Some Straightening and Volumizing Ideas Straightening hair - To straighten hair as smooth as glass, apply a silicone based product such as Redken glass in moderation a little at a time, from the roots to the ends, then using a round brush of choice, and the nozzle on the end of your dryer. One method is to blow dry your hair section by section, preferably using 1/2 to 1 inch sections using your round brush to smooth and hold on the bottom of the section, curling the ends under or outward in a flip fashion. And run the nozzle down the hair section from the root to ends will greatly assist in straightening your hair to the desired finish.
Run the dryer down each section of the hair until dry. When hair is dry use cool air to seal the flat look. For the ultimate in flat hair, use a flat Iron. This method works especially well for keeping curly hair straight and less puffy. Remember to use a thermal straightener as well before you dry the hair. To prevent breakage comb your hair out from the ends to the roots. If you have the type of hair that tangle a lot, comb your hair out with the conditioner in your hair. The more patience you show here, the less breakage and split ends you'll receive. Don't rip your hair! You will see a difference. Towel blot your hair to get the moisture out, squeeze don't rub. All rubbing does is ruff up the ever so delicate cuticle layer on the outside of your hair shaft. One of the ways your split ends start. Apply a mouse or gel volumizer to the roots before you dry the hair, to create a foundation of volume for your style. This secret is especially good for fine hair. Flat fine hair can look great when using this method and using the flat iron, because the hair is flat but keeping more volume. Running your hands through your hair, while blow-drying with your head upside down increases volume. Try not using brushes until most of the moisture is out of your hair. This helps with less hair breakage and heat damage. If you have stubborn curl or frizzy type hair, you'll need to use brushes from damp to dry for a wavier style, and a flat Iron for straight styles. (as above) While blow-drying, allow you brush to cool off after applying heat from a dryer, this creates better hold for curling and the same rule applies for straightening. Hold the hair taught and straight. Apply heat until dry then apply cool air only when hair is completely dry, For support with your style when you have finished drying your hair, you can put hairspray in you roots for support, so the foundation will be stronger and supportive for fuller styles. Use a light spray such as Redken Shaper Plus Give your hair a break sometimes, try blow drying, flat Ironing and hot rollers a little less, so heat exposure to your hair is less damaging and you give your hair a chance to recover. Take this time to rejuvenate your hair and make an appointment with your hair stylist. I like metal-barreled ceramic round brushes because they heat up quick and cool down fast. For both curly and straight styling methods. Brushing your hair a lot is not good for it. If you are a brush fan. Remember, Brush until tangles are out and stop. The best brush to use for tangle removal is a board or paddle brush. If you want the natural oils to be enhanced in the hair try massaging the scalp in little circles, by keeping the fingers on the scalp and while stationary move in little circles. Do this all over the head to bring blood to the surface and feed the hair with the abundant nutrition and releasing your hairs natural oils. |
