Apply a heat protectant.
Use your hands to collect and lift your dry hair, and evenly apply a heat protectant spray. This will help reduce heat damage from the straightener.

How to plant a living christmas tree
Check the root ball for damage.
Move the tree gently side to side and be sure the root ball moves with the trunk as you do this. The base of the trunk should not move around inside the root ball, which is indicative of damaged roots.

OPTIONS:
- If this is the case, you should not attempt to plant your tree because it is unlikely to survive. Limit the amount of time your tree is indoors.
- If the root ball rotates rapidly left or right and does not move vigorously right or left, it is damaged. Ensure the base is sitting upright at all times and there is nothing up top.
- Keep the tree firmly rooted in water. Dig a hole 3 to 4 inches (7.6 to 10 cm) deep.
- Stand the tree upright until the wire is taut around the outermost root ball. Once that's secured, make another connection between two above-ground roots so your tree is ready to move.
If this is the case, you should not attempt to plant your tree because it is unlikely to survive. Limit the amount of time your tree is indoors.
