advice

Hey! 14/F

Well, last weekend my friend came over for a sleepover and she straightened my hair for me and it looked sooo nice! So, I bought a straightner but i really dont know how to make it look as good as my friend did it:/ She told me i have to do it in sections so i tried it about 3 times and i still cant get it to look the way i want it to look like. I have one of those cuts where its long in the front and short in the back:) very cute..and layerd but it gets to wavy sometimes(i have natural wave :/ ) So can anyone give me some steps on how to straighten my hair? thanks in advance!

First, make sure your straightener is heated up all the way and that your hair is completely dry.


Start by separating it into sections, just like your friend said. Take one section (maybe half an inch?) in the front, and clip the rest back so you can focus on only that piece.


Then, comb the piece of hair so there aren't any tangles or anything. Next, get the straightener as high on the piece of hair (as close to your scalp) as possible. Then, clamp it and slowly move down the piece of hair.


Repeat this, and then spray a little bit of hairspray in your hair. Just make sure you don't do sections of hair that are too big. Use sections that are a little smaller than 2 fingers width. That's what I do :)


Hope this helps!
