1. Flawlessly straight hair is popular in today's leading
beauty circles. Yet straightening curly, frizzy, or downright
unruly hair into perfectly straight tresses can be a
challenge. Read on to discover straightening tips for even
the most stubborn locks.

2. Styling Tips for Straightening Hair

3. .1Start with a Good Blow-Out.

4. Following shampoo and conditioner, apply a product like
Frederic Fekkai's Ironless Silky Straight Serum on your
hair, focusing on the tips. Next use clips to separate your
hair into sections. Blow-dry each of these sections in
turn, beginning in the top, front layers and working to the
back, bottom sections. To manage and smooth each
segment, use a high-quality, round, natural bristle brush.
Philip B. offers several excellent brushes. To maximize
smoothness, clip the filter attachment onto your hairdryer.
Finally, the direction you aim matters; point the nozzle of
the dryer down the shaft, from the root toward the tips.
Focus on each section until it is completely dry.

5. This task can seem to take an eternity, unless you have a
fast-working hairdryer. T3's Featherweight model is ideal -
it uses infrared heat to boost manageability and shine, all
while drying hair up to 60% faster.

6. .2Time to Iron.

7. If your tresses aren't straight after blow-drying, you'll have
to use a straightening iron. Re-clip dry locks into sections.
Starting at the back of the head, gently guide the
straightening iron down each section. Avoid applying the
iron twice to the same segment. If this routine desiccates
your hair, try a higher-end straightening iron like made by
T3. This incredible tool uses negative ions to enclose each
hair cuticle in protective moisture.

8. Here's another timesaving tip: skip the blow-drying step
by using a steam straightener - again, T3's ManeTamer
model is exceptional. Steam technology allows such
straighteners to be applied to damp hair.

9. .3Form a Strong Heat Defense.

10. Over time, heat can cause hair to become dull, brittle, and
tough to manage. So, protect your hair with a product like
Oscar Blandi's Pronto Dry Heat Protect Spray. Oscar Blandi
has created a spray that defends hair against 450-degree
heat. The spray's keratin proteins also work to protect and
nourish hair. Just spritz this Oscar Blandi innovation onto
each segment of hair before applying any heated tool, and
enjoy radiantly healthy tresses despite the heat.

11. It's also wise to get into the habit of applying a weekly oil
treatment. Philip B.'s Rejuvenating Oil will do an especially
good job of augmenting the oil naturally produced by the
scalp.

12. A Natural Straightening Approach

13. Long before Frederic Fekkai and Oscar Blandi designed
their marvelous straightening solutions, ladies pined for
straight, smooth locks. They applied natural concoctions to
encourage straightness, and you can too, with our Lemon-
Coconut Milk Creme. Vitamins A and E in coconut milk cut
frizz, enhance softness and shine, and protect hair against
breakage. Lemon juice helps remove product build-up.
Begin by stirring lemon juice into a glass of coconut milk.
Stick the glass in the 'fridge until it takes on a creamy
texture. Slather this paste onto your hair, being careful to
saturate both the tips and the roots. Next, wrap a heated
towel around your scalp, and wait for a couple of minutes.
Rinse and shampoo. Style as you wish.

14. Or, just choose the easy route - apply Frederic Fekkai's
Ironless Silky Straight shampoo and conditioner.
