10 Common Heat Styling Mistakes (And How to Fix Them)Avoid heat damage with these expert-approved tips |
Mistake No. 4: Pressing too hard or winding too tight If you clamp the hair too tightly inside the hot tool, you'll be left with what is known as demarcation lines in the hair. Not only is this not a good look (unless you're going for an awkward crimp), but it will also leave your hair damaged. "Often people try to fix these lines by going over the hair again with the hot tool, causing even more damage," explains Anita Sun, hairstylist at Eliut Salon in New York City. "It's impossible to fix these demarcation lines unless you re-wet it and dry it again to remove the crease." In other words, this is a tedious mistake to correct.
