When you get an itch to straighten your hair, giving careful consideration to the products and method you use is important. Chemical straightening products, such as relaxers, can damage hair and make problem hair worse. You can temporarily straighten hair without chemicals by using a straightening iron and pomade. Expect your straight hair to last for up three days without washing your hair. Does this Spark an idea?
Shampoo and conditioner your hair as usual. Dry your hair with a hair dryer and comb your hair with a wide-toothed comb.
Apply a dollop of straightening serum to your hair. Many retailers offer natural pomades that are herb-based with no chemicals. Separate your hair into four sections and secure three sections with hair clips.
Plug in your straightening iron and allow it to heat up for one to two minutes. If you are using an iron with a heat setting, test the plate by clamping a paper towel for 15 seconds. If the paper towel burns, it is too hot and you should reduce the heat setting.
Take a lock of hair from the unsecured section and straighten it by working from the root to the tip of the lock. You may need to apply the iron twice to the hair for a straighter look.
Continue to straighten the whole section. When done, comb the section with a wide-toothed comb and start on the next section. Continue until all of your hair is straightened.
