This is a article on how to straighten your hair so that it is sleek and straight like a pin.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Bed Hed Thermal Protection
  • comb
  • paddle brush
  • flat iron
  • shampoo & Conditoner
  1. Step 1

    Wash your hair and then condition it. While conditioner is in hair comb and brush through hair to remove tangles. Rinse the conditioner out with very cold water to close the follicles and make the hair shiny and smoother. If your hair is very damaged, consider adding a leave-in conditioner after your shower or bath.

  2. Step 2

    Instead of towel drying your hair, wring it out over a sink. You can pat dry or squeeze a bit with a towel, but don't rub it. Vigorous drying with a towel will create tangles.

  3. Step 3

    Apply a hair product that is for straightening hair. Distribute it evenly. Consider adding a serum or cream that protects hair from heat styling as well. Dry your hair completely with a blow dryer and a paddle brush. If your hair gets a tangle from the blowing, get the tangle out with your comb.

  4. Step 4

    Turn on your hair iron and let it heat up. Straighten small sections of hair at a time. The less hair you use with each pass of the iron, the better the results will be. In addition, if you pass the iron through your hair slowly instead of quickly, the hair will get straighter.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure to section off your hair.
  • Use no line hair clips to hold straightened hair in place without leaving a line.
  • I recommend using the sedu straightener for best results, yes it is expensive but worth the price.
  • warning if using a steam straightener be carefully when near the scalp.
