Hair dryer and brush( instruction and video)

Straightening iron is not the only option. If you use a hairdryer and a brush, the result will be visible for the next 2-3 days, depending on how soon you are going to wash your hair again.

Special attention should be given to the choice of equipment. It is necessary to have a cold-drying regime and a special nozzle with a narrow slit. But even the most powerful hair dryer, designed for professional use, it is unlikely to straighten small elastic curls on hard hair. The maximum that you can achieve is a head resembling a dandelion.

Hairbrush for hair straightening, too, choose wisely, focusing on their length. The shorter they are, the smaller diameter of the brush you need.

than long hair, the bigger the diameter of the comb curly hair does not straighten in this way

To straighten the hair, you must first wash it or simply moisten it. To enhance the effect, you can apply a special tool for straightening in the form of a spray or foam. Next steps:

1. Collect hair at the nape of the high tail with a clip or clip, excluding the occipital and temporal parts of the head.
2. With a brush handle, separate the thin strands from the temples, raise them with a brush as close to the roots as possible and from the bottom up, direct a stream of warm air.
3. When the strand dries at the roots, gradually move the brush to the tips, stopping every 7-10 cm.
4. After finishing with loose hair, spread the tail and separate the next layer. Remove the remains again. So continue until you reach the top of the head. Hair on the parietal part of the head is straightened last.
5. If you have unruly hair or rather tiny curls of small diameter, fix each straight strand from the inside at the roots with varnish. Then lightly sprinkle the entire hair on top.

• Mask based on oils. In an equal proportion mixed refined olive, burdock and castor oil. The mixture is heated in a water bath to body temperature and brushed with a thin layer into locks starting from the roots. Then head tightly wrapped in a thick towel( under the bottom you can even put on a plastic bag) and stand for 45 minutes to 1.5 hours. To completely wash off the mask, you need to wash your hair with shampoo at least three times and rinse with cool water with lemon juice or citric acid.

• Colorless henna. Applying the powder according to the instructions, you can not only straighten the curls, but also solve the problem of dandruff and split ends. Henna thickens the hairs without changing their color, they become heavier, the curls become less pronounced.

Cosmetic products

Specialized stores offer a wide range of products for straightening hair without ironing. Sometimes these are whole lines. Most often cosmetic products are found in the following form:

• Smoothing cream. The texture is rather light, similar to a hair mask or a body lotion. Choose a product that the manufacturer placed in the vial with a dispenser. So you are guaranteed not to overdo it. The cream is spread evenly and in a very thin layer. Before applying it, you need to wash your head and wait until your hair is almost dry naturally."Side effect" - protection from the negative effects of sunlight and high temperatures. The disadvantage is not suitable for hair stained in any way. The paint "pushes" the cream outward, preventing it from penetrating the hairs. Harm from the procedure, of course, will not, but also the effect too.

• Smoothing serum. The consistency of the reminder resembles a not very greasy sour cream or vegetable oil, depending on whether it is a water or oil base. Apply it the same way as a cream. Serum is gently applied to damp curls, starting from the roots, and dried naturally or by a hair dryer.
• Fixing oil. Packed in small containers with an atomizer or pipette. It is dripping on your hands, slightly rubbing. The strands are clamped between the palms and slowly carried from top to bottom along the entire length.
• Leveling Sprays. Its essential disadvantage is the silicone base. Accumulating in hair, silicone destroys their structure. Silicone-based products should not be purchased by those who have thin hair and do not hold volume well. Spray for straightening hair can handle both dry and wet curls.

Before applying any of the listed products to the hair, carefully read the label. If as one of the components indicated ethyl alcohol, refuse to purchase. First, it dries very much, and secondly, it makes it difficult to achieve the desired effect.

Use several tools at the same time. This will enhance the effect and avoid habituation.
