How to Get Scarlett Johansson's New Bone Straight Look

Demetria Dixon
Scarlett Johansson is one of the most alluring young actresses in Hollywood . A combination of formidable acting chops, girl next door likability and pervasive sensuality. She recalls a bygone era of voluptuous Hollywood glamor. As something of a chameleon, she changes her look on a whim. Her crowning glory has been her hair which she wears in a variety of styles. Everything from lush waves reminiscent of Veronica Lake to her most recent bone straight style. Her versatility of looks further increases her appeal.

Because Scarlett's hair tends toward a finer texture, the application of hair color and use of heat implements can leave it looking over-processed and dried out. To guard against this, a weekly deep conditioner, like Dove's Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner, will help to restore lost moisture to the hair. Though Dove's line of hair products is relatively new, they work surprisingly well on a variety of hair types. Dove Intense Damage Therapy Conditioner restores shine, manageability and smells divine.

Most recently Scarlett's Johansson debuted a bone straight look that's getting a lot of buzz on the internet. Getting this look involves a great deal of heat being applied to the hair. Anytime you're going to be using a lot of thermal implements on the hair, then it is important to find products that will protect the hair from damage. Tresemme has a line - Tresemme Thermal - devoted to protecting hair from the damage of high heat.

Steal Scarlett's Look

1. To steal Scarlett Johansson's sleek, bone straight look, start by washing hair with Tresemme Thermal Recovery Replenishing Shampoo.

**Green Alert -Shampoos contain sulfates which have been deemed unfriendly to the environment by contributing to acidity in the atmosphere and facilitating the creation of acid rain. If you're fighting the green fight then try this great sulfate free alternative that still provides thermal protection, Aquage Protecting Shampoo.

2. Towel Dry and apply Tresemme Thermal Recovery Replenishing Conditioner. Allow the conditioner to sit on your hair for 3 to 5 minutes. If you feel you need more conditioning then you can do a deep condition now. Apply the Tresemme Thermal Recovery Replenishing Conditioner and cover the hair with a plastic shower cap and sit under a warm dryer for 10 - 14 minutes. Rinse and towel dry.

3. Follow this up with Tresemme Thermal Creations Straightening Gel. The gel works with the application of heat to produce a sleeker, shinier and straighter look. Apply a dime to a quarter sized amount of gel to your hand. Rub your hands together to activate the gel. Apply to hair and then blow dry as usual.

4. After hair is blown dry, it's time to flat iron. Separate the hair into small sections. 1/2 to 1 inch. The smaller sections result in the most effective straightening. Spritz each section with Tresemme Thermal Recovery Heat Tamer before flat ironing. This offers additional thermal protection and maximizes shine. Where possible, please invest in a ceramic flat iron like the Farouk CHI Flat Iron.

Why a Ceramic Flat Iron

Ceramic flat irons work by creating negative ions that react with the positive ions in the hair to eliminate frizz as well as seal and protect the hair shaft. Ceramic flat irons also provide more even heat across the entirety of the plates. You want to get a flat iron that has ceramic plates rather those with metal plates coated with ceramic. Those do not have as much ionic activity, therefore you will not get the best results. Over time the ceramic coating can begin to chip, resulting in snags and damaged hair.

5.Once you have finished your hair, smooth it with soft natural bristle brush.
