the Price of Temporary Hair Straightening

If you still want to wear your naturally curly or wavy hair straight for a special day or evening, then it is better for you go for the temporary straightening. It may not be as easy as you might like to accomplish but it does minimize long term risk to your hair. The technician can do it in 6 steps:

1) Shampoo your hair. Avoid using a rinse out conditioner unless your hair tangles easily or you have damaged ends.

2) Rinse shampoo and any conditioning products well.

3) Use a light detangling spray on any dry or damaged ends and any part of the hair that naturally tangles.4)

5) Start at the front of your head, near the forehead and part your hair towards the back of your neck. Using a wide-toothed comb or large pick, carefully part and separate your hair into 4-6 equal parts of hair thickness. If you have thin and/or fine hair, you will probably only need 4 sections. If you have thick and/or full hair, you will probably need 6 sections.

6) Next, coat each individual section of hair with a good temporary straightening aid. Be sure to apply the balm or gel to your hands first and then apply with your fingers to get an equal distribution of the product. Apply a little more straightening lotion on the curliest or waviest parts of your hair.

7) After you have applied the smoothing lotion secure each of the individual hair sections with a fat jaw clip. Separate your hair on each side of a part into two top and tow bottom chunks. It is important to wind your hair sections into small tight twists. The hair twists will retain moisture and thus prevent your hair from air drying and becoming unruly. The tighter the twist, the more moisture your hair holds. This process guarantees maximum blow dryer straightening potential and even drying.

They did this to my hair in a salon.

I went to a hair salon and I followed the above procedure. I spent there almost 2 hours. The service was great and my hair straightening last for five days! It was perfect!

As you blow dry your hair, always be sure to direct the air flow of the blow dryer from the roots down towards the ends. This will smooth the hair cuticle and help it remain straighter.
