The best way to achieve the look you want is to start by using a moisturizing shampoo & conditioner. I recommend Frederik Fekkai glossing shampoo & conditioner. Blowdry your hair using a round brush, then go over it with the ceramic iron. While using the ceramic iron I would recommend that you use a serum of some sort. It will provide some protection against the high heat and it will give you lots of shine and won't weigh your hair down. I would recommend Kiehl's silk groom serum.
I hope this helps.

Your flat iron will do the trick! Just make sure you are protecting your hair by washing and conditioning properly. Use a heat protectant. After I've finished flat ironing my hair I will put a light coat of Wild Growth Oil to create that sheen that the girls in those pictures have. ------------- CHECK OUT MY PHOTOS! http://public.fotki.com/quietladyflash/ - My Fotki Album |
