How to Use the Moroccanoil Titanium Flat Iron.
If you’ve ever straightened your hair before, the process is fairly simple.
Before you do anything though, we recommended prepping your hair with a nourishing shampoo and conditioner or hair mask to ensure it remains hydrated and happy!
From there, follow the below:
1. Gently blow dry hair and apply a heat protector (I used the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense). You can also apply a smoothing serum for thicker hair.
2. Separate hair into sections and secure it with hair ties or clips - this just makes life easier.
3. Set your temperature. Most experts agree that the ideal range is between 120-190 degrees Celsius, but thick or curly hair may require higher heat.
4. Begin straightening about one inch from the roots, using one hand to hold each section and the other to clamp and smooth the straightener through your hair.
5. Finish with a styling product such as a serum or oil to add shine or hairspray to hold hair in place.

My New Moroccanoil Titanium Flat Iron Review.
For starters, it definitely delivered on the efficiency front.
It didn’t take long for the titanium plates to heat up and they stayed consistently hot throughout use.
This was a BIG win for me, especially as someone who tends to snooze their alarm one too many times in the morning.
The extra-long plates meant I could achieve a salon-worthy look in less than five minutes (now that’s worth getting out of bed for).
It also delivered on its promise of shiny, sleek hair. I’m putting this down to their use of titanium plates over ceramic which has been known to cause frizz.
Side note: I also tested using the Moroccanoil Perfect Defense versus no heat protector at all - for argument’s sake, of course - and can genuinely say it made a difference.
With Moroccanoil's Perfect Defence, my hair felt healthier, more hydrated and stayed that way throughout the rest of the day.
On the functionality side of things, the Moroccanoil hair straightener's swivel cord, digital temperature display, and lightweight build made it super easy to use.
The only real con I had with the straightener is its colour.
Being a monochrome-clad gal, I’m not that fussed about the blue (don’t h8 me). But perhaps I’ve just lived in Melbourne too long…
P.s. I also used the flat iron to create soft curls which you can watch in the tutorial below.
P.s.s. for barrel curls, check out the new MOROCCANOIL Curling Iron.
