Your curly hair is the envy of the town, but you’d rather have a frizz-free, silky smooth straight style? No need to drag yourself to the hair salon! Here, you’ll find ways to tame your wild curls, and emerge with a polished, elegant do!
1
Select a straightening shampoo and conditioner that’s specially designed for curly hair
The key to a good hair-straightening product is its ability to relax the hair: by unfurling your hair to the max, these products give you that smooth look you so crave!
Stay away from products that contain silicone; they’ll just way your hair down.
