Fashion for straight hair appeared about 50 years ago. Since then, she then leaves, then returns again and the owners of charming curls begin a desperate struggle for even hair. Often they are lost, and do not know which methods of straightening hair to give preference.
The most simple and affordable way to straighten hair is a special iron, or a classic ployka. But he, along with obvious advantages, has a number of shortcomings, the main one of which is hair damage. This is especially noticeable if you use an iron more than 2-3 times a week. Yes, and its rare use is also not a panacea, with time hair will lose its luster and elasticity, and to return the hair the former look will have to work hard.
Therefore, we want to introduce you to alternative ways, how to straighten hair without ironing and without curling.
What means straighten hair?
You probably know that there are several ways to straighten hair. They can be divided into thermal and chemical. Thermal often means the same iron, ployka or hair dryer, and under the chemical - the effect of sodium hydroxide. The latter at home is very problematic.
Chemical method of hair straightening
To do this you will need a special hair straightener. It acts by analogy with a chemical wave, but only vice versa. This method is not recommended to be used independently, and that's why. There are several types of rectifier, and which one is best suited to your hair knows only the master. The choice of the rectifier is affected by the thickness and degree of waviness of your hair, the presence or absence of color, the condition of the scalp. The chemical method gives a lasting effect, in contrast to the thermal, but also the hair damages more. Therefore, it is better to find out how to straighten hair without a chemical rectifier.
How to straighten hair with a hair dryer?
This method of straightening hair, although it refers to thermal, however, it causes much less harm to the hair than the use of ironing or curling. The fact is that when the hair is leveled with a hair dryer, the heat source itself does not touch the surface of the hair. This is already a big advantage. But this method has its drawbacks. For example, not every woman knows how to straighten her hair with a hair dryer, in this case you need skill and considerable practice. Secondly, the result of this straightening is kept less than when leveling with an iron, while the straightening process itself takes longer.
But back to the process itself. Straighten hair better immediately after washing your head while they are still wet. First on the hair, we apply a styling agent, gel or conditioner that you do not need to rinse. Then, using a hair dryer with a flat nozzle and a round hairbrush, start straightening your hair. In this case, pull the hair down the comb, and follow the comb with a jet of air from the hair dryer (better that the air temperature is not too high, this affects the degree of damage to your hair). These movements are repeated until we reach the desired result. It is better to align each strand separately, and not all hair at once. After that, we apply a fixative to the hair, so they stay flat for longer.
How to straighten hair without ironing folk remedies?
You probably saw more than one television advertisement that promised direct and beautiful hair thanks to shampoo (conditioner, balm, etc.). In practice, it turns out that these products work only in conjunction with chemical or thermal hair straightening, and are only an auxiliary tool.
Still there is information that you can straighten your hair with masks for hair, or colorless henna. But these funds will not help you to get absolutely smooth and smooth hair. They only thicken the hair itself, and under the effect of gravity slightly straighten it.
