you use a flat iron to straighten or smooth your hair and you’ve noticed it’s not working like it used to, that means you need to clean it. Fortunately, this is remarkably simple, whether your iron plates are made of ceramic, tourmaline, or whatever other fancy material they’re using at the moment.

1. Dampen a paper towel.
2. Use it to wipe the plates. You may need to put some scrubbing action into it if there’s baked on crud from styling products and the natural oils of your hair. Go ahead and wipe any crud off the sides of the wand, too.
3. Do this once a week if you don’t use styling products; do it every time you use it if you do.

Following these maintenance steps will keep your flat iron working like new.
