Tips for Straightening Hair
Anyone can straighten their hair in less than a few minutes, or attain permanently straightened hair, which makes a person look stylish and trendy. Gone are the days when one used to spend hours in front of the mirror trying to straighten their hair with blow dryers, or pressing their hair against ironing boards to smoothen their hair.
Ways to straighten your hair
One has the choice to straighten their hair whichever way they like, either with a hair straightening iron, a hair straightening chemical, which changes the hair follicle permanently, making it straight or another latest chemical straightener from Japan, known as “thermal reconditioning.” However, it is important to check with stylists if they are experienced with the “Thermal Reconditioning” process, because it could lead to severe damage.
Tips to straighten the hair
- People should shampoo and condition their hair thoroughly before straightening as the hair undergoes harsh chemical treatment which damages the hair severely. The hair should be conditioned to prevent damage.
- A ‘strand test’ is always recommended before chemically straightening the hair, as one could test their reaction with the chemicals.
- After straightening the hair it is important to use a mild shampoo, and a deep conditioner to protect the hair.
- One should avoid the use of brushes or regular combs after straightening the hair. Only wide toothed combs should be utilized.
- The use of hot blow dryers should be reduced to prevent the hair from drying easily. One could use normal air dryers or serums to protect the hair from drying.
- Hair irons should only be used on special occasions as the heat strips the nourishment from the hair, making it rough and coarse.
- If the hair has already been processed, coloured or bleached it is advised to avoid straightening the hair, as it will lead to sever damage. Both may cause chemical reactions on the hair.
- One could apply a hair straightening balm, hair serum or gel to keep the hair straight for a longer period of time.
- Chlorine water from swimming pools should be avoided as they make the hair frizzy.
- People who already have straight hair should avoid further straightening, as it only leads to dry and frizzy hair.
- Straightened hair when washed should be dried with a towel, instead of a blow dryer.
