Hairbusters: Straightener On Wet Hair

Hi everybody I'm Victoria, Thurman ha and today on hair Busters, we're gon na do something that you professionals, probably cringed when you saw, but it's all over the internet and that is a flatiron on wet hair and we're gon na say approval or busted. Before we get into using a flat iron on wet hair, let's take a look and examine healthy hair in my hands. I have healthy hair and I have a microscope come on in we're gon na, take a look and see if we can find some healthy cuticle. Okay, I'm gon na move this around, but on all of the strands that you see, you can see beautiful iridescent. You can see the cortex. You can see a healthy cuticle Lane very smooth and flat onto the hair everywhere. I go great condition here, so porosity condition. All phenomenal okay, so if this is healthy and this is wet hair and a flatiron going on it, let's see what happens. Listen to that sizzle, I wonder what its gon na look like underneath a microscope. I know you're looking forward to seeing underneath a microscope. What happens when you have wet hair and a flat iron, but before we do that, I wanted to show you color treated hair and what can happen with the color prior to looking at the microscope. I'Ve wet a small section and I'm actually gon na flat iron. It, but I want to talk a little bit about the reasons why people think it's okay to do it. They think it might be a time-saver. The hair is flattened and dried all in one shot. Well, when we keep going through this, you can already see there's a dramatic color change as I'm running my flat iron through so as I'm going through it. Is it really saving me time if my colors going? Oh there's a nice spot if the color is going down the drain or out in the air and the quality of the hair will see underneath the microscope. But it's not a time, save guys to have flat hair and damaged hair. It'S time to look underneath the microscope to see what we've got all right. So what I'm gon na show you right now is part of a cortex cell that has come out of the hair itself. As you know, the cuticles job is to protect. What'S on the inside, it can't very well do that if the cortex is now hanging out outside of the cuticle, I just found a beautiful singed area where the cuticle is puffed up, and not only is it puffed up and singed, but the cortex cell is popped Right out of the hair itself, so instead of the cuticle doing its job and protecting the cortex, the cortex is on the outside and the cuticles on the inside. Oh, this is not good, and we know this. One is busted guys, I'm not even gon na go into it. We know we saw the damage, it's not even worth know doing it onto hair, and I have to tell you the entire room that is around me right now. There'S six other people in the room. We'Re all holding our noses and gagging, because the smell is absolutely horrific. I know you know what the smell is. So, just imagine that's what we're all dealing with and we only did it a few times your customers are doing at home a lot of times, so that was just one image that you're the images that you were seeing. That was just one time of wet and a flatiron. So how can you help your clients with preventing it blow dry? The hair first take and use heat protection, make sure that they're using a good flat iron guys ghd's science is amazing for help and protect color. As well as the integrity of the hair, if they want flat, if they want straight, why not guide them to a perfect tool so for me guys make sure that they're using the right tools and you're using the right tools, you
