Many people were puzzled with the trouble that how to use a hair straightener when they straightening hair at first time. As we know, the hair would be damaged easily during the hair straightening treatment, because of the heating, chemical products, dryness... So using a hair straightener in right method is important for our hair's health.
Start with clean towel dried hair. Add some product made for heat styling, like Loreal Hot Straight. If you have any frizz, you should better to consider using a de-frizzing serum. John Freida has an entire line devoted to this type of hair, and they are actually really good products.
Use a wide toothed comb to evenly distribute the product from roots to ends. Blow dry hair with a round brush, it may help to divide your hair into about 3-4 sections starting with the bottom.
Once your hair is dry, you can now straighten it. A lot of people just like to go in and straighten the whole side of their head, but if your hair is extremely thin, this method most likely won't work. Instead, section your hair off as you did while blow drying. You can section your hair into 4 sections, one on each side of your head. Or you can section your hair off in layers going up your head.
If you have very thick hair, we suggest you to section it into 5 layers. The key is to straighten as little hair as possible in one stroke. The less hair you have between your straightener is more hair that has the potential of becoming straight within one pass. You do not need to swipe the straightener repeatedly over hair, especially if your are observing your hair's health. 1-2 swipes should be enough with a good hair straightener.
Start working with the bottom layer of hair and work up to the crown, sides and bangs. If you have extremely curly hair, it could takes up to an hour for an amature, I take an hour, but my stylist takes 10 minutes, amazing isn't that? Anyhow, once your done, be sure to finish off with some hair spray to keep that look in place, if you have layers, you may want to consider texturizing with paste or styling clay fingering through your hair then fluffing, not usually necessary for pin-straight look though.
