If you want your hair extra flat use a small pick comb to aid you as you straighten. I always like to divide my hair into two sections then comb out a piece and straighten it. The result is super flat hair if you use a straightening serum you will only amplify your results. It never fails!

Always use on dry hair most straighteners are not made for ironing wet hair and you may damage your iron over time.

Here's what I do to get my Sedu-perfect hair:

* Wash and condition with basic shampoo and conditioner--nothing fancy

* Put in a straightening lotion (for the static control and to give some extra weight/body to my fine hair--it doesn't impact the straightening at all since the Sedu doesn't need any help there)

* Blow-dry with fingers (I make no attempt to straighten during the dry--it's less work this way and since the Sedu does all the straightening work, there's no reason to do anything beforehand. I'm blow-drying just to get the water out of my hair.)

* Straighten with the Sedu

Also, I have successfully straighted with the Sedu when I've taken my hair down from the Chignon-like twist I use on days when I don't want to do my hair. The Sedu straightens my twisted, kinked up hair with no problem. So, the fact that you might not want to work on your hair in the morning in no way impacts your ability to straighten your hair later in the day.

Try to use a thermal spray before using your flat iron.
1) shampoo, wash, condition hair
2) blowdry until dry to the touch
3) put top half of hair up in a pin
4) spray bottom half of hair
5) evenly comb through the hair
6) flat iron sections and do the same to top half

Using the thermal spray will keep your hair silky soft. does not make it sticky, but natural looking and FEELING fabulous! You can buy the thermal spray in most hair salons... pricier than a normal product, but WAY worth it!

This is what I recommend to all who wants to have a nice, silky, and straight effect -

1. Shampoo, wash, condition your hair
2. Blow dry hair
3. Apply a small amount of Matrix Sleek look products
4. Use the Sedu straightener

My favorite thing to do is let my hair dry naturally, then flatiron the top layers and the front. All the hair you can see is smooth and frizz-free, and the curly hair underneath gives me great volume.

I found that using Kerastase Oleo-Relax Serum, as well as the hair bath (shampoo) and conditioner (hair masque) makes my Asian/African-American textured hair really soft, shiny, and bouncy. This serum will not leave your hair sticky or stiff after you flat iron, but incredibly natural! It's so great to use with this amazing flat iron!!!

I use John Frieda's Frizz-ease steps 1-5 (shampoo, conditioner, frizz ease serum, wind down creme and the secret weapon). I blow dry with an ionic hand held dryer befor using the iron and follow it with a shine spray by got2b. I get perfect, sleek and straight hair every time.

The key to stick straight hair is a good blow drying before flat ironing. Although some people do not like to blow dry, it aids in laying the cuticle down. I suggest using a comb attachment when blow drying--it makes the job easier and yields better results.

Also, do not use to much product. Flat iron sprays with alcohol can cause thick hair to frizz and have static. Just using a simple light oil will be sufficient. My stylist uses the BioSilk Silk Therapy, but if you don't want to pay much, try Proclaim Natural 7 oil (small amount), and the Proclaim spray on glosser after you finish. These products are effective, accessible (can find them at Sally's), and affordable.

Invest in a great protein shampoo and conditioner. Silk, and wheat protein is best. Keratin might dry the hair out if used to often. Best wishes!!
