I think this info might be of some use to ladies who don't know anything about the subject. I remember when I first started straightening my hair I was kinda clueless not much just a little. This is my advice from experience. Anyways its no science but I know some people do have trouble keeping their hair straight especially people with very curly hair.
Step 1. Soak ur hair in oil any oil coconut/olive oil. Nourish your hair a little especially since your going to put it through the inferno.
Step 2. According to John Frieda straight hair begins in the shower. That is soo true if u have curly hair then you should use a shampoo + conditioner for straight hair. John Frieda or Paul Mitchell are not only high end brands its not just for the name. They actually work which is the amazing thing unlike some products with tall claims that dissapoint they actually deliver. If you don't have super curly/curly hair then u can skip this step or at least use the conditioner along with whatever shampoo of ur choice. You might want to shampoo at least twice any traces of oil left back will fry your hair during the straightening process. Condition generously.
Step 3. Wrap ur hair in a towel or one of those terry cloth type towels designed for wet hair. But honestly a normal towel would do. Leave your hair wrapped in a towel for about an hour and a half. That's one 1hr 30min so that it can absorb all the excess water don't ever rush into combing & straightening if there's even a drop of water at the ends and blow drying is an unnecessary step if you have a wet to dry straightener/Flat Iron.
Step 4. Take down the towel now at this point all the excess water is absorbed you can now spray on a heat protectant of your choice. I like to use the ones that claim to protect your hair from 450 degrees of heat like Loreal Paris Color Vibrancy Dual Protect Spray which claims to keep your color from fading & protect your hair from heat damage. It works ok. I cant say that I have seen any noticeable results which is weird bcuz it looks like it has oil in it but left my hair dry but that's just my experience maybe it can work well for you. Never be discouraged to try something just because someone had a bad experience doesn't mean its going to be the same for you. So always use a heat protectant many people love Tresemme heat protectant spray plus its affordable. But if your not on a budget you should absolutely use John Frieda or Paul Mitchell products bcuz they work so good ok so go ahead and spray product evenly through your hair using let that sit for 2 min now gently start combing through ur hair starting from the ends working your way up to the top. Now you can section and begin straightening. Remember the higher the heat the better. That's what they do in the salon you walk in and they just pass it through in a jiffy and ur hair is gets straight like a needle. Please don't be afraid of heat. I know people whose so afraid of heat bcuz their hair is thin & fine and their deathly afraid that they might damage their hair or it might fall off or something please set ur straightener to the highest heat taking small sections of hair u want to pass ur iron over each section 2 to 3 times. Apply a serum to moisturize ur hair a little if u have oily hair don't use much but remember dry hair means brittle hair more prone to frizz and damage. Last thing spray evenly some hair spray through your hair and comb through if that didn't help then you didn't do it right lol. Bcuz im always right. :)
