I believe that all curls are not created equal. There
are diverse hair straightening system for a same hair type, everybody
has their own system. Here are some tips for thick wavy hair.
Tip1:
First, shampoo with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. Then
blot your hair with an Aquis towel until is damp. Apply straightening
product, then dry hair on low/warm until it is a little dry. Then take
a large natural-bristle round brush and dry it section by section on
high heat. This takes about 20 minutes. Put some finishing cream on the
dry hair, then use a ceramic hair straightener and carefully press each
small dry section. Then put a little more finishing cream or serum on
the hair and it would good to go! You could wear this hairstyle two
days, tops. During the middle of the second day, wash your hair because
it starts to smell a little and it's dirty.
Fave products:
Biosilk Silk Therapy for styling and finishing, Bed Head After-Party
Smoothing Cream for finishing, Phytodefrisant, Kerastase Oleo-Relax
Serum, and Matrix Sleek.Look Extreme Cream for straightening, and
Redken Anti-Snap when you need some extra protection and strength.
Tip2:
Wash the hair with moisturizing shampoos (All Soft, K-Pak or
Nature's Therapy), then condition for at least five minutes with All
Soft, Frizz Ease Glistening Creme or Biotera. You could allow your hair
to air dry 15-20 minutes then spray in Aussie Hair Insurance, Jhirmack
HeatCare or Neutrogena Overnight Therapy, whichever bottle finds my
hand first. Then use Tresemme European Slick melting gel on your hair
from the ears down. This is a wonderful product and keeps your hair
virtually frizz-free even in high humidity. Dry your hair with a paddle
hairbrush and hairdryer, first "rough drying" then straightening each
section individually with the brush's tension. Finally mist a silicone
spray on the bottom half of your hair!
Wash my hair every 3rd or 4th day. You can stand wearing it down for three days tops and usually wear it up on the 4th.
Tip3:
Apply the product with your hair almost dripping wet, first apply
Redken straight, mixed with anti-snap and outshine. Then comb through,
next apply Modern Elixers styling serum mixed with a few drops of
glossing drops. Comb it straight then apply your make-up. Let it dry
for about 10 minutes. Blow dry upside down, shaking the hair. When it
is almost dry, begin using the round brush, starting in the back at the
nape with the rest clipped on top of your head. Bring down a small
section at a time and continue to dry.
These are basically the process I do on my clients also and they love these blow-outs.
