What do you need

1 Start with wet hair. Wash and condition your hair properly. If you use shampoo, be sure to rinse it off thoroughly before applying conditioner to your hair. Finish your shower by rinsing your head with cool water. This will close the hair follicles tightly and minimize hair loss.

2 Comb your hair. Use a wide, flat hair brush to detangle your hair before drying. Start combing your hair from the ends and gradually work your way up to the roots. Do not pull too hard with the brush when bumping into tangled areas.

3 Spray your hair with a heat protectant spray. Apply a heat protectant spray to your hair before blow-drying. Bring the spray bottle about 30 cm away from your head and spray onto wet hair. Be sure to cover the entire mass of the hair.

Thermal spray can be purchased at most beauty and beauty supply stores.
Opt for a heat protectant that can be applied to both wet and dry hair.

Look for a dual-action heat protectant spray with added sun protection. Arthur Sebastian, owner of the hairdressing salon of the same name, says: “Not many hair products currently include UV filters. But if you are going to spend a lot of time in the sun, these products will help protect your hair from sun-burn and drying. "

Part 2 of 3: Drying your hair

1 Dry your hair with a hair dryer and a wide hair brush. Avoid using the round brush while drying your hair if you intend to straighten your hair. Replace the round brush with a wide, flat brush. It will help you to make your hair straighter even while blow-drying.
2 Finish drying by blowing cold air from a hair dryer. Secure your straightened hair in position with the cool air blower from your hair dryer. The heat helps to style the hair with the blow dryer in the desired position. And the cold air allows you to consolidate the results obtained for several hours.
3 Treat your hair with a heat protectant. Before you heat your hair again with an iron, spray it again with a heat protectant spray. Make sure to use a spray that can be applied to both wet and dry hair.

Part 3 of 3: Straighten your hair with an iron

1 Divide your hair into sections. Divide your hair into at least three sections (two at the sides and one at the back). Decide which section you will start with, and pin the rest of the sections with hairpins so that they do not interfere with you.
2 Straighten the hair of each section in sequence. Straighten the strands with an iron. To do this, set your hair iron to a medium temperature. Run the iron slowly through your hair, but do not stop and hold it in one place. Otherwise, you will damage or burn your hair.
- In the low temperature mode, you will have to iron through your hair several times, which can also damage the hair.
3 Fix the hairstyle. Use a hairspray or blow a cold air blower over your hair again to secure the style.

Tips

Never skip a heat protectant step when thermally styling your hair.
Use a higher heating temperature on the iron so you don't have to run it through your hair multiple times.

Warnings

Excessive exposure to heat over time damages the hair. Thermal spray helps to minimize potential harm.
Be careful when working with your hair straightener. The appliance becomes very hot and can burn your skin.
