If you have thick curly frizzy hair you may wonder if it is even possible to have smooth frizz free hair. You may have tried numerous products over the years and have been discouraged for the lack of result. If you don’t want to permanently straighten your hair one product stands out among others to straighten thick curly frizzy hair daily. That product is Remington’s Wet2Straight flat iron. The iron is simple to use but with thick curly frizzy hair you may need some advice on where to begin.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Remington Wet2Straight iron
  • Hair clip
  • Brush

    How to Straighten Thick Curly Frizzy Hair

  1. Step 1
     

    Choose a setting to begin with. The Remington’s Wet2Straight flat iron comes with various settings. However for someone with thick curly frizzy hair you only need to be concerned with three of them. Number 12 for dry hair, number 20 for damp hair and number 30 for wet hair. So choose the setting depending on the moisture level in your hair.

  2. Step 2
     

    Comb a small section of your hair about one inch in diameter. Start with the top nearest to the scalp. Clamp the hair tightly and slowly pull the iron down the hair shaft. Repeat to desired smoothness.

  3. Step 3
     

    Clip the finished section of your hair to the other side of your head and continue to take another section of hair. Again comb this section, clamp the hair tightly with the hair iron and slowly pull the it down the hair shaft.

  4. Step 4
     

    Clip this small section of your thick hair to the other hair that you previously straightened. Repeat this procedure until all hair is straightened.

  5. Step 5
     

    Brush your hair thoroughly as you smooth over your hair with your hand. This may seem tedious but people who have thick curly hair tend to not have to wash their hair everyday so you may only need to do this once or twice a week.

Tips & Warnings
  • * Keep steam vents facing away from your scalp so as not to burn your head.
  • * Do not leave your iron unattended and use carefully around small children
