Step 1: Shampoo and condition your hair.
You'll need to start with wet hair, so shampoo and condition as normal.
If your hair is on the dry and frizzy side, be sure to use a good moisturizing conditioner to protect it from your heat styling tools.
If your hair is extremely dry, you might want to do a deep conditioning treatment prior to straightening it.
Shampoos and conditioners with natural ingredients are easier on your hair.
Consider using products that are sulfate and silicone-free to keep your hair healthy and damage-free, especially if you plan to straighten it often. -
