Things You'll Need

- Hair straightener
- Smoothing serum
Instructions
-
-
1
Wash and condition hair as normal. Clean hair works best to achieve the sleek, straight hairstyle, so wash immediately before or even the night before styling.
-
2
Blow-dry, aiming the dryer downwards to prevent frizz and keep hair as smooth as possible.
-
-
3
Heat the hair straightener.
-
4
Brush hair through. Using a clip, secure the top half of your hair onto the top of your head.
-
5
Place the comb at the top of a one-inch section of hair from the loose hair.
-
6
Place the paddles of the hair straightener around the hair just above the comb.
-
7
Start moving the comb slowly down the hair shaft, following closely behind with the straightener.
-
8
Continue until you reach the ends of hair; the comb and hair straightener should slide off.
-
9
Repeat this process over the same section of hair one or two more times, depending on your hair's thickness. You should notice your hair becoming smoother and flatter each time you run the straightener down. Wait a few seconds between each time, to ensure your hair does not burn.
-
10
Straighten the rest of your hair. Do the rest of the bottom section first, then the top section in this manner, working in small one-inch sections to ensure the smoothest, sleekest hairstyle.
-
11
Squeeze a small amount of smoothing serum into your hands and rub between your palms.
-
12
Rub your hands gently over the top of your hair, starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots. Smoothing serum helps fight frizzies and flyaways, leaving you with a sleek, straight style.

Tips & Warnings
Using a round brush while blow-drying can help smooth the hair more before straightening.
Ensure your hair is completely dry before using the hair straightener. Running a straightener over wet hair can cause the hair to burn and even possibly give an electrical shock.
Hair straighteners and other heat-styling tools cause damage to hair over time. Always use a thermal heat protectant spray before using any heat-styling tools and avoid straightening every day.
