How do you straighten your hair?

Answer 1

Follow these steps to straightening your hair - The Right Way!

Choose one of the following according to how strait you want you hair:

Straight: First of all, comb your hair, making sure there are no knots.

Then turn on your hair straightener, and if you have temperature settings on your straightener, set it to the lowest (depending on how strait you want it)

Now gently, grab a small section of your hair, and put your hair in the straightner so that its not falling from it. Now slowly pull downwards with your straightener. So clamp your hair in the straightener at the top of your hair and pull downwards. Continue doing this all around your hair for midly straight hair.

Very Straight: Comb your hair, making sure there are no knots. Then, make sure you have some hairclips or something to hold your hair up. Grab the top section of your hair and pin it to the side so its out of the way. Now what you should have is the underneath section of your hair (the part you don't really see). Now comb it. Once that is done, get your straightener, if you have temperature settings, turn it onto medium or high depending on how straight you want it. Now gently grab a small section of your hair and clamp it in the straitner. Now slowly pull downwards. So you put the top bit of your hair in the straightener and you pull downwards. Continue doing this on both sides of your head including the back of your head (you should be doing the underneath sections of your hair before you do the top layer) Once all underneath hair is straightened, take out your hair clips and gently brush out any knots, even if you have none, brush it anyway. You are now ready to straighten the top layer. All you need to do now is exactly what you did with the underneath layer. Except you don't need to straighten the underneath layer again. So just make sure you arent straightening too much hair at a time. Do this to all of your above layer hair and you are done. Bush your hair, and straighten any bits which you think need re-doing.

TIP: Setting your temperature to high could burn your hair. Doing this can dry it out and/or cause split ends. Also, using your straightener everyday can cause this too.
