Make Hair Straight
You spend hours holding a hair dryer and with a fat
round brush pulling and brushing your hair so that it'll
come out straight and sleek. Then you walk outside and
the humidity hits, making your hair more curly and/or
frizzy than before.
This is an issue for people with curly hair who have at
least once tried to make that hair straight.
Some quick-fixes include using permanent straighteners
and relaxers- most of which you can find in supermarkets
and drug stores to apply in your own home.
A relaxer is best suited for people who have hair that
is especially difficult to style. This usually applies
to people of African or Caribbean descent who have coarse
and frizzy hair. The relaxer is a strong chemical substance
that is applied to dry hair and then left on the hair
from 15 to 45 minutes. The relaxer works chemically with
the composition of your hair, weighing it down in certain
areas and removing curls. Relaxers must be reapplied to
new hair growth.
Other straighteners are called perms- permanents. These
are better left for salons because this process is for
people with a different type of hair characteristic of
caucasians- straight hair with a smooth hair cuticle.
Straighteners need to be reapplied with to new growth.
When blow-drying the hair, simply place a small amount
of conditioner at the roots and at the ends and then use
a comb to distribute from the roots to the tips.
Blow-dry hair straight
Towel dry hair by squeezing, not vigorously rubbing it!
Once hair is half dry, make sure you can slightly blow-dry
it downward to get it 90% dry, then apply a conditioner.
Comb it through and make sure you use an ionic hair dryer,
and a ceramic brush! Take small sections, blow-dry your
hair very slowly, let the heat from the brush heat the
hair, use tension and hold the dryer nozzle 3 inches away
from the hair. Some hair you can leave the ends a little
moist, for the more you dry them, the more rough they
will become! Once you complete all your sections, apply
a light frizz free serum.
