Any good hair straightening and curling techniques?

Whenever we are going out (and in my country, we get invited to lots of parties almost every night) and I always mess up my hair with the curling iron or burn my scalp/forehead with it and same goes to the flat iron, any tips and techniques to get me to do it the right way?

I have waist-long wavy hair with broken or as you call then split -ends .

thanks in advance :)

Get out of the shower, and put some sort of blowdrying/straightening stuff in your hair. Then blow dry before it dries itself. Brush as you blowdry, and for the last 10 mins or so blow dry your hair upside down. This should get most of the curl out. Then use your straightener for the pieces that need a little extra love. It is essential that you get your hair ALL THE WAY dry with the blowdryer. This keeps it from waving up as it finishes drying!

also.... get the bottom 2 inches or so cut off your hair. Getting rid of the split ends will make your hair much more manageable....... AND.... it doesn't actually make your hair grow faster... but it keeps it from breaking higher and higher up and will seem to you that it is growing faster.

I always do this aned for some reason it works. I have a little less than waist length hair too. If you have really good coordination, you should get a comb and put it in front of your straightener. It gets it extremely straight and soft. Make sure you put it in front, otherwise you can burn your comb.

If you must straighten your hair daily, make sure you protect your hair. :]

What I do is buy some straightening cream (I use sun silk) so after a shower put it on a comb and spread it all over and comb threw your hair and then blowdry your hair with a round brush and you hair will be straight. and then for curly/wavy hair after you get out of the shower brush your hair and then get the hair drier and scrunch your hair into little balls in your hands and blow dry them untill your hair is dry (put you head upside down too!)

A good cruling technique is scruncing!If your hair has a slight natural bend, wave or natural curl, follow these steps.

Shampoo and condition with products formulated to improve your hair's texture and flexibility.

Towel dry your hair so that it is damp, not dripping.

Apply a firm hold styling aid from the root area to the ends. Hair Gel or Glaze is usually better for heavy hair and Styling Foam or Mousse usually works for fine hair. You may have to experiment to see which works for you.

To dry your hair, you will either use a diffuser or let it dry naturally. Either way, you must be patient to not rush the drying process.
