Testing Your Hair Iron Temperature Setting

Many girls hear about how curling irons and hair straighteners can scorch their hair if the temperature is set too high. Of course the big question for many is what temperature is too high? An easy way to find out if your hair styling iron is set too high is to use some slightly moistened tissue paper in the iron for a few seconds. If the paper gets scorched then turn down the heat on your iron and try again. Of course some hair types can take higher temps such as thicker hair while others like fine hair need lower temps. But the tissue paper test will get you in the ballpark so that you do not damage your locks experimenting with settings on your own hair.
