If you have curly hair, chances are you want straight hair. If you have straight hair, chances are you want curly hair. Nobody is ever fully satisfied with their appearance. To all my ladies with curly and nasty frizzy hair, I'm here to give you what you want, a simple way to get that straight, smooth, & beautiful silky hair you desire!
I know how difficult it can be to manage those wild curls and that untamable not so cute frizz on your hair. For years I've been reading articles on how to manage my hair, trying different products, different techniques, but nothing seems to work! It's always one thing or the other, right? So what's the key ingredient to getting that beautiful hair?
Shampoo and conditioner! Yes, that's right. I've spent years trying different shampoos and conditioners and the unfortunate truth is the more expensive the better the quality. So for everyone who is like me, on a budget, I recommend Herbal Essence None Of Your Frizzness. The name speaks for itself; it's a great source to eliminating that nasty frizz.
Once you are out of the shower, towel dry your hair as much as possible. Once you're hair is towel dried, apply a small amount of hair serum. There are many different brands and types of hair serums so make sure you choose the one that is right for you. Not sure which one to choose? Try Chi Straight Guard. Not only will it help with the straightening factor, but it will also help protect your hair from heat. If you want to give your hair that smooth, shiny look, and repair any damage to your hair try Biolage Silk Therapy.
Blow drying your hair is not as hard as you make it out to be, so pick up that blow dryer! Part your hair into sections, clipping up each section out of your way. Let down a section and place a wide tooth comb at the root underneath your hair. Blow dry your hair from the root to tip, eliminating chance of frizz and straightening the hair, until the section is complete. Repeat this with every section of your hair.
You're almost done! For all those stubborn strands of hair that decided not to cooperate with the blow dryer, run over them with your flat iron. Flat irons can really damage the hair, so try to avoid using one when not necessary. Here's a tip for straightening your hair, when flat ironing your hair do little sections at a time, flat iron small strands of hair at a time.
Amazing right? In no time with barely any work you have straighter, smoother, more beautiful hair! It even lasts longer, letting you wake up with beautiful hair the next day. All it takes is some practice and some patience. Just try to keep in mind what is healthy for you hair and wont damage it. Healthier hair is a happier more cooperative hair.
