How to Straighten Hair
Many people find it difficult to manage the curly and unruly hair and look for different hair straightening techniques. However, if you don’t have a clear idea about how to straight hair, it is risky to try it yourself at home. The best solution is to find an expert hair stylist and take her suggestion in this regard. But, there are also some do-it-yourself methods of hair straightening that can give you good result.
1. The first method of how to straight hair include use of perm
- The first step of this technique is to part the hair into four sections with the pointed end of a comb.
- Hold one section of the hair, to begin from the back, with 1 inch wide. Hold the rest three parts at the top of the head with hair pins.
- Apply the perm on liberal portion of the section of the hair starting from the root towards the tip. Ensure that the scalp is protected from the perm. Gradually, use the perm all over the section of hair making it smooth. You need to be extremely careful about using the perm quickly and thoroughly. It is better to use protective gloves while applying.
- Use the same method on the other sections of the hair individually. Make your hair flat and smooth using the perm and leave the perm on your hair for recommended amount of time.
- While washing the perm, wash the hair with warm water followed by washing it with the neutralizing shampoo available in the perm kit. It is crucial to use neutralizing shampoo otherwise the chemicals can lead to serious hair loss.
2. Another way to straighten the hair is the permanent hair straightening process. Depending on the type of curl and the length of hair the time taken for the process may vary.
- Before applying this technique on your hair, spend time to evaluate the type of hair you have so that you can calculate the expected time the process will take.
- Shampoo your hair and keep it in the towel-dried condition.
- Divide the hair into sections and apply conditioning formula and protector on it.
- Depending on the texture of your hair, wait for 15-20 minutes.
- Use a professional flat iron to straighten the hair in several steps. Use the process on each segment of the hair individually.
- Apply neutralizer for at least 15-20 minutes to stabilize the hair and reset the bonds.
- Rinse the hair thoroughly with water and you are ready to style it after it is dried.
3. If the above methods of hair straightening are not suitable for you, there are other ways of how to straight hair. Different types of hair strengtheners are available in the market. Ceramic plated hair irons and titanium hair straightener are among them.
4. Flat irons are the perfect solution for those who don’t want to use chemicals. It is done by separating the hair into different segments, applying hairspray on each segment and then pressing the hair between the plates of the flat iron.
