caution to flat ironing wet hair

[mortensgirl]

yeah,so i decided i was goin got try it.my hair wasnt sopping wet,it was like 30 mins after i had washed it.
well,to say the least i didnt think it would be that bad.i think i kind of burnt my scalp with the steam!!!!

.you should have heard me yell.

i turned the blasted thing off and walked out of the bathroom,granted i decided to let my hair dry THEN flat iron,so i'm never doing it again.EVER!!i'm stilla little sore.i only tried it on one little section of hair,so i'm okay.but remember to watch the steam if you do decide to flat iron when wet.*sigh*

I found this info on flat ironing wet hair:

Using hot irons on damp hair seems an easy way to dry and straighten your hair at the same time. It doesn't work: water inside the hair literally boils and can lead to something called 'bubble' hair which results in hair breakage.
