Always work with small section of hair. Put the hair between the plates and starting close to the scalp press lighty three times and THEN press and hold the plates together and slide them down.

This helps dry the ends close to the scalp without sending all the steam into your scalp (which hurt more than the plates burning you! ouch!)

Also try to always keep your thumb facing up so as to not send all of the steam toward your face (when straightening the front) or scalp.
