How Do You Use a Lange Straightener?

Using a Lange straightener, particularly models like the L'ange Le Duo which combines straightening and curling functions, involves preparing your hair and applying the tool section by section to achieve your desired style.

Understanding Your Lange Tool

Many Lange heat tools, like the popular L'ange Le Duo, are designed with versatility in mind. As the reference title indicates, the Le Duo is a "Hair Straightener & Curling Wand in One", offering flexibility for creating different looks.

Basic Straightening Technique

To straighten your hair with a Lange straightener:

1. Prepare Hair: Ensure your hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. Apply a heat protectant spray.
2. Section Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections, typically 1-2 inches wide, using clips.
3. Clamp & Glide: Starting close to the roots, clamp a section of hair between the plates.
4. Move Down: Smoothly and steadily glide the straightener down the entire length of the hair section. Avoid stopping or holding the straightener in one place for too long to prevent heat damage.
5. Repeat: Continue this process section by section until all your hair is straightened.

Using the Lange Le Duo for Curling/Waving (as seen in reference)

The L'ange Le Duo is unique because of its rounded barrel and integrated fan, making it excellent for creating curls and waves. The reference video snippet highlights this specific use:

1. Section Hair: Just like straightening, start with sectioned hair.
2. Position the Tool: The user in the reference mentions starting by going "To go through the base. Or the bottom of my hair". This suggests positioning the tool near the root area of the section.
3. Wrap or Feed & Twist: To create curls or waves, wrap the hair around the barrel or feed it through the plates while simultaneously performing a "twist" motion with the tool as you move it down the hair shaft. The reference shows this twisting action to form the curl/wave.
4. Engage the Fan: The Le Duo has a fan feature. The reference notes "that fan. Goes ahead and sets it." As you release the hair or glide the tool down, the fan cools the section, helping to lock in the curl or wave shape for longer-lasting style.
5. Cool to the Touch Feature: A benefit noted in the reference is that the tool itself is "it's cool to the touch", likely referring to the exterior housing, which makes handling easier, especially when twisting or wrapping hair.
6. Repeat: Continue on other sections of hair to build your desired style of curls or waves.

Remember to always start with a lower heat setting and adjust as needed based on your hair type and texture.
