Styling tips for straight hair

Tips for perfect blow-drying

  • Always use the concentrator nozzle for directing airflow just where you want it, to ease styling and straightening. For additional control use one of the lower speed settings and point the airflow along the surface of the hair to be dried.
  • If your blowdrying skills are not salon perfect, try the Hair Designer™ 2000 which make blow-drying easy with their unique straightening attachment for mid to longer lengths of hair. Try the Hair Designer™ Airstyle for shorter length hair.
  • Always rough dry your hair to remove the worst of the wetness or moisture, as your hair does not even begin to form the hair style shape until it is nearly dry.
  • If it’s the ends of your hair that you can never get perfect when blow drying then try finishing them with a straightening iron to give you the sleek straight or ‘flicked’ ends look you are after.

Perfect products for you would be the Academy Tools Dryer or the Ultimate Nano High Torque 2000 or the Tourmaline Infusion 2000 AC and the Hair Designer™ 2000 or the Hair Designer™ Airstyle

Want super sleek and shiny hair? Try this:

  • Truly beautiful straight hair is super sleek and shiny and for this you will need a straightening iron. Irons can get your hair far sleeker than any amount of blow-drying because they help to seal the outer surface of the hair so that it shines and reflects the light.
  • Make use of technology designed to reduce frizz and reduce static to create sleek, shiny hair.

Our recommended products for this are the Academy Tools Straightener or the Goddess Conditioning Ionic Steam Straightener™ - Nano silver tourmaline ceramic technology, cCeramicTEC, iIonic conditioning technology and variable temperature settings and the Ultimate 230 Nano Straightener - Nano silver tourmaline ceramic, ceramicTEC, ionic conditioning technology

Hair won't hold a curl? Try these tips:

  • Fine and sleek or ‘glassy’ straight hair tends to ‘drop’ when you curl or wave it, so always use a styling product such as a gel or mousse and make your hair curlier than you really want it to be so that as it ‘drops’ or relaxes it will be in the hair style/curl look you really want.
  • Another professional hairstyling tip with hair that tends to loose a style quickly is to wear it straight on day 1 after shampooing and curl it on day 2 with your hot styler or straightener.

Products best for you include the NEW Curl Magic or the You Curl as they can create a firmer curl with a longer hold than the straightening iron used to create loose curl. The smaller 19mm and 25mm barrelled curling tongs can also create a crisp, well defined, firmer curl. Or for a larger curl use a 32mm curling tong.
