How I Straightened My Natural Hair With SharkBeauty SmoothStyle
As a lazy naturalista focused on hair health over length, I don’t straighten my hair often, but when I do, I make sure to take steps to protect it. Here’s the process I used to achieve sleek, straight hair for the event while keeping it healthy:
- Prep with a Good Wash
Before applying heat, I started with a clean base. I used a moisturizing shampoo and deep conditioning mask to ensure my hair was hydrated and ready for styling. Healthy hair always starts with moisture! - Apply a Heat Protectant
This step is a must when using any hot tools. I used a lightweight heat protectant spray to coat my strands and shield them from heat damage while straightening. - Blow Drying
After sectioning my hair, I blow-dried it using the tension method to stretch the curls out before flat ironing. This is key to reducing the amount of heat needed later. - Flat Iron Time
I took small sections of hair and ran the flat iron through each section slowly. I kept the temperature at a moderate level to avoid any excessive heat damage. - Seal and Shine
To finish, I applied a light serum for shine and to lock in the straight style. This also helps protect the hair from any environmental humidity.
