Well, just like hairbrushes, the flat iron accumulates various residues such as styling products and even dirt. If it is not cleaned, the iron will not work properly, since the contact area between the hair and the iron will be compromised! Thus, the time of use to achieve the perfect straightness will be much longer than necessary&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>HOW OFTEN SHOULD I CLEAN IT?<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>How often you should clean your flat iron depends a lot on how often you use it. Therefore, the more you use your flat iron, the more often you should clean it so that it doesn&#8217;t accumulate so much residue and continues to work properly. So if you use your iron a lot, it is good to clean it after each use or until you notice minimal dirt build-up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don&#8217;t use your flat iron as much (say, less than 4 times a month), you can clean it less often, but you shouldn&#8217;t skip it! In this case, we recommend cleaning at least once a month, ok? Especially if it is a high-quality iron, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/collections\/hair-products\/products\/lizze-extreme-flat-iron\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Extreme model from Lizze<\/a>! To enjoy the incredible performance of this iron, it is very important to take good care of it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2598\/9598\/products\/LIZZE-EXTREME1_2000x.jpg?v=1607796000\" alt=\"\" width=\"542\" height=\"542\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>HOW SHOULD I CLEAN IT?<\/strong><span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_2304_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2304_1_2');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_2304_1('footnote_plugin_reference_2304_1_2');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_2304_1_2\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[2]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_2304_1_2\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\">Waits, S.

You will need 3 things: a warm cloth, rubbing alcohol or warm water, and cotton balls!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>HEAT YOUR FLAT IRON<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing to do is to turn your iron on to the lowest setting and let it heat up. This is to soften the residue that has built upon the surface of the iron and make the whole process easier!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"2\"><li><strong>TURN IT OFF<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>After heating to the lowest temperature, turn off the iron and unplug it to avoid accidents, ok?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"3\"><li><strong>CLEAN THE FLAT IRON<\/strong><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Now it&#8217;s time for the actual cleaning. For this, you have to be very careful since the plates will be warm to hot and you don&#8217;t want to burn yourself! So, let it cool down a bit, and then rub the plates with cotton balls dipped in rubbing alcohol. After that, to ensure 100% cleanliness, wipe them with a damp cloth and warm water! There you go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/young-woman-with-luxurious-hair-straightens-it-with-curling-iron_118454-13126.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/young-woman-with-luxurious-hair-straightens-it-with-curling-iron_118454-13126.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/young-woman-with-luxurious-hair-straightens-it-with-curling-iron_118454-13126-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple care is essential for the proper functioning of your iron.
