Straighten Out! PLUS, ENTER TO WIN a H2Pro Straightner!
I have wavy/curly hair, but sometimes I wish I could wear it straight! What are the best ways to get that look with my hair?
There are other chicas who would love to have gorgeous waves. But, as the saying goes, we all want what we don’t have.
Here are our best straightening tips but, remember, using lotsa heat on your hair can cause damage. Avoid daily straightening to keep those strands healthy!
What you’ll need:
-Shampoo and conditioner for straight, sleek hair
Pantene Pro-V Always Smooth 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner, $8, walgreens.com
-Wide-tooth comb
-Anti-frizz spray
Nexxus Maxxshine Anti-Frizz Spray, $10, target.com
-Round brush
-Blow dryer -A spray that’ll protect hair from the heat
John Frieda Frizz-Ease Heat Defeat Protective Spray, $6, drugstore.com
-Flatiron
What you'll do:
1. Shampoo and condition your hair with your straightening products
2. Rinse hair with cold water and comb out tangles with your wide-tooth comb while still in the shower.
3. Use a towel to squeeze the water out of your hair. Do not rub (this’ll just cause frizzies)!
4. Spritz anti-frizz serum throughout locks.
5. Let tresses air dry about half-way.
6. Blow dry hair the rest of the way on low heat and low speed. Roll the round brush from root to ends as you blow dry sections.
7. Spray the heat protecting product throughout your hair.
8. Gently straighten sections of hair with your flatiron set on medium heat. Viola! Pin-straight locks.
