Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GloStraight safe for all hair types?
Yes! The GloStraight is designed to work on all hair types — straight, wavy, curly, and coily. It's especially effective on thick, coarse, and natural African hair. The adjustable temperature settings let you choose the right heat level for your hair type, minimising damage while delivering salon-smooth results.
How do I protect my hair from heat damage?
Always apply a heat protectant spray before straightening. Start with the lowest effective temperature setting for your hair type and work in small sections for the best results. The GloStraight's ceramic plates distribute heat evenly, reducing hot spots that cause breakage and damage.
How long does the straightening last?
Results typically last 1–3 days depending on your hair type, humidity, and how you care for your hair afterwards. To extend your style, avoid moisture and use a light finishing serum to lock in smoothness. In humid coastal areas like Durban, a good anti-humidity spray will help maintain your look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the GloStraight safe for colour-treated or chemically relaxed hair?
Yes! The GloStraight's ceramic plates are gentle enough for colour-treated, relaxed, and chemically processed hair. We recommend using a heat protectant spray before styling and selecting a lower temperature setting to keep your hair healthy and vibrant.
What temperature should I use for my hair type?
For fine or damaged hair, use 150–170°C. For normal or wavy hair, 170–190°C works best. For thick, coarse, or natural African hair, 190–230°C delivers the smoothest results. Always start lower and increase gradually to find your ideal setting.
How do I clean and maintain my GloStraight?
Allow the plates to cool completely before cleaning. Wipe the ceramic plates with a damp cloth to remove any product buildup. Never submerge in water. Store with the cord loosely wrapped to prevent damage. Regular cleaning keeps the plates gliding smoothly and extends the life of your straightener.
Can I use the GloStraight on wet hair?
No — always straighten dry hair only. Using a straightener on wet or damp hair can cause serious heat damage and breakage. Blow-dry your hair fully before straightening, and always apply a heat protectant for best results.
