chic shimmer
A platinum blonde hue sparkles in the sunlight thanks to smooth styling. Hair is prepped with a dab of volumizing mousse before blow-drying with a round brush. Credit the sleek shape of this bob to the artistry of a quality flat iron and the glossy finish to the mists of shine spray.

white-hot style
Optimize the texture of your ice-blonde pixie snip by flat-ironing the hair and defining layers with pomade. Begin by gliding the flat iron over tresses to create a perfectly smooth silhouette. A small dab of pomade helps to piece out the layers, while a bit of smoothing balm locks in the shine.

Mali:
We’ll check our experts and be back in a bit!
Hi, Mali!
A flat iron can’t do the work all by itself, nor is that healthy for your hair. You also have to have the right styling products to help straighten your hair. We recommend Kerastase Nectar Thermique, Kerastase Oleo Slim and Shu Umera Iron Design to help your straightening process. Not only will it be easier, but your hair will be healthier, softer and shinier. The Nectar Thermique provides your hair with vitamins, nutrients and moisture, and it helps to protect your hair from heat with only a nickel-size amount. A dime size of the Oleo Slim contains three oils to keep your hair straight despite heat and humidity. Apply both to damp hair, working them into the ends first, and then blow-dry your hair about 80 percent before you use a paddle brush to finish the drying process. Be sure your hair is completely dry before using the flat iron. Then take your hair in sections and lightly spray each area with Iron Design. This product will give you added heat protection, and it will help hold your style.
ath the beginning of the day my hair starts out as strait, smooth, shiny and there is absolutely no frizz. but in the middle of the day my haair gets hard frizzy poofy and verry hard to cope with. how do i keep my hair from becoming that way, during the day?
Hi Maddie:
You don’t say if you start the day with any product in your hair or if you have used thermal styling tools (blow dryer, flat iron etc.). Both of these would be important to know because they are what I recommend to control your frizz. There are advanced surfaces on irons available today that help to smooth the hair as well as thermal styling products to use before drying, before ironing and after finishing. The after products can be used in the middle of the day as well to maintain the look.
I usaully wear my hair straight all the time but wit the straightner i have it leavs the top of my head always frizzy.I would put a hairspray on it but then the top of my head would be hard and the rest of my hair would soft. Wht is some cheap product that would really work?
Hi Lyndsey:
If the majority of your hair is staying straight after you finish it and only the surface is frizzy I would check the condition of the hair first. Using a quality conditioner on a regular basis and using a protective thermal styling product before you dry and iron your hair will also help. I like to use a biphasic thermal activated spray that not only protects, but also conditions the hair as you heat it. I know you are looking for a inexpensive product to solve this problem, but I would suggest you look into one or more of the quality products available. It will be worth the investment. Italy Hairfashions 2-phase Hydroshine is the first product I would recommen.
