Heat styling seems to be one of those necessary evils you just can’t part with. Or at least, I can’t seem to do away with it. Of course, there are times when natural hair works for the occasion. But most of the time, trying to put together a sleek and lasting look requires the use of a blow dryer, flat iron, curling wand, or some combination of all three.
