How To Straighten Thick Hair

I'm just going to put in some oily relax serum, just to get it quite smooth. Work that through from middle to ends. Don't put it on the roots because it can get quite greasy.

Work it all through the hair. Now, we're going to start blow drying the sides. Always use a nozzle for your hair dryer, it gets the heat quite hotter so the hotter the air, the faster you can blow dry and the more smooth you can get it.

So I'm going to take a diagonal section from the back to the front. Keep your sections small and neat, it's easier to work with. To begin with, I am going to use a dead man brush to pull out the curls from the roots, starting from the roots working all the way to the ends.

It's important which direction you get your nozzle in, keeping the heat sliding along the hair and the brush. Also, afterwards, attach the previous section and just blend it through. That takes out any excess body in there.

I always use the Kerastase serums to just get that smooth finish because her hair is quite frizzy. Anybody, you're going to lift the hair, that is going to create body. We want to take it out, so we're going to keep it smooth.

We're going to start creating a little body through the back here; so what you're going to do is you're going to lift the hair with the dead man this time to create body, but still pulling it to pull out kinks in the roots. Then, catch all the sections and through the middle and to the ends only, you're going to smooth them all into one section, it gives a nice sleek finish. As you can see, I am going quite slowly because it gets a better finish on the hair.

So we are going to straighten it now with a GHD Iron, and again, I am going to take the same sections with my grip in small neat sections, roughly about an inch. I'm going to use a comb, to comb my sections, keep it neat and tidy. Placing the GHD in at the root and slowly with strong tension straight through to the ends.

When it comes to the ends, give it a slight bend. Going to swap over to the other side and from top to last, keep that body in there, keeping the hair straighter gliding along at a slow pace, straight through to the end, so when you come to the top, you want to keep all that body that you have just created. So now, you are going to lift the hair with the GHD slightly, using your comb to hold the hair.

I used a heat protectant also today that keeps it from the heat of the GHD and gives a nice smooth finish also. This is how you straighten long thick hair. .
