Why isn't my hair straitner getting hot?

Question

Help! My hair straitner will NOT get hot when yesterday it was working perfectly. If it helps...my african american friend was using it does it have something to do with that?

Answer 1

maybe it had a short?

Answer 2

Yes, African American people cause flat irons to break. You should make her buy you a new one.

Answer 3

Check if your electric outlet is working on.

Check to see if the straightener is ON.

Check to see if it's turned up heat-wise, if you have that option on your straightener.

Also, really curly hair can sometimes fk up a straightener :(

That's why they usually last longer on people with less curl in their 'do.

Answer 4

The longer the straightener is on the more of a chance it has to over heat itself. I would buy a new one if:

A) Nothing is wrong the the outlets you use

B) Nothing is wrong with the electrical cord

Buy a ceramic flat iron. Hot Tools Ceramic Professional is a good brand and they last pretty long. I've had mine for 3 years without any problems.
