There is several hair starightners out there. How ever it isnt really the hair starightner that does it. it is you and how you straighten your hair. I always use a fine tooth comb, hair clips, and the Remengtion wet to straight. first i wash my hair. Than I put a little moose in it. I devid it into three sectiions(top middle and bottom) I then devid the bottom section into two different ones so that i can reach the hair in the back. Clip the side you arent doing so that it dosent curl up and dry. Than you use your fine tooth comb on the hair you are starting with. Pull about an inch of width of hair from the back and than use the fine tooth comb on it. Run your fingers after the comb and keep the hair taught. Than set the straightner about a quarter of an inch from the base of the hair and work it slowley down the hair section in closed motion. repet this all the way around your head and work your way up the hair sections (middle, top) When you are all done straighting you hair brush it and see if there is any bumps or anything you wanna make starighter. Use the starightner to fix it. Than use a blow dryer on a cool setting to set the hair. This should be all you need to make your hair stay srtaight and PRETTY. O an fyi pull your hair from out from under your neck when you sleep this will make your style last threw the night and for the next 2 days or so. Happy straighting.

Straightening hair is easy once you get the hang of it. First off, make sure your hair is clean and healthy, so make sure you shampoo, condition and/or deep-condition your hair. Next try blow drying your hair straight. This will make your hair already fairly straight. Next, straighten. You may do sections at a time and hold back pieces with a clip, or flip you head upside down. To make your hair look even more sleek you could add a styling product such as a sleek 'n shine to make your hair look perfect in the end. Make sure that the heat settings are correct for your hair type, your hair is dry not wet, and take your time. Practice doing it this way before you got back to school and I'm sure that you will look great!

Well for me the shampoo and conditioner, i don't think it really matters to me. I use this thing called nexxus heat protection and i put it before i straighten. Don't drench your head in it though. Then clip your hair up and leave a little bit down to straighten and just keep doing it til your whole head is done!! and you shold be good. Hope i helped
