I wanted to make one point clear here, I know straightening your hair everyday is bad for your hair, but I came up with some pointers that would cause less damage to the hair if followed:

1 Wash your hair
Wash your hair using a mild shampoo appropriate for your hair type. Shampoo gently. Wet the hair thoroughly with water that isn’t too hot. Rinse with cool water to remove all traces of shampoo residue.

2 Apply a hair mask
Apply a small amount of hair mask to wet hair, concentrating on ends. Let it penetrate deeply for a few minutes and rinse thoroughly. The hair mask will nourish and replenish your hair leaving it with an improved texture, more body, easy to manage and with luminous shine.

3 Condition the hair
Use a conditioner following the shampoo. It’s essential because heat damaged hair needs more moisture. A conditioner will coat the hair shaft with a thin film that smooths down roughened cells and fills in the uneven surface. A good conditioner will feed the root and repair structure to prevent dry, breaking, frizziness and splitting.

4 Towel dry wet hair
Dry your wet hair with a towel to remove as much water as possible. Comb wet hair with a wide toothed comb but never brush wet hair and never rub it. Carefully part and separate your hair into sections.

5 Apply a heat protection spray
Applying heat-protection spray is essential, especially when straightening. These sprays are specifically designed to protect the hair from the heat when using straightening irons or curling irons and act as a barrier between hair and heat. Always spray the product before straightening your hair. Some of these products also help to straighten the hair, retain the moisture in your hair and protect hair from splitting. Put small amount of the product into your palms and smooth lightly over the tops of your hair.

6 Blow-dry your hair
Blow-dry your hair thoroughly. Hold the hair sections out taut and point the hairdryer down to dry it. Use the brush to pull the sections of your hair straight at the ends. Never expose one section of your hair to intense, sustained heat from the hairdryer.

7 Start ironing
Start ironing smaller portions, working your way up the head and set the right temperature for your hair. Apply even pressure and slowly move the iron down your hair. Avoid direct scalp contact to avoid potential burns and never pass the same section more than two times. Make sure you maintain an even, gentle tension on your hair.

8 Apply styling product
At the end apply hair serum, hair gel or hair wax but make sure you apply it evenly otherwise your hair may look limp and greasy. Use your fingers to carefully arrange your hair. The product will maintain your hair in the desired position and will help it last longer.
