"Hi this is Liz Muller from Liz's Hair Design in Hollywood, Florida. In this clip I am going to show you how to straighten out curly hair. Now I went ahead and sectioned out a piece of hair for you. My hair is naturally curly and what we'll do first is I'm going to blow dry the piece of hair first and I don't need to be really neat with it, I can just dry it. I could have roller set it but I can just take it with a brush and just dry it or I can just dry it like this and get my flat iron. I am going to go ahead and take this as much as I can before I put my flat iron in it. Run your fingers through it. This is for people who can't really blow dry their hair or have a problem with it, can't roller set it right. You just want your curls straight and it is difficult but you can take a flat iron and do it if you would like to. You can go ahead and take your comb and section off a piece because it might be difficult at first. Take the piece of hair and use a big nice flat iron and take it straight down, bring it down like that. Now again you might want to turn around and use a product in this hair so it gets nice and smooth. I would advise that. Maybe like a semi delean or Moroccan oil. Something to make it smooth and nice and you can smooth out your hair nice and straight like you see right here. Thank you, this is Liz Muller."
