How To Clean Your Straightener In 3 Easy Steps

And here's the easiest way to clean it.

If you own a straightener, we want you to stop what you're doing and think about this question for one second: when was the last time you cleaned your beloved hair tool?

In the video above, we break down the easiest way to get all the gunk off your straightener.
