Items Needed

• Shampoo


• 1/2-1 inch flat iron


• Serum


• Wide-tooth comb


• Rat-tail comb


• Hair Dryer


• Towel


• Styling clips

1.Wash your hair with shampoo. If you have naturally curly or wavy hair, use a shampoo that is made for your kind of hair. This shampoo will help guard against frizz when you are trying to straighten it.

2.Towel Dry your hair. Do this by patting the hair dry. Try not to scrub it since it will roughen up the cuticles of your hair. 

3.Using the wide-tooth comb style your hair into how you want to wear it when it is dry. If you want wear your hair parted to the right, now is the time to make that part. Use the rat-tail comb to make your part as straight as possible.

4.Blow-dry your hair using the wide-tooth comb. Try to blow dry it into the style that you want so if your hair is parted to a certain side blow-dry it and keep that part set.

5.Section your hair. Once it is dry and still set in the style you want section it off. Sectioning can be done by separating hair with clips. You can make as many or as few sections as you like but most people just section their hair into quadrants. 

6.Unclip one section of hair. Using the rat-tail comb start with that bottom of the section and separate a section of the hair. Clip the rest of the section back up.

7.Take your flat iron and from the root of the hair drag it across that piece. If you want to create body, direct the iron perpendicular to the head before twisting it down towards the soldier.

8. Separate the next piece of hair in that section and repeat step 7. Do this with all the sections of the hair until it is as straight as you like it. 

9.Take a nickel size amount of serum and distribute it through your hair by using your fingers as a comb.
