How Do You Straighten Curly Hair?

Being curly haired, getting hair tips for curly hair was on Shirley Oakley's mind.

As her stylist Jen was pumping up the chair Shirley asked, "Is it possible to straighten my curly hair without killing it to badly? In other words how do you straighten curly hair best without damaging it?"

Jen patiently laid out some options.

"Well you COULD always go with one of the curly wavy hair cuts. Believe it or not there are flattering curly hairstyles. But I'll assume you wouldn't be asking the question you are if you wanted to go that route."

"Okay," Jen continued, "for one you can smooth out the curl by blow drying your hair and using a large brush. You want to take care to aim the hot air from the dryer down as you pull a given section of hair taut."

"While another of my famous "how to take care of curly hair" tips is to try a round brush. Which is ideal for pulling the curl out of your hair. Another option would be a vented paddle brush like the ones we've got on the shelf over there."

"I'd suggest you towel dry your hair by squeezing it into a towel or two first. Taking care not to rub it vigorously. That won't help."

"Also," Jen added, "if you can let you hair air dry a bit before starting, you'll cut down on the drying time. Which cuts down on any potential damage you might do. Just one of the secrets of styling curly hair to remember."

"Let's not forget straightening potions and balms. Finding the right styling product that works for your hair is key. Alterna is a nice, hemp based product you might try. It is a bit pricy but I've seen get awesome results using it."

Succeed in smoothing those curls and you'll be the envy of those in the office. Since straightened curls gives your hair some serious body.

In any case, blowing dry the curl out is one of the hair tips for curly hair the really work.
