How to straighten hair

To achieve a professional result it is necessary to prepare the hair well. In this way, it will be easier and faster to comb the hair and it will suffer less with the heat tool. Make sure to hydrate the hair very well first, as it is essential so that hair does not suffer from the heat. Hair must be completely dry before straightening, so you have two options depending on your hair type.

The most appropriate thing is to let it dry in the open air so as not to abuse the heat tools. But if you have a lot of hair or frizzy hair, letting it dry can complicate the task of straightening. In this case it is preferable to use the dryer, since so we undo the curl and get a smoothed faster rear. In any case, before applying heat it is essential to use a heat protection spray.

Once the hair is completely dry, run your hands through the most hidden areas to make sure you remove all the moisture, it is necessary to detangle the hair very well. Brush with damp hair to detangle as much as possible, and go back to brush dry hair before straightening. Now that we have the hair ready, we have to make some partitions to begin with the straightening.

Always start at the nape of the neck and separate the hair into fine strands. This way, you won't have to go over your hair with the iron too many times. If you take very thick strands you will have to insist more and the hair will suffer with it. Use a fine-toothed comb to help detangle the hair while you iron it, the result will be totally professional.

Always start by passing the iron from the root to the middle of the hair's length, pass about 3 times to leave this area that generally has more curl very smooth. From medium to ends you will only need one or two passes, do not abuse the tips and you will prevent them from drying outopen and have to cut too often. Pass the iron slowly, so you will not have to pass it several times and in a single movement you will get a good straightening.

Loosen the hair in sections and repeat the process until the hair is completely straight. When finished, use the dryer with the cold option to eliminate the heat that remains between the hair, thus preventing it from waving due to the effect of heat. To end, apply two or three drops of serum to the palm of your hand, heat between your hands and go through the hair, only from the middle to the ends.

A very important reminder and that for a long time we have done the other way around, the serum is an oil and should not be applied before the straightening, if not after. Think of the kitchen, when you use oil to cook hot it burns with the heat, on the contrary when you use it raw, you hydrate the food. In the hair it is exactly the same, apply the products in their correct order and your hair will benefit from all its advantages.
