How to Straighten Hair

## How to Straighten Hair

Step 1: Prep your hair.

* Start with towel-dried hair. If your hair is very thick or curly, you may want to let it air dry until it's about 80% dry before starting.

* Detangle your hair with a wide-toothed comb or brush.

Step 2: Apply a heat protectant.

* Apply a heat protectant product to your hair from roots to ends. This will help to protect your hair from damage caused by the heat of the straightener.

Step 3: Section your hair.

* Clip up your hair, leaving out a 1-inch section at the front of your head.

Step 4: Straighten your hair.

* Use a flat iron to straighten your hair, starting at the roots and working your way down to the ends.

* For best results, move the flat iron through your hair slowly and evenly.

* Repeat this process for each section of your hair.

Step 5: Finish with a smoothing serum.

* Apply a smoothing serum to your hair to help tame frizz and flyaways.

* You can also use a light hairspray to hold your hair in place.

Tips for Straightening Hair

* To get even straighter hair, use a narrow-barreled flat iron.

* For a more natural look, use a wider-barreled flat iron.

* If you have very curly hair, you may need to go over each section of hair multiple times with the flat iron.

* Don't straighten your hair too often. This can damage your hair over time.
