Re: For those girls that get their hair poker straight...
Begin with freshly-washed hair. I like to use the KMS range of products.
Blot hair dry removing as much moisture as possible. Do not rub your hair as rubbing will produce frizz.
Gently detangle your hair using a wide toothed comb. Your hair is very fragile while wet, a wide toothed comb will help prevent breakage.
Apply a straightening balm from mid lengths to end. (I never apply straightening products to the roots as this can weigh hair down) I like to use KMS Flat Out Straightening Creme. Comb your hair to distribute the product evenly.
Blow dry your hair with your fingers until it is 80% dry.
Pull your hair into three sections, two at the sides and one at the back.
Take a small section of hair from the clip at the nape of your neck. (Always start at the nape of your neck and work your way up)
Using a large round real bristle brush (although the size of brush will depend on length of hair) start blow drying the hair while pulling the brush through the hair from the roots to the ends. Pull the hair away from your head, stretching and straightening it as you go. Keep the tension consistent and evenly distribute heat over the section of hair you're working on. This ensures uniform hair texture and prevents over drying of certain areas.
Remember to Direct the airflow down the hair shaft as this will dry the cuticle flat giving added shine to your hair and avoiding the dreaded frizz.
Continue selecting and blow-drying small portions until all the hair is dry and smooth.
To achieve super straight, shiny hair you'll need to use your flat-iron. Select portions of hair, as per blow-drying directions.
Spray KMS Flat Out Hot Press Spray to each section as you go and slide your heated flat-iron along hair, beginning close to the roots and making your way to the ends of hair, repeating if needed to fully flatten hair.
As a finishing touch apply a shine serum from the mid length to ends. I like to use the KMS Flat Out Smoothing Serum.
Hope this all makes sense
