Method # 1
This is a well-known technique that is used for straightening hair without heat. It is the same technique that is also used for curling up the hair! Surprised? It is true, the method is the same but the execution makes all the difference. Check out the essentials first and then the procedure.

Essentials

• Gentle shampoo
• Moisturizing and moisturizing leave-in conditioner
• Setting lotion or hair gel
• 12 hair rollers in size 2 inch (plastic or magnetic or metal mesh)
• Roller pins and end papers
• Combs (medium-tooth and wide-tooth)

Procedure
In this method, we are going to adapt the basic roller pattern, that is helpful for rolling the hair in loose curls and hair that are a lot more straight. Wash the hair with the moisturizing and gentle shampoo and rinse the hair well. Divide the hair into six parts and start applying the conditioner. For that, take on section of hair in hands and start from the tips in the direction of roots. Repeat the same procedure with all the remaining hair divisions. Saturate the hair with the conditioner and untangle them with a wide-tooth comb. Cover the hair with a dry but smooth towel to get out the excessive water from the hair. Make sure that the hair are not dripping with water and again divide them into two sections.

Now, apply a moisturizing leave-in conditioner from tips to roots of the hair. Again comb the hair with the wide-tooth comb. With help of the medium-tooth comb, make the first section of hair and apply the setting gel to the hair. Place the end paper on the end of the hair and from the tips, start to roll the hair around the roller. Make sure the hair lay smooth on the roller surface. Secure the roller by using two and more roller pins. Repeat the same procedure for all the hair sections. If you roll the hair towards the face, it provides length. If you roll the hair towards the top of the head, it provides body. If you roll them towards the neck, it provides bounce. If the hair start to get dried during the process of applying the rollers, then wet them with water, just make sure that they are not dripping. Keep the rollers on overnight or an entire day. After that, remove the rollers and see the result!

Method # 2
Wash hair with a good quality hair clarifying shampoo, thoroughly. Then, apply a quality hair redemption solution. Hair redemption solution is a well-known hair product that treats the hair with protein, that strengthens as well as conditions the hair. Leave it on the hair for about 20 minutes and prep the hair well and make sure that it is 100% dry. Now is the time to apply the hair activator, for that, saturate the hair completely with the activator. One precaution you need to take is to keep the hair wet, all the time, during the application of the activator.

If they dry, you will have to reapply it all over again. You can let the hair be dry and wear the way you like them to be. This method is easy for those who are willing to use the flat iron. Make sure you perform this method and then go to the hair stylist, this way, you can save money as well as health of your hair.

Using hair straighteners that don't damage hair and some good quality hair straightening shampoos are also some effective ways to straighten hair. While to straighten hair permanently, there is a heavy usage of chemicals and heat. Straightening your hair with flat iron, is okay for only once in a while. Excessive usage of heat will surely damage the hair on long term. Using best hair care products and maintaining the health of hair by having a balanced diet and vitamins is also a must.

The last thing is, never straighten hair without washing them. I hope the article was useful for you. Stay beautiful!
