Explanation:
My hair is naturally straight so I've never had the treatment but I think chapinha is a flat iron.

TO FLAT IRON ONE'S HAIR


Explanation:
FLAT IRON [most common] / FLAT-IRON / FLATIRON [least common]

Kelly has great hair for trying different styles. For Tuesday night's final competition, I FLAT IRONED her hair with a side zig- zag part. The straight sleek hair was very elegant, and she looked like a star.

I try toFLAT IRON my hair but it never turns out the same as when my stylist does it.

I realized how curly and wavy my hair was. Now it is a hassle to find products at Sally's and other Beauty stores, even searching online for natural hair products for curly/frizzy/wavy
hair and when I want to FLAT IRON it to wear it in straight hot curled styles, including corn rows and twists sometimes too.

The last time I went to the hair salon to get my hair cut, the stylist FLAT IRONED my hair. I loved how quickly the iron worked, and how smooth my hair got.
