My hair is long, straight, shiny, and feels like silk. The style lasts for days, even in extreme humidity. The secret: using hair serum when your hair is wet before you blow-dry, after you blowdry and before you straighten, and after you straighten. Sometimes after a few days, if I want to change it up I will curl the ends.
As I stated in previous posts, I use Babyliss Pro Nano 2 inch Hair Straightener, Tresemme Keratin Infusing Smoothing Serum, and L’Oreal Sleek It Iron Straight Heatspray.
Directions:
1. Apply 3-7 pumps of serum on your ends while hair is wet. It may seem like a lot, but it is much needed.
2. Blowdry hair- rough blow dry- takes approximately 10 minutes. Apply the heat protectant to each section (should be 10-20 sprays) and blowdry to ensure there is no damage when you go to straighter.
3. Apply more serum (again, 3-7 pumps) to your ends. Your hair may feel greasy- do not worry! It will feel like silk once you straighten it! I promise!
4. Straighten- I put it on 35-40 (the hottest is 50). Put your hair up, take small 1-2 inch section of hair and slowly straighten it. Go very slowly- you will only need one or two passes to get your hair straight. I like to curl the ends a bit so it isn’t so straight. Sometimes I use a round brush to set the heat in a curl at the end so its not too straight. Repeat until you do all your hair.
5. Apply more serum. I also like moroccan oil, but the serum works.
