  1. Step 1

    Plug your flat iron in and heat it up to its hottest setting to start straightening your hair without blow drying. You will also need to make sure your hair is dry.

  2. Step 2

    Pull the top half of your hair into a bun and secure it on the top of your head with a hair clip. The smaller the section of hair that you are working on the faster you will be able to straighten your hair without blow drying.

Repeat this step on all of the hair that is hanging down, doing it in one inch sections, running the flat iron through the hair until this layer is straight.

    Let down the hair that was pulled on top of your head. Repeat step 3 with this portion of your hair that needs to be straightened.

  5. Step 5

    Style your hair as usual when your hair has been straightened to your liking.
