Do you have extremely curly hair, and want to straighten? Yet avoid the horrible waste of money you put into going to the salon, or buying an expensive straightener

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • any anti-frizz spray, a cheap in-expensive straightener that can go to 400 degrees F, and a brush
  1. Step 1
    You can purchase this at AVON or amazon.com for $5

    Okay you are going to want to put anti-frizz serum on your DAMP/WET hair. I like to use [Avon mark Salon Straight Anti-Frizz Serum With Invigorating Orange] or any other Anti-Frizz.

  2. Step 2
    Zoe, bought at ULTA for $30

    let your hair dry before proceeding, you can turn your straightener on and set it to 400F [I use a Zoe Flat Iron]

  3. Step 3

    You can chose to section out your hair or place it in a bun at the top of your head [I place my hair in a bun.]

  4. Step 4

    I know people say to start from the back to the front ...I always do my hair from the front to the back, and do bottom sections first so its easier.

  5. Step 5

    Once you've reached the half-way point in the back middle of your head, start on the opposite side.

  6. Step 6

    Now that you've done both sides you might have the last section left the crown of your head ... this part is the easiest.

  7. Step 7
    .Mark Shine Spray about $5

    Now that everything is nice and straight spray some .Mark Shine Spray or any other Shine Spray on your brush and brush through your hair.

  8. Step 8
    TRESemme TRES TWO ultra fine mist [works like a charm and doesnt make hair hard to brush through]

    Now your hair is ready! If you are going out clubbing or live in a humid place and don't want your hair messing up use some hair spray.

  9. Step 9
    yay my hair is nice and straight

    ENJOY!

Tips & Warnings
  • When straightening hair don't leave the straightener on one section of hair for more than 30 seconds [you don't want damaged hair]
  • DO NOT place straightener/flat iron near/on plastic as it will burn.
  • DO NOT burn yourself or anyone else.
  • DO NOT place straightener near water.
  • When applying hair spray avoid too much spray [if you get near fire ... you will be up in flames]
