Ok many people wonder how to get beautifully straight hair. It is not that complicated. So here are the steps:

1. When you wash your hair make sure to shampoo and condition. Whether you use a two in one or separately you should condition.

*If your hair gets oily quickly you should wash and condition your hair almost everyday because oily hair will not straighten well.*

2. Once done cleaning, if your hair is really frizzy you should put a serum in to reduce the amount of frizz. I personally don't use them but if you need it they help.

3. Drying. Flip your head over and blow dry your hair facing up while using your fingers. You don't need to style it becuase you're going to straighten it anyway. Blow drying upside down helps because it gets alot of the spot we neglect, like our roots.

* Make sure your hair is COMPLETELY dry. If not what happens is the iron, because it is flat, just flattens the curl and sets it like that instead of straightening it.*

4. You should turn on your iron for a minute or two while blow drying or before you straighten to get it at the heat you want by the time you start using it. I like to separate my hair into three layers, doing the bottom first top last.
When you begin, start at the root and use a round brush or a fine tooth comb as your guide. The round brush is used if you want the ends rounded in or out. See below for tips on that. The comb is used to give you pin straight ends. Keep doing this process and bring down another layer when you've finished one until you're done with your whole head.

*The round brush can create ends that are curled in or out depending on direction. If you want the ends to be curled in towards you (my personal preference) you place the round brush under your the section of hair and when you reach the end turn it toward yourself. If you would like the ends curled out place yourround brush on top of the section of hair and turn the brush away from you at the ends.

5. Finishing. Some people do not need finishing but I like it because it adds the shine and silkiness I want from my hair. I use the John Frieda Secret Weapon Flawless Finishing Creme. It is awesome. I have also used the garnier sleek 'n' shine and I find that leaves your hair looking and feeling oily, it is better to use while hair is wet.

*Either put none or as little as possible product at your roots because it makes your hair oily.*

All hair types respond differently to different hair products so the products listed below are ones I have found to work amazingly with my hair type. Trial and error are the only ways to find what works with your hair.

1. While washing your hair using the best shampoos and conditioners for your hair type, remember to keep the conditioner in for 2 or more minutes. This prevents drying or damaging your hair. Also completely rinse out shampoo before you condition. This also leads to drying if not completely rinsed out.

2. Towel dry hair and either use a leave in conditioner along with a straightening product or just the straightening product.(The products that I find work the best on my hair which is slightly thick and very curly is Infusium 23 Original Leave-In Treatment for extra conditioning and either Redken Align #12 or Victoria's Secret Straightening Gel. These leave my hair beautifully straight and smooth once completely done.

3. I blowdry my hair with a Conair Ion 1875 watt drier with the direct flow attatchment on it (which comes with the drier) for direct heat and a Christophe large round brush made up of both boar hair bristles and synthetic nylon bristles to help smooth the hair while drying.

4. Either once I blowdry a section or all my hair COMPLETELY(I emphasize this because it is so important your hair is completely dry so no damage is done. Whoever says that you can iron your hair while it is damp or slighty damp isn't true. This causes severe breakage and damage!) I then heat up my Sedu iron to around 175-180 and used the round brush to guide my straightening.

5. Ocassionally people will use a polisher or finishing spray to smooth and seal the hair after, but I generally don't. My hair always comes out amazing after doing these steps, but finishing spray also works good so I never rule it out. Running your fingers through your hair a few times after you are done straightening will also naturally smooth out your hair.

Hopefully these tips help because I have never had damaged or dry hair. It has always come out incredible. And like I said earlier, the products listed are for suggestion only since different hair responds differently to certain products, but they have worked so good for me so I wish you beautiful healthy hair in the future!

After I explain to you how to tame your friz, you'll be looking fabulous in no time.

First, shampoo and condition. Don't rinse conditioner away so fast though, you need to give it about 3 minutes so in the mean time put a shower cap one over hair and wait 3 minutes. After 3 minutes is up, wash out conditioner. While hair is wet, apply any type of sleek and shine serum. (recomended: Garnier Fructis Sleek & Shine)

After a serum is applied, it is best to let the hair air dry so this is going to take some pre-planning.
When all of your hair roots, ends, and in between has dried, seperate your hair into four sections horizontially this way you have smaller sections to work with and there will be no wave or kinks to bother with. They will all be seen and able to be straightened.
When hair is finished, I recomend that you top off with a spray laminator. (recomended: citre shine shine mist)

Now your luscious locks will get anybodys attention and you will have the hair every body is asking about.
Hope my tips were helpful

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!

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.
