I just received my straightener as a gift and used biosilk silk therapy and it made my hair shinier and silkier than with my previous straightner. If you liked the way Biosilk made your hair feel before, then you are going to love it now!

It is good to use some kind of conditoner before you straiten to help protect against dryness/damage on you hair. It also helps you rhair become less thirsty and it can outstand the elements.

It takes a long time to straighten with the Corioliss, since you can only do very thin strands of hair at a time. However, once you're done, your bouncy curls should stay fresh even if you comb through them, until you get your hair wet again. I have very fine hair that never held curl until I started curling with my corioliss. I'm amazed at how durable the curls are, so for me, it's worth all the effort. For you, though, with your thick hair, it might be too much work.

Want to learn how to curl your hair with a straightener? Here's what you need to do. Steps Thoroughly brush your hair and section it with ties or clips. Start from the bottom layer of hair on one side. Take a small section of hair. Using a thin iron, clamp it at the bottom of your hair and slowly curl it upwards. Hold it for about 5 or so seconds, and gently remove the straightener. [Edit: Actually since most flat irons are just two flat heated plates with plastic or some other heat resistant backing, doing so will just keep the heat on the end too long and end up frying the ends of your hair.] Instead, take the section, lightly mist it with a flexible hairspray. Then place the flat iron about an inch away from your scalp. Twist the iron completely around and then pull it down toward the ends of your hair. This will create the same kind of effect you get when you use a scissor to curl the ends of a ribbon. Running it over your hair slowly will create a tighter curl, and quickly will create a looser curl. Do this to the bottom layer of your hair right around to the other side, then move up and go around until all of your hair is curled. Spray your hair to hold your style (optional). Tips This style can only work if you use a thin iron that is about 1 inch wide. If you use a wider one the style may not work. Make sure your hair is completely tangle free and smooth before you begin.

The corioliss can straighten and curl hair. When curling your hair you just take a small strand of hair and start from the top and go down all the way to the end of your hair, then start to roll the iron up towards the top, from the bottom up. Leave the iron at the top of your hair for a couple of secondsthen let it loose and your hair should be curled.
