How to flat iron your hair like a professional!

If you've got dry, frizzy, unruly hair... I can help you! Let me introduce to you a flat-iron! Here are a few steps to get your hair smooth and straight in a matter of minutes. I've been a professional hair stylist for over 7 years, and I could not do my job without a flat iron. Here's what you need to do:

Make sure your hair is completely dry. The heat from the flat iron could singe your hair if it's wet at all. Also, I'd recommend using a ceramic flat iron. My personal favorite is the CHI flatirons. These get hot enough to smooth your hair with the least amount of effort.

Next pin all your hair up on the top of your head with a clip, except for a small 1 inch section in the nape area. Mist the section with a thermal heat styling spray to protect your hair. Now take the flat iron and start at the top of the section, and slowly slide it down the hair.

Now take another section of hair out of the clip, and repeat until your whole head is finished.

If you feel your hair is too flat, you can lift up a section of hair in the crown and tease it to give you a little more volume. Just make sure to comb the top so it doesn't look like a bird's nest!

You can finish the style with some hair spray, or a polishing cream to give it some extra shine!
