Re: Straightening Curly hair

I am always looking for products to try and always trying new ones. I've been straightening my hair for like 8 years now and seem to need less than I used to!

I condition my hair with Sebastian Laminates. Depending on the day and my mood I then use
Rusk STR8, KMS straightening balm, or my ultimate favorite - Phytodefrisant.

I use a straightening attachment on my hair dryer - I know a round brush is better, but it takes so long - I only do it when I have a lot of time.

I use I think it's a Rusk Shine Brilliance or something like that to finish off!

Thanks for the thread and the ideas!

Re: Straightening Curly hair

Okay, I promised to post the products that I use, so here goes:
I use a big round brush to blow out.
When hair is wet, I use either Biolage Defining Elixir, Matrix Vavoom Smoothing Gel (use the most) or Back to Basics Smothing Elixir or So Straight.
After it's dry, I use either Textureline frizz repair, Rusk sheer brilliance.
And for a spray, I use Rusk Shining.

I hope this helps.
