How To Iron Your Hair With a Flat Iron

The invention of the flat iron is a boon to those who want the perfect straight locks all the time without going to the salon everyday. Using flat iron is admittedly the quickest way to getting that perfectly smooth and straight hair. If you have ever seen a Lady Gaga picture from when she first started performing her album, you probably experienced a bit of straight hair envy. 

However, the secret to getting uber straight locks really depends on the appropriate flat iron used on your hair. The perfect flat iron will of course depend on the type of hair you have, whether it is long and thick, normal or fine.

 

Make sure your hair is dry before you use the flat iron to avoid irreparable hair damage. And while you’re ironing your hair, make sure you iron out a small section of the hair to get that perfectly straight result. Always start ironing from the root, and then pull the iron in one smooth motion down to the hair shaft. If you want your hair to be uber straight, then iron each hair section more than once.

 

The steps to getting that perfectly straight ironed hair are easier said than done. And when you feel like giving up, remember that practice makes perfect. But make sure you follow the correct steps when ironing your hair to make sure you get the desired results.

Leighton Meester, Singer?

Leighton Meester is singing “Birthday” these days and we like what we are hearing! But is that voice really hers, or a product of the high-technology music studio equipment?

 

If you are a Gossip Girl fanatic then you must have heard of Leighton Meester, but maybe not her voice. One of the biggest celebrity trends among young starlets is thinking that just because they can act, they can sing too. Other actresses like Lindsay Lohan and Hayden Panettiere have tried their vocal chords but failed. So how will Leighton Meester fare in this arena?

 

This is however not the first time that Meester’s singing ambition has surfaced. She has in fact signed a recording contract with Universal Republic last April 2009. She was even featured in the Billboard Top 10 “Good Girls Go Bad” which is a Cobra Starship song.

Meester actually performed at The Venetian in Las Vegas last January 2. And after a four-song performance, Meester headed straight back to the set of Gossip Girl. Listen to Meester sing “Brithday” and be the judge if she has a future in singing, or if she should just stick to the boob tube.
