1. How often do you straighten?

2. How long does it take you to straighten?

3. What products do you use to straighten?

4. What kind of techniques do you use?

5. 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.
