    How To Straighten Your Hair With And Without Heat

    4 Min Read

    If you have curly hair, you know the struggle it can be to achieve straight hair. Thankfully, flat irons and straighteners can do the job.

    In this article, we’ll explain how to curl your hair with a flat iron. We’ve listed some really simple steps so that you can follow along.

    Should You Straighten Your Hair Wet Or Dry?

    Some people may get away with straightening their hair while it’s wet, but after a while there is the risk of damaging your locks. For the best results, straighten your hair when it’s dry.

    The moisture trapped within your follicles can hasten heat damage when straightening, and you don’t want to do that.

    OK, let’s go over the steps for straightening your hair without heat first, then we’ll consider he steps for straightening your hair with heat.

    How To Straighten Your Hair Without Heat

    If you don’t want to use heat on your hair, it’s understandable; heat can damage your hair. The good news is that you can naturally straighten your hair as well.

    Depending on the grade of hair you have you may be able to apply a hot towel on your head and comb it straighten. To naturally straighten your hair in other ways, here are some products you can use:

    How To Straightener Your Hair With Heat

    You’ll need a flat iron to straighten your hair with heat. Once you’ve plugged in your flat iron, and positioned yourself in front of a mirror, you’re ready to go.

    Grab A Small Section Of Your Hair

    With your hand, grab some strands of hair — about 1 to 2 inches across should be enough — and pull it out, elevating it away from your head.

    The reason you’ll want to pull it away from your head is because the flat iron is really hot! With the other hand, grab your flat iron.

    Clamp Your Hair With the Flat Iron And Stroke Down

    Now you’ll want to do is clamp your hair as close to the scalp without actually touching it. While you’re positioned the flat iron with your hair in between, stroke your hair in a downward motion.

    Because of the heat, you should be able to do this one time and achieve the desired results: Straight hair.

    Grab another small section of hair and follow the same steps.

    Here’s a video to help you see how it’s done:

    Some safety tips that you need to follow:

    • Set it to the lowest temperature first. If you don’t get your hair straight, then adjust the setting hotter.
    • Don’t keep your flat iron plugged up if you’re done with it.
    • When applying the heat to your hair, don’t let the flat iron stay on one section of your hair for no longer than a second or so. You don’t want to damage your hair. 

    Last Word

    Aside from using some rollers or a flat iron, some petroleum-free, mineral oil-free pomade can definitely straighten your hair. With every product, you’re going to have to see how it works with your particular hair type and if it works for you.

    Once you decide on a hair product, be mindful of how long it lasts and how many times a week you have to use it.

    It comes with an extra hairbrush and a booklet that shows you lots of different options on how to use the product. I tried to do the curly hair style and it worked really well. It Also shows the temperature the whole time, it’s very light and I can totally recommend it.”
     

    4. Mixcolor Professional Hair Straightener & Curler 

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about the Mixcolor Professional Hair Straightener:  “I can honestly say, this is one of the best hair straighteners I have ever owned. It works better than a name brand one that I gave over $200 for. I straightened my hair as usual and put some chi straightening serum in my hair before and after. There was no frizz and it lasted for 2 days in the southern humidity. This is my new favorite hair straightener. I love the extras that came with this too. I actually used it all. I would definitely recommend this product to others that want to truly straighten their hair without all the frizz.”

I decided to try this one and am very happy with the way it worked on my hair. I like the temp controls and the swivel cord that keeps it from getting tangled. Would definitely recommend!”
     

    6. Remington Wet2Straight Flat Iron with Ceramic + Titanium Plates

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about Remington Wet2Straight Flat Iron: “This straightener gets my hair so straight so quickly. The sliding power button means it won’t die the way my last Remington did, and the heat settings are so much easier to control. I LOVE this straightener. Oh, and the steaming my wet hair to dry in seconds bit is basically black magic. I’m so glad this product line continues to move forward past my imagination. This product made me realize how much harder it was with my old one – and that’s the sign of a truly great investment.”

    7. TYME Iron Pro 2-in-1 Hair Curler and Straightener

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about the Tyme Iron Pro 2 in 1 curler and straightener: “I’m slightly confused by the bad reviews on how hard this tool is to use or that it doesn’t work. I’m not talented at doing my hair. I’ve had the same hairstyle since the great permed mullet debacle of 1986. It’s straight, fine, flat, and I’ve got lots of it. It nevvvver wants to hold a curl.”

    8. Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer Hot Air Brush, Black

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about the Revlon One-Step Hair Dryer & Volumizer: “I loved this blow dryer for its simplicity and ease of use. I’d use it every week on wash day and for incredible results. But then I started noticing my hair was thinning and eventually a large section of it looked as though it was fried. I realize that the metal used in between the brissals was getting so hot that it was burning my hair and overtime eventually led to major hair loss. I had to chop my hair in order to stimulate regrowth and have been on the road to healthy hair recovery since. If you care and love your tresses, please go the old fashioned route with a roller brush and conventional dryer to control distance and heat exposure. It’s more work but if something feels too good to be true it most likely is!”

    9. NITION Professional Salon Hair Straightener

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about the NITION Professional Salon Hair Straightener:  “I am honestly in love with this straightener! I have owned many many straighteners but this is by far my favorite! It doesn’t pull on my hair or hurt when I am doing my hair. One of my favorite things though is that it doesn’t have a button to turn it on and off but instead its a twist mechanism. I hate when there is buttons because I always accidentally press it when doing my hair and don’t realize that its been off until 5 min have been wasted. It also comes with clips that you can never have to many of. Two thumbs up from me!”

    10. MAN NUO Professional Hair Straightener 2 in 1

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about the MAN NUO Professional Hair Straightener 2 in 1: “This is a unique flat iron concept that is a little tricky to use, but turns out great once you get the hang of it. Feels like a real quality item. The digital temperature readout is great. The silicone sleeve is a FANTASTIC idea that allows you to put the iron way before it’s fully cooled. This flat iron creates a nice little wave in your hair. It was hard to get a good picture, but this is definitely worth giving a try.”

    11. CHI G2 Ceramic and Titanium 1 1/4″ Straightening Hairstyling Iron

    Buy

    Here’s what one reviewer says about the CHI G2 Ceramic and Titanium 1 1/4″ Straightening Hairstyling Iron: “I was with my girlfriend one evening as she was doing her hair, when I heard her announce “I need a new hair iron.” I decided then and there to buy her one, proving I actually listen when she talks. I looked at a lot of different products and read a lot of reviews. I was left with the impression that women are generally picky about their flat irons and that I could easily go wrong with my pick. I chose this item because it had the best overall reviews at the price point I was comfortable with.”

    Last Word

    The best hair straightener for your hair will be one that maintains the health of your follicles. No matter if you like to use a flat iron or special brush, straightening your hair shouldn’t hurt. Hopefully, our list provided some clarity based on the reviews of real people.

    Usher’s Vocals Thrill On NPR’s Tiny Desk

    3 Min Read

    Many a fan has questioned the vocal abilities of Atlanta’s R&B king, Usher Raymond. Over the last few years especially, he’s had to take comparisons from artists with much less experience, range, and let’s face it, dancing ability. 

    But Usher put all that to rest with the recent release of his Tiny Desk performance on NPR. Singing several of his hits in a small library, the team at NPR was able to get the best out of the “Superstar” singer.

    NPR made sure to roll out the red carpet for Usher and his team, showcasing him as the climax to an entire month of black music.

    Here Are The Songs Usher Sung On NPR’s Tiny Desk

    SET LIST

    • “You Make Me Wanna…”
    • “Superstar”
    • “U Don’t Have to Call”
    • “Nice & Slow”
    • “Confessions Part II”
    • “My Way”

    MUSICIANS

    • Usher: vocals
    • Eric Bellinger: vocals
    • Vedo: vocals
    • Dmitry Gorodetsky: bass
    • Lemar Guillary: trombone
    • Brandyn Phillips: trumpet
    • Jay Flat: saxophone
    • Darek Cobbs: keys
    • Erick Walls: guitar
    • Ryan Carr: drums

    Usher looked like he enjoyed the mini-concert as much as the fans, often grinning while hitting his sweet falsetto notes.

    On social media, fans were shocked to be reconnected to many of the lyrics they had evidently grown up listening to.

    And as for a Verzuz contest, fans were quick to point out that Usher would do away with the competition.

    NPR has been doing Tiny Desk concerts since 2008, but they have recently exploded in popularity thanks to the platform releasing new episodes of the video series.

    Watch Usher’s Tiny Desk Performance

    Usher’s concert is not the first time an Atlanta artist did his thing on NPR. If you remember, Big Boi from Outkast also rocked out on his Tiny Desk performance.

    Final Word

    Atlanta is the home of a lot of great music and great artists. From the So So Def roster to the R&B empire built by Laface, good music has long been a hallmark of the ATL.

  • L.O.A. opens at Interlock in Atlanta

    Rooftop L.O.A. Opens In West Midtown Atlanta

    4 Min Read

    We told you about it in late winter and it’s here: Rooftop L.O.A. has opened for business, according to a news release from the venue.

    The luxe rooftop bar and restaurant is located atop The Interlock development in West Midtown Atlanta.

    Rooftop L.O.A. Opens In West Midtown

    The eatery’s name, Rooftop L.O.A., stands for Leave of Absence, and is a nod to the carefree environment that will put you in the mind of a getaway when you visit.

    “It’s even more than we imagined it would be,” Slater Hospitality Co-Founder + Chief Creative Officer, Mandy Slater, said in the news release, referring to the opening of Rooftop L.O.A. “It’s a joy seeing people on the rooftop – swimming in the Pool, enjoying a spritz under the sun, ordering caviar with their friends in a cabana, and beaming at the sunsets from the Grove terrace. Guests are really soaking it up and immersing themselves in everything L.O.A. offers.”

    The establishment takes up 38,000-square feet and is a full-service restaurant complete with rooftop pool bar with cabanas, lounge and more.

    The Grove

    One of the main features is the Grove, a garden-inspired outdoor bar and 150-person covered event pavilion. The secluded space’s pavilion is great for private events and more. The Grove opens at 5 p.m. every day.

    The Pool

    Another top amenity of Rooftop L.O.A. is the pool. Complete a cabana, lounge chairs and stadium, the pool is the perfect place to beat the heat in Atlanta.

    Pool hours are as follows:

    • Sunday – Wednesday | 11 a.m. – 10 p.m.
    • Thursday – Saturday | 11 a.m. – 12 a.m. or later.

    “The Pool at Rooftop L.O.A. is a huge part of what makes this concept unique to Atlanta,” said Slater Hospitality Founder + CCO, Mandy Slater. “A pool that is detached from a hotel or a residence creates a special offering that doesn’t exist currently. We can’t wait to welcome guests and offer a truly world-class experience – a slice of paradise where guests can escape, unwind, be taken care of, and detach from the day-to-day.”

    The Pool and indoor pool bar accommodate more 200 people with sun loungers and private cabanas, food and beverage service, and a rotation of events and programming.

    What’s On The Menu At Rooftop L.O.A.?

    The menu is executed by Chef Joseph Trevino, and will feature coastal European cuisine with open-fire cooking for dinner, brunch, and late-night bites.

    Among the tasty delights are foie gras bratwurst and shrimp tacos, plus an ancient grains bowl. And the venue has a unique twist on popsicles —  “Whim-sicles,” which can come with mango paleta, Pina Colada with dark chocolate and the Blueberry gel squeeze shot.

    There is also a brunch menu available at the pool on Saturday and Sunday. Brunch menu items include a French pastry selection and Gougere Benedict with prosciutto cotto and hollandaise, and plenty more.

    Where Is The Rooftop L.O.A. Located?

    The Rooftop L,O.A. is located on the roof of The Interlock in West Midtown, Rooftop L.O.A. The Interlock’s address is 1115 Howell Mill Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30318. Here’s a map to help you find it.

    Popeyes Brings Back Cajun Rice For A While: Here’s Where To Get It In Atlanta

    2 Min Read

    Popeyes Chicken has brought back its popular Cajun Rice to its stores, including those in Atlanta, Georgia. The popular side order will be sold for a limited time starting Tuesday, June 21, 2022.

    Cajun Rice Returns To Popeyes

    Cajun Rice, affectionately called “Dirty Rice,” is back on the Popeyes menu in celebration of the company’s 50th year serving customers. Last week, Popeyes rolled out a weeklong 50 cents menu to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its business.

    Now, with the limited-time return of Cajun Rice, Popeyes is upping the ante.

    Why Did Popeyes Discontinue Cajun Rice?

    Cajun Rice on the Popeyes menu was discontinued one year ago as the eatery announced that it was responding to consumer feedback on the dish. At the time, Popeyes said that it would continue to look “for ways to improve” its menu.

    The city has some good restaurants in each quadrant of the city: East, West, North, South. All you need to do is think about what you have a taste for. Italian? Soul food? Tex-Mex? Atlanta has it all.

    Metro Atlanta’s food and drink scene continues to grow with no stops on the horizon. Ready to try something new?

I love this product and am never without it.”
