Everyone wants to look gorgeous I know.We have all gone through
countless wikihows that dont even work! Well look no further after
you've completed all the steps all you'll need to worry about is if
your looking TOO pretty.
Steps
- Get the hair.(this is if you want straight hair) First off give
it the color.Try getting it a light brown color.Then get the
style.Get extensions so that you're hair goes to the top of your
rib cage if you have short hair. You will want it to be almost
completely straight you can do this by
- Investing in a quality flat iron. For very long hair you can
opt for the wider paddle flat iron but the thinner flat irons will
give you more flexibility and it works on long and short hair
styles. Ask your hair stylist what brand they recommend. Avoid
those sold in drug stores if you will be flat ironing regularly.
The ones available through your hair stylist or a beauty supply
store will last longer and will be less damaging as they have
better heating surfaces and more temperature control options.
- Invest in a protective spray for your hair. These are sold
almost everywhere and they smooth and soften while you flat iron
while protecting your hair from thermal damage. This isn't
mandatory but it will help.
- Wash your hair and condition it as you normally would. Flat
ironing hair can dry hair so use a deep conditioner or leave your
regular condition on for a few more minutes than usual.
- Using a microfiber towel or your regular towel try to get as
much moisture out of your hair as possible.
- Spray on an instant spray leave-in conditioner.
- Use a wide tooth comb to part and comb your hair. If you
normally don't have a part do the best you can.
- Dry your hair using a hair dryer and use a paddle or vent brush
to get your hair as straight as you can while blow drying it.
- Brush dry hair to eliminate as many knots as possible.
- Put the top half of your hair up into a bun.
- Divide the bottom half of your hair into small, thin sections.
For best results use sections that are 1-2 inches wide and only
about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spray the hair protective spray over the section of hair and
run a comb through it to remove all knots. Hair without tangles
will straighten better. The heat protective spray and the leave-in
conditioner will usually help with tangles also.
- Hold a a section of hair with one hand and use the other to
clamp the flat iron as close to your roots as possible. Hold the
hair firmly in the flat iron.
- Pull the flat iron over the small section of hair in one fluid
movement. If it isn't completely straight, that's OK, pull it
through again.
- Don't move jerkily while pulling the flat iron through your
hair. It will leave horizontal lines indented in your hair and you
will need to go over the hair several more times to remove
them.
- Don't be alarmed if you see steam rising from the iron or a
sizzling noise. The plates are very hot and there may be some
moisture left from the wash in addition to the sprays. This is
normal.
- continue to move around your head straightening small sections
all the way around as you go. Then take down the rest of your hair,
tie the bottom half, and straighten that portion.
- Examine your work in a mirror to make sure you didnt miss any
sections.Dont forget to check the back.After,put on an antifrizz
spray.
- Next look at your face.Start by
- Stepping into a sauna for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure you
are dry when you get into it and drink a full glass of ice water to
stay hydrated and immediately wash your face with a non chemical
facial cleanser.
- Moisturise if you have tightness in your skin. Use a non
chemical moisturiser.
- -30 minutes later you will notice that you will be really
good-looking, without any makeup! Th
