Secrets to Getting Super Straight Hair

So how to get your hair straight and sleek? Here are some tips:

1. Wash hair first. You’ll get better results if you don’t start with already dried hair.
2. Towel-dry hair so it’s barely damp. This cuts down on drying time.
3. If you have wavy hair, spritz a straightening product on hair (I like Bumble and Bumble’s straightening spray) or a smoothing cream. Glamour magazine recommends Pantene Pro-V, which you can find at any drugstore.
4. Dry hair with a paddle brush pointing the nozzle downward. You want to avoid adding body to hair, so don’t “fluff” as you dry. You’re aiming for stick straight hair. You want it to hang like a curtain.
5. Follow with a flat iron. Start at the hair closest to the nape of the neck, ironing in small sections.
6. Finish by running a shine serum through hair. Skip this step if you have oily hair.
