Wet To Dry Straighteners
Writing by Raechele on Tuesday, 17 of June , 2008 at 7:05 am
Everyone thinks that Wet2Dry straighteners really mean wet to dry. In truth, they don’t. Here’s why.
Just because new advancements in technology allow you to ’straighten your hair while it’s wet’ doesn’t mean you should. Your hair can’t be full on wet, like I-just-got-out-of-the-shower wet, when you straighten your hair with any flat iron. Doing so will damage your hair. You’ll notice something is not right when the texture of your hair feels really brittle. Your hair will look fried beyond belief. Your hair must be at least 90% dry in order to use this straightener. Below are some of the comments people left me on Yahoo! Answers when asked about Wet2Dry straighteners.
I have a CHI and a Wet2Dry straightener by Conair. When im out of town or at a friends im not supposed to bring the CHI cause my Mom uses it. The Wet2Dry are easy to use and makes the time so by faster because you dont have to blowdry. Just make sure your hair is just a little DAMP. - CheerLover101
i personally have not had good luck with the wet2dry ones it may just be my hair texture but they jus ont seem to work - dead_at_dawn
My first wet2dry killed my hair. and it got a little rusty. but my sister got a new version and it works alot better. Its helpful because my hair doesn’t have to be perfectly dry to straighten it. - JellyBeanBabe
Yeah I used my friends once and let me say only once because it absolutely FRIED my hair. When I tried to straighten my damp hair, it came out frizzy and split-ended and awful. Don’t waste your money. It took like five bottles of moisturizing shampoo to get my hair back to normal. - Love Stinks,,,perfume wont help
The opinions for Wet2Dry straighteners are just about even when it comes to negative and positive experiences. Be extremely cautious when choosing a Wet2Dry flat iron. Don’t forget to use heat protection spray!

Actually, I have a wet2dry straightener by Remmington
and it works really well. I apply a protect serum by Matrix when my hair is completely wet, wait till my hair is 60% dry and straighten and it comes out great

That’s pretty interesting. From what I researched, it’s horrible. Now I’m thinking about investing in one, just to test it out for myself. Thanks :]

Just from logic.. have you ever dropped some water onto a hot frying pan? Imagine your hair in that. That’s definatly enough to keep me away from those things.

I have the Wet2Dry straightner by Remington. I don’t EVER use straightners on wet hair. Period. It completely fries your hair. My straightner is less-than-average as a ‘dry’ one. The ends of my hair usually flip out within a couple hours. And my hair feels slightly frizzy.
