Sheesh! Is your hair curly or wavy before straightening? You`d never tell from the picture. Most impressive :-)

I straighten my hair using a real iron.. its the only thing that takes 5-10 minutes and the only thing that works.. my hair is straight unfrizzy flat and shiny. i`ve been doing it for a year and i need trims to get rid of dead ends because its not the best thing for your hair but thats ok it works so good

when your hair is dry plug in your iron and set it at a medium heat
make sure your hair is all brushed
and first lie on your back and brush stroke then run the iron over till its straight then on your right side then stomache then left side i garentee your hair will be perfectly straight

Do you prefer to wear your hair curly or straight? Thanks!!! My answers: 1. I straighten about every 2-3 days, depending on how clean my hair stays after every blow-out. 2. When I really take my time, it takes about 35 minutes. When I rush, like this morning, it takes 20 minutes, but looks bad. :-) 3. I love using different products! This morning, I used Biolage Hydrating shampoo (MY FAVORITE), KMS Hair Prepare conditioner (my fave conditioner so far..), Thermasilk Weightless Frizz Fighter, and Citre Shine Straightening Balm. And so far, my hair looks really nice, just a lil frizzy and wavy in the back where I didnt have time to properly dry it. 4. I clip up my top layers and the hair in the back and make sure to dry the bottom COMPLETELY so my hair doesn't look like a total mess if I don't have time to properly dry the top layers. 5. STRAIGHT! I have naturally wavy hair with some tighter waves and loose curls in the back but it looks horrible whenever I air-dry. Like a rats nest. LOL.

1) I straighten whenever my hair starts to frizz or gets waves, depends on the weather I guess.
2) It takes me 15-20 minutes to straighten my hair with the blowdryer and a big paddle brush.
3)The products I use to straighten is I apply Physique spiral creme and Physique straight shape lotion which helps gets the wave out!
4)I just leave my hair down wet (comb out fully before) and just blowdry and brush each side of my head carefully.
5)I prefer straight because straight hair makes me happy:) Enuff said!
