When I straighten my hair it makes a kind of ripping sound sometimes.What does that mean?

Question

I use Nicky Clarke straighteners on a low temperature. What's happening?Is it my hair ripping?

Answer 1

I have had that too ! Funnily enough I found that when I turned up the temp by a few notches, the noise seemed to go.... I think its when there isn't much heat that is being applied.

Answer 2

If it is not a sizzling sound (meaning your hair is still kind of damp) and it is a rippling sound, then your hair is dry. If this is the case, you are possibly not protecting your hair when putting heat on it. Prior to applying heat to it, I recommend using a dime sized amount of CHI Silk infusion and rub it throughout your hair (it has wheat, protein, etc. and is not greasy). Next spray your hair with a heat protector (such as Aveda Brilliant Damage Control). Spray the sections super lightly prior to applying the straightner. Next go ahead and straighten your hair (turn the temp up). After you are done, you can rub on Farouk Biosilk Silk Infusion (a dime size amount- non-greasy) and your hair will be so soft and healthy to the touch and you have successfully protected your hair from bad heat damage. Also, if you apply heat to your hair usually on a weekly basis, please make sure you use a good conditioner made for once a week use (such as Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Restucturing Treatment or The Body Shop Poppy Seed Oil Reviving Mask). Good luck!

This is your hair snagging inbetween the plates.You need to make sure you take clean sections of hair, ie have no little strands that are gonna get caught in the plates.
You also need to make sure your hair is bone dry and that you use a protection spray before you use the straightners.Also make sure your hair is not tangles as this can cause the ripping sound you hear aswell.

Answer 4

honey it sounds like !your hair is still wet and dont ever do that also dont be convinced by those wet to dry straightners because ill tell you from pro experience water and heat +fried hair. you need to turn the temp up because in all reality your applying less heat think about it more heat less time right. less heat is more heat because you have to go slower and longer because low heat. i reccomend you try using the iron smoother by matrix and the sealing serum they make your hair silky straight and provide superb thermal protectio{dont ever straighten without protection the hair} hope this helps and rember treat your hair like the silk it is

Answer 5

try, turning up the temperature up, get them hot, you'll probably find they will run smoother on your hair.

condition your hair,
when drying hair leave it slightly damp. only slightly, then straighten hair, that should make a difference,

or it just migh justt be the straigheners your using. that dont suit your hair,
i use ghd's there expensive but the best ive tried,

only a few tips but hope it helps.

Answer 6

You could be frying your hair if your hair is still damp, causing it to make a ripping noise. Blow dry or let your hair completely air dry before straighteneing. I reccommend to air dry do you dont dry out your hiar, if not , use a heat protection spray. GL :)

Answer 7

Ring the Nickster and ask nay....demand an explanation,but as an ex crimper it shouldn't be so oh tortured one.Or you could ring a mate of mine in Doncastor and hell put you straight(2 coin a phrase) Ask 4 Mr Tony and tell him Jess from Tignes said call Bon Chance!!!!tel...doncastor 01303368777

Answer 8

Condition, Condition, Condition.. you have removed most of the natural moisture from your hair. The sound you are hearing is your dry hair calling out for a deep conditioning, good luck

Answer 9

it just sounds like your straighteners are fizzing on the moister of your hair.
make sure your hair is completly dry, has some protective spray/cream and your right to use a low setting.

Answer 10

no your hair is not ripping but all that means is you have to dry your hair more before you straighten it other wise if that's not it don't put so much pressure on hair and turn it up to a higher tempature!
