"Hi I'm Amelia and I'm going to show you how to straighten your hair. Start with dry hair, take a section and you always want to make sure that you use some sort of thermal protectant and lightly spray that on. Make sure you comb through that section so that you get all the knots out. Grab your flat iron and just flat iron through the section.

Then you just work your way across your head with the flat iron always make sure that you use your thermal protectant in between and always comb that hair right after flat ironing. That's how you straighten your hair."
