Everyone knows that you always want a hair style you haven’t got, but that doesn’t make it any easier! Hundreds of women straighten their hair every day, using various products, tips and techniques, but how should we know what works? Here are my top fourteen tips for hair straightening!
1. Go to a hairdresser!
Have your hair trimmed, to keep it healthy, and ask them to blow dry it straight. Pay attention to how they do it, so that you can repeat the process at home.
2. Ask questions!
Ask which heat and frizz protection products are best for your hair type, and look up where you can get them at the best price.
3. Use a small amount!
Frizz Serum is very oily, and can cause hair to go lank and flat. Make sure you only use a small amount and spread it around evenly, or you risk applying too much!
Great post! I had poker straight hair but then I had a few body waves within the last two years and I’m awaiting my hair’s return back to the easy straight hair that it once was! I should blow dry it straight more vs. going straight to the straightening iron.

I just straightened my hair a few minutes ago :) I use the hairdryer but I dry my hair upside down to give it some volume. After I use a serum for the ends and its also useful to protect them against the heat, and the simply the straightener. :)Since I’ve start using this serum I’m quite happy with my ends, because they look healthy and they are not split :)

Another tip is to deep condition the night before. It will make your hair glossy and shiny (: And very soft. I do it every time (:

Ha. Interesting. I never thought of the whole “blow dry and then only straighten necessary parts” point. I don’t straighten my hair often but that seems like a great way to not destroy your hair.
@ Tavia, Serums can work wonders!
@ Rose, My hair is too oily for me to deep condition it. But I might give it a shot :p
