1 Grow long hair. It is a fact - the heavier the hair, the more it straightens under its own weight. Therefore, if you want to naturally make them straighter (not straighten, but straighten), grow them. Shorter hair tends to frizz.

• As the saying goes, don't avoid going to the salon and don't ignore regular haircuts. Go there every 2-3 months, but just trim the ends. This (trimming the ends) actually stimulates growth and allows the hair to grow back faster.

2 Invest in a good hair dryer. The only reason to visit a hair straightening salon is to have good hair dryers, as most homes don't have them. It may sound unreasonable, but the Ionic hair dryer is not just a marketing ploy. If you see this on your hairdryer box, buy it. It can prevent further damage to the hair.

• "Ionic" means that water molecules, instead of evaporating (which usually happens to them under heat), disintegrate, leaving moisture inside the hair. They also speed up hair drying, saving you time. If you use a hairdryer a lot, then the hairdryer is well worth the heavy price tag.

3 Reinforce the correct hair dryer technique. You may think that there is only one way to use a hairdryer - point it to the top of your head and that's it. But in reality, it is important to do something more to make things right. There are two things you need to master:

• Use the diffuser attachment, it is designed to protect hair from direct heat, and also separates hair into strands, which allows you to straighten it faster.
• A large round brush will help smooth hair from roots to ends. It will also make them shinier by straightening your strands.

Method 2 of 2: Hair straightening steps

1. 1 Wash and blow dry your hair. Use shampoo, conditioner, straightening serum and follow your normal straightening routine. Turn on this excellent newly purchased hairdryer and get to work, starting at the base of your neck.
   • Nowadays, you can choose between straightening your hair with a hair dryer or a hair straightener, or both. If you are using a hairdryer, grab a brush and straighten your hair as a hairdresser would. Do not turn on the hair dryer to the maximum temperature and do not bring it too close to your hair.
2. 2 Comb your hair with a flat comb. This step may not be necessary if your hair responds well to blowing and brushing. But if your hair is very curly and tangled, additionally comb it with a flat comb.
   • Always be gentle with your scalp. When brushing, do not pull on the hair roots.
3. 3 Straighten small strands at a time. You may want to save time, but when you pick up large strands, you have to re-process them. Let the strands be about 2.5 cm wide for a more uniform and lasting straightening result. Then you do not need to heat your strands over and over again, but only do it once.
   • If you have fine hair, set your straightener to a low temperature, but thick and coarse hair can handle a medium to high temperature setting. If you're curious, take a thin silk cloth and test your iron on it. If the fabric wrinkles, the temperature is too high for you. And while this is understandable without words, always, always, always use heat protectants for hair to protect the strands from heat.
4. 4 Apply a good hair product. You've invested in a good hairdryer and hair straightener, so it's time to get some good hair products. Get a hairspray you like, a frizzy product or silicone gel.
   • Yes, with silicone. It is found in many hair products. It prevents curls from curling as it repels water, preventing it from penetrating the hair. Using a shampoo, conditioner and styling serum that contains silicone will not only help control curls, but also make it easier to comb and add shine to your hair.

Tips

• Straighten small strands. If you handle large curls, you will get a much worse result.
• Cover your head when you go to sleep, otherwise you will return to your previous state. Use a scarf or sleeping cap.

Warnings

• Use hairspray away from fire.
• Hair straighteners and blow dryers can damage your hair. Try to give your hair at least one rest day per week.
