No hairstyle is more chic and timeless than a sleek, straight ‘do.

My once luscious curls were dry and brittle, and the frizz was unmanageable.

Straightening over-processed hair
Stylist Holly Munro of Art Is…
The hotter it is, the faster it’ll do its job… right?
Everyone’s hair is different, so there’s no magic heat number.
The most common flat irons are either tourmaline, ceramic, or titanium.
If you have thicker hair, you may want to opt for a titanium straightener.
And finally, ceramic straighteners glide easily through the hair and provide quick and even heat.
However, you shouldn’t rely on them too heavily.
“Always, always use a heat protector,” urges stylist Angela Stone.
“This is a girl’s biggest mistake.”
Just remember to let it settle into your hair before applying heat.
Otherwise, it’llsizzle off under the heat.
Using the wrong shampoo and conditioner
Every hairstyle starts in the shower.
Unfortunately, a lot of hair products contain sulfates thatdry out your hair.
Anything that advertises smoothing, frizz-free components is your best bet.
