After straightening the strands with a hair dryer, you can get the perfect result, but this process will take longer than using an iron. In addition, the result will last less.

- Pre-wash your hair in the usual way, not forgetting to use a balm. He will make the curls obedient and soft.
- Dry the strands with a towel and comb with a fine-toothed comb. Then apply thermal protection and styling product to the curls.
- Dry the entire mass of hair lightly with a hairdryer.
- Part the top of the curls, leaving the bottom third of the hair free. Fasten the rest with a clip at the crown.
- Select a small strand and brush under it at the base. Run the comb from top to bottom, while gently curling the strand. At the same time, direct a stream of hot air to the strand from above.
- So treat the entire lower part of the hair.
- Then separate the other section of the hair by removing the clip and treat it in the same way.
- Repeat with all hair until all hair is dry.

If you have neither the time nor the desire to straighten your hair on your own every day, then you can turn to professionals for help. We are talking about chemical or keratin straightening of the strands.
With chemical straightening, the hair is treated with a special compound that affects the structure of the hairs with the help of ammonium thioglycollate, guanidine hydroxide and similar substances. After this procedure, the hair remains smooth for two months. The disadvantage of this method is that it is very harmful to the hair.
Keratin straightening treats the hair more carefully. In this case, the strands are covered with a composition containing a liquid keratin... After a four-hour procedure, you can admire perfectly straight strands. The disadvantage of this procedure is its high cost.
There are homemade ways to straighten your hair without being exposed to heat. You can simply apply a styling agent to damp hair after shampooing and dry the strands naturally. From time to time, go over the curls with a comb, pulling them down.
If your hair is short or of medium length, large Velcro curlers will help to straighten them. Apply styling product to damp curls and wrap on curlers. At the same time, try to wind the strands evenly, you can use invisibility to fix it. Wait until it dries completely, remove the curlers and comb the curls. The disadvantage of this method is that the curlers cannot be rolled overnight.

Straightening agents, of course, are not able to radically solve the issue and make the strands perfectly straight. Their purpose is to facilitate the installation process.
Use of special shampoos for straight hair makes them obedient and to some extent straightens curls, thanks to the presence of "weights" in the composition. These include silicone, panthenol, oils, lauryl sulfate and other chemical compounds. The effect of this shampoo lasts until the next washing.
Another way to straighten curly strands is a special cream. It is applied to dried curls along the entire length with a brush. The result of exposure to such a tool will be noticeable only after complete drying, which takes up to 40 minutes. The cream simultaneously protects against high temperatures and nourishes the curls. Therefore, after applying it, you can use an iron if the result of the procedure is not entirely satisfactory.
Also, a special smoothing serum acts as an independent or additional styling agent. This substance covers the hairs with a special film, which makes styling easier and fixes the result. The product is applied to wet strands from top to bottom and dried without a hairdryer. Once completely dry, the hair can be pulled out with a hairdryer.
