What products do they use and what products can i use to eliminate frizz and make my hair shiny and softHow can i get my hair straight like the salons do?
Invest 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. Wash your hair thoroughly and make sure your hair doesn't feel stringy or you stayed in the shower/bath too long that made the moisture from the conditioner wash off.


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. Use one of the blow-dryer extensions so you can put the blow-dryer up closer to the hair and brush.


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 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. The repeated passes to remove these lines can cause damage to your hair.


Don't be alarmed if you see steam rising from the iron or if you hear a sizzling noise coming from it. 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 didn't miss any sections. Don't forget to check the back. Now is the time to go over any missed spots or any place that is particularly frizzy.


Play with your hair to style it. You may need to flat iron pulling the section in another direction to get it out of your face or to help it style a certain way.


Continue to style your hair but avoid spraying water or adding mousse. The water content will cause your hair to curl back up or frizz immediately.


Consider using a curling iron for adding subtle curls or doing sassy flips or simply just wear it straight. Use a hair spray for humidity if you live in a humid area. Your hair will be prone to frizz with the moisture in the air.





Congratulations! You've gone from curly to straight! Enjoy your new style and have fun with it.Add a small amount of silicone based hair shine solution. Add only a few drops and rub between your hands and then smooth over hair. Adding too much is very easy and your hair will look greasy.





Remember your umbrella!Keep an umbrella handy. Rain will undo all your hard work and leave you with a frizzy mess. Also carry a headband with you in the summer to keep the perspiration from your bangs.


Wash your hair and it will return to normal. Repeat steps.

Go to a local beauty supply store, like Sally's or Ulta and get some professional shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, and hairspray. Leave-in conditioner makes your hair very shiny and soft. Chi is a great straightener.

DIRECTIONS:





Wash your hair with the shampoo and conditioner. Let it air dry or blow dry if you wish. Add the leave in conditioner while you are blowdrying or before you straighten. Straighten your hair when it is completely dry. Finally spray the Enjoy hairspray all over your hair for extra shiny hair. Voila!
wash your hair then take a blow dryer on high and brush your hair while blow drying


when brushing your hair do it in an x shape back and forth over and over till its dry


this is called blowing out your hair and after that you can straighten it .


then i take leave in conditioner i know it sounds funny but use the stuff that's meant for damp hair and just take a little and brush it threw your hair


good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!
get a straightener that has vitamins in it. then, put the top layer of you hair up, and do the under parts. then let the top layers of your hair down and straighten them too. to get it in a messy style, flip your head upside down and it will look great
