Get Sleek and Straight For Summer

May 14, 2013

1. For best results begin with clean, dry hair in your natural texture. Separate your hair to begin working on the bottom section. I typically separate my hair into thirds but depending on how thick your hair is you may want to do more or fewer sections.
2. For each section, apply a heat protectant and brush out any knots. I used TRESemme Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Leave-In Spray.
3. Straighten your hair in 1-2 inch sections depending on the thickness of your hair.
4. Continue straightening in this way until you get to the top section of your head. I am using a CHI 1″ flat iron.
5. Once the bottom two sections are complete tie them into a loose, low pony. That way you won’t get it confused with the hair that has already been straightened. Then, take the top section out of the clip and decide on your part. I will be doing a center part.
6. Apply a smoothing serum to eliminate frizz. I used BioSilk Silk Therapy.
7. Apply a light misting of hairspray to keep it pin straight all day and tame fly-aways. I used TRESemme Tres Two Spray in Extra Hold.
8. Brush out your hair one last time and you are finished!
