Get Your Hair Straight & Sleek

Women with curly hair can go through many products to get that perfectly straight look without satisfactory results. With the following tips your hair straightening process will become much easier.

Getting the best straightening results starts with the right shampoo and conditioner. You can go with a salon product such as Artec Textureline Smoothing line which runs about $12 per bottle or you can go with a much cheaper alternative from Suave called Professionals Sleek shampoo and conditioner for $2 each.

The best way to straighten your hair is to use a flat iron. Your straight hair can hold up much longer than blow-drying it out. The main problem women face is which flat iron to buy.

One of the best flat irons available on the market is the Chi by Farouk. This iron is by far one of the best on the market. The iron makes your hair super smooth and super shiny. It holds up to extreme humidity and even light drizzling. Many Chi models can run in the hundreds of dollars. However, you can find an original Chi model on www.amazon.com for $70.58 which includes free shipping. You can also read all of the high rating reviews left by hundreds of purchasers.

A good inside salon tip to best straighten your hair with your flat iron is to use a special comb. The flat iron comb helps to release your curls right before your flat iron smoothes out your hair. The best feature about the flat iron comb is the grip handle that doesn't allow the piece of hair that you are going over for the second time with your flat iron to burn you. You can find a flat iron comb at www.goody.com, their So Hot Flat Iron Comb runs for $6.99.

In order to protect hair from heat damage it is recommended that you use a straightening product before you begin to flat iron. A good product is TIGI Bed Head After Party Smoothing Crème which is about $18 at your local salon, Target and many online beauty websites. Use only a small amount of any cream product as overuse can lead to dampening your hair and reducing the effectiveness of a flat iron.

Using a finishing product is a great way to tame any frizzies or hairs sticking straight up from the flat iron. A couple good products are Artec Texture Shine & Frizz serum for $9 or the KMS Flat Out Humidity Seal for $15. To get a healthy, shiny look you can finish off with Bed Head Rush Shine Spray for about $15.
