Complete Hair Straightening Routine
Step 1: Wash and Condition
Start with clean hair using a smoothing shampoo and conditioner.
Step 2: Apply Heat Protectant — NEVER SKIP!
Apply heat protectant to damp hair before any heat styling. Read our How to Use Hair Styling Tools Without Damaging Your Hair guide for full protection tips.
Step 3: Dry Hair Completely
Hair must be 100% dry before straightening. Straightening damp hair causes severe damage.
Step 4: Section and Straighten
Divide hair into 4-6 sections. Work from bottom to top, taking small sections (1-2 inches) for best results.
Step 5: Finish and Set
Apply a small amount of hair serum to ends for shine. Avoid touching hair for 10-15 minutes to let it cool and set.
