Straighten Up!

Okay, my friend Beverly over at http://beverly-rucker-town.blogspot.com/ asked me how I get my naturally curly hair to go from this:

To this:

So I thought I'd post what products I use in case anyone else is interested too. I know what a chore getting curly hair to go straight is (without it being insanely frizzy) so it's taken some time, but I believe I've got a good set of tricks up my sleeve now.

Here it is:

#1. You need a big, fat, bristly round brush.

#2. You need a good, quality ceramic straightening iron.

#3. After washing, put some of this Joico K-Pak smoothing balm in your hair. (sold only at salons)

#4. Brush your hair constantly while blow drying. Once dry, add some spritzes of this Herbal Essences Dangerously Straight Flat Out Finishing Spray.

#5. Straight iron your hair section by section starting with the underneath first and ending with the top layer.

#6. Finish off with a bit of this Garnier Fructis Fiber Gum (putty) to the ends of your hair to kind of "chunk" it together and not have a zillion frizzy strands.

Then lastly, I usually put a quick spray of Dove Hairspray over the top...just to keep it in control..but never enough hairspray that it feels crunchy.

Hope that helps for those of you who were interested! If you have any secrets about hair...(or make up for that matter) please do share!!!
