straightening hair

• If your blow dryer has a cool setting, turn that setting on after drying it fully. It makes the hair appear shinier, just like rinsing your hair with cool water will.
• Use a wide tooth comb and as you comb through, just follow with your straightener behind. This works really well because this way your straightener gets each individual strand much better.
• Make sure you don't add any oils to your hair before you straighten it, because it will fry your hair. Just imagine what happens to a french fry in oil.
• Divide it into sections. If you have thick hair, take really small sections, but if you have thin hair you can take bigger sections.
• Another type of straightener that can help straighten without damaging is an ionic or wet-to-dry straightener. Instead of using two heated plates, it acts as a blow-dryer, causing less damage and frizz.
• If it's rainy or very humid outside, try not to walk or be outside for too long or else the humidity will cause your hair to frizz.
• When blow-drying your hair, make sure the hairdryer is pointing down (i.e. with the “grain” of the hair, not against it), which shines your hair. You may also want to apply a heat protection spray before blow-drying.
• Pull the straighteners upward (as opposed to straight down) to get straight hair but with volume at the roots.
• Always have plenty of hair ties on hand to hold your hair in place when going from section to section..
