If you want to know how to straighten hair, you’ve come to the right place! This is your guide to getting the timeless look of sleek straight hair that’s smooth, manageable, and high on shine. It’s not hard to learn how to straighten hair, plus you can choose from three different techniques: with a flat iron, without a flat iron, or without heat. Let’s get straight to it!
Sleek straight hair has been a go-to style for ages. It gives off an air of carefree polish and effortlessly lends itself to a wide variety of easy hairstyles. Straight hair also appeals to anyone who wants perfectly smooth tresses that reflect maximum light.
One of the biggest reasons to straighten hair is easier maintenance. It tends to produce fewer tangles, plus it’s quick to braid to create textured shine or put up for work and formal occasions. The smooth surface also makes sleek straight hair look amazing in a low, mid or high ponytail.
Depending on your natural hair texture, straightened hair can get heat damage, go frizzy or react to humidity. But you can minimize damage by choosing the right technique below for your type of hair and using straight hair products from the Sleek & Shine line.
You’ll get the smoothest sleek straight hair with the heat method, but that heat increases the risk of damage. So always remember to protect your hair during the process to keep it healthy. Follow these six steps for all hair types, even the curliest.
If your hair is stubbornly prone to dry flyaways and frizz, the extra heat of a flat iron may not be ideal. This alternative method for getting sleek and straight hair only requires a blow dryer.
You can definitely straighten hair and keep your tresses healthy by avoiding heat. The no-heat method is also the easiest!
The keys to getting sleek straight hair is to eliminate frizz and create maximum shine. Garnier has formulated a complete solution called Sleek & Shine that delivers up to 72 hours of smooth hair and frizz control. Enriched with argan oil and vegan keratin, this line of sleek hair products offers a total straight hair routine.
For long-lasting smoothness, start your journey to sleek straight hair in the shower with Sleek & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. Over time, you’ll notice that using them regularly will improve shine and manageability.
If you use one of the straightening methods that requires hot tools, always remember to protect your hair with a heat protectant. A straightening mist like Flat Iron Perfector Heat Protectant Spray is your best ally.
To add the final polishing touch, apply some Sleek & Shine Anti-Frizz Serum. It also protects your sleek straight hair from high humidity up to 97%.
Once you’ve achieved the sleek straight hair of your dreams, you’ll want to maintain the look for as long as possible. That means continuously controlling frizz and amping up shine. Sleek & Shine Anti-Humidity Hairspray does both while giving you 24-hour hold.
