Keep It Sleek

Fighting frizz can be a full-time job. Streamline your style with these tips to help you achieve a smooth, silky texture.

  • Tip01
    Instead of using a round brush to finish your style, set your hair in Velcro rollers immediately after blow-drying. Let your hair cool in the Velcro rollers for a smooth look without the tugging from a brush.
  • Tip02
    To control flyaway's with Extra Hold Hairspray, spray down on to the flyaway's and immediately brush the flyaway's down.
  • Tip03
    Don't forget to protect your hair every time you apply heat to it. Heat Tamer Protective Spray all over your head to prevent damage while styling.
  • Tip04
    A smooth cuticle means shinier hair. When blow-drying your hair, point the nozzle of the dryer toward the ends of your hair and use a boar bristle brush to smooth the hair as you dry it to prevent the cuticle from being roughed up.
  • Tip05
    Spray your entire head liberally with Heat Tamer Protective Spray before blow-drying to prep your hair. Then blow-dry your hair 80% dry using just your fingers; finish drying with a round brush for a smoother texture.
  • Tip06
    Blow-dry your hair pointing the nozzle of the dryer toward the ends of your hair. This smoothes the cuticle and prevents tangles.
  • Tip07
    After blow-drying your hair, blast it with cool air for one minute to set the style and give it shine.
  • Tip08
    Use a high-quality ceramic straightening or curling iron to style your hair. Ceramic tools are much gentler on the hair than metal and will give you a smoother, softer finish.
  • Tip09
    Don’t neglect your ends when applying heat protective products. Your ends are most susceptible to damage and drying, so pay special attention to them.
  • Tip10
    Don’t try to style wet hair with a straightening or curling iron. Always blow-dry or air-dry your hair completely before using an iron. Wet hair is especially delicate, and direct heat can cause breakage.
  • Tip11
    Don’t hold the nozzle of the blow dryer in the same place on your hair for longer than five seconds — move the dryer constantly to prevent overheating your hair.
  • Tip12
    There's one rule when you expose your hair to heat — the hair must be protected.
  • Tip13
    This conditioning spray protects your hair from drying and frying every time you plan to expose your hair to heat from your blow dryer, curling or flat irons.
  • Tip14
    Apply Smoothing Crème on damp hair and blow-dry for a sleek look. Part your hair on one side, sweeping any bangs or long layers across your forehead and behind your ears (if they are long enough). Place a wide headband one inch back from your forehead.
  • Tip15
    Apply product when hair is freshly damp and blow-dry as soon as possible to get the smoothest texture.
  • Tip16
    Use a hairdryer with a nozzle attachment that will direct the flow of the hair onto a small section of your hair.
  • Tip17
    Use a medium round brush if you have mid-length to long hair, and a small round brush if you have shorter hair. Gently turn the brush as you dry each section of your hair to help with smoothing.
  • Tip18
    Don't use really large round brushes — they are difficult to manoeuvre. You want a medium or small brush to give you optimal smoothness and help you achieve a nice curl at the ends.
  • Tip19
    Whenever you flat iron your hair, don't take sections that are larger than the iron itself. If you use a 2 centimetre flat iron, separate sections of hair that are 2 centimetre in width for the best results.
  • Tip20
    Don't move the flat iron too quickly over your hair, and don't hold it in one place for too long either. Move the iron at a slow steady pace from root to tip to get silky smooth texture.
