Things You'll Need:
- Hair straightening cream
- Hair smoothing serum
- Blow dryer with nozzle
- Paddle brush
- Flat iron
- Fine-toothed comb
- Hair clip
-
Step 1
Wet the hair completely.
-
Step 2
Dry your hair with a towel to remove excess water. The hair should be damp but not soaked before adding a hair product.
-
Step 3
Apply hair straightening cream from the roots of your hair to the tips. This product helps loosen the curls and reduce the frizz in your hair.
-
Step 4
Use a hair dryer with a nozzle to rough dry the hair. Use your fingers rather than a brush to lightly loosen the curls. Focus primarily on the roots of the hair at this time.
-
Step 5
Use a hair clip to separate 1-inch sections of the hair.
-
Step 6
Focus on one section at a time and blow dry the hair with a paddle brush until it is completely dry. Get the hair as straight and smooth as possible with the hair dryer and brush before using a flat iron. This makes the flat ironing process much easier.
-
Step 7
Pull the hair straight and direct the nozzle down the section of hair. This not only straightens the hair but also brings out shine.
-
Step 8
Turn on your flat iron to high heat.
-
Step 9
Squeeze a few drops of hair smoothing serum into your hands.
-
Step 10
Rub your hands together to coat your hands with the product.
-
Step 11
Comb your hands throughout the hair to evenly distribute the serum. This adds shine and protects the hair before flat ironing it.
-
Step 12
Separate 1-inch sections of hair to flat iron.
-
Step 13
Use a fine-toothed comb to comb through the section while you flat iron. This helps straighten any curls that were not smoothed with the hair dryer.
-
Step 14
Apply a few drops of hair smoothing serum to the hair to finish the look.
