Going straight

[tvordlj]

Since i've had this new hair style, a bit longer, with bangs, the stylist always uses a straightening iron on it. I've not bothered to get one until now. I've finally bitten the bullet, as it were. One of the things that annoyed me about this style is that my bangs would curl instead of stay straight, and the ends would curl as well, being tucked behind my ears. Not so much the day i would wash and dry it but the next day and i didn't want to have to wash it every single day if it doesn't need it, which it usually doesn't. I decided to try the iron. That way, if it's a bit curly on the ends in the morning, i can just heat up the straightener and give it a touch up. This morning is the first time i've used it, on freshly washed hair. Seemed ok. I didn't burn myself, and it did a decent job. The heat controls are hard to see though, being on the inside between the two "arms". Without reading glasses i can't see the numbers on the settings but i just put it on what looks to be half way and can adjust from there. Why they didn't put it on the outside of the thing, i don't know. The arms shadow it too so you're holding it in an awkward position to get the light on it. *sigh* aging eyes!

I'm not really that adept at styling my own hair like some people are. I have always gone for styles that were no or minimum messing about required unless for a special occasion and then, my efforts are only reasonably successful. My hair has a wave in it and generally doesn't want to do what i want it to do. not for long anyway. Let's hope this straightener iron will tame the curly ends that annoy me.

Is it difficult for a "lefty" to curl your hair? (if you wanted to curl or style it that is).
