Hair Straightening: Hair Ideas

Here are some step-by-step tips for taming your tresses to create bone-straight sleek hair:

1- Start by applying your chosen product evenly through the hair — an anti-frizz serum is ideal.

2- Beginning at the back, use clips to section the Hair. Avoid taking a section that is too big.

3- Using a paddle brush, dry each section in a downward motion. Star at the roots, taking the brush right through to the ends of the hair. To finish each section, give the hair a blast of cold air.

4- When all the sections of the hair are dry, lightly spray with hairspray to seal the cuticles.

5- Heat the straightening iron and, when it is very hot, run them section by section from the roots to the ends of the hair to ensure Cleopatra-style straight hair. This seals the cuticles of the hair, leaving it almost impossible for any moisture to penetrate the shaft.

6- To complete the look, spray the hair with a light mist of shine spray.
