STRAIGHTEN HAIR WITH A FLAT IRON

If you can remember the first time you straightened your own hair with a flat iron, you may recall that it didn’t go to well. Learning how to use a flat iron effectively takes practice and technique. Therefore, you will have to experiment a few times before you get your desired results from whatever type of flat iron you happen to be using. The following steps will guide you through straightening your hair effectively.

1. Wash, shampoo, and condition hair thoroughly.

2. Pick out your hair, throw in some product which will protect your hair against heat damage, and blow your hair dry while running your fingers through your hair.

3. Wait a few minutes before heating up your flat iron. Separate you hair into sections (depending on how thick/long your hair is) and straighten it piece by piece. You will want to do this with each individual layer of hair in order to ensure that you don’t leave any kinks behind.

4. Lastly, you can add in some extra hair products which will increase shine and reduce frizz. If you have a specific straight style in mind, you may want to apply some gels or pomades to guide your hair in a specific direction. These products will help hold the style that you want. After you have applied all necessary hair products, feel free to coat on a bit of hairspray. This will give you a big of extra hold (just in case you find yourself coasting down the street in a convertible!)

SOLANGE KNOWLES HAIRSTYLES

Solange Knowles is the youngest sister of Beyonce. She has really come into her own as an R & B singer and she released her first album “Sol-Angel and the Hadley St. Dreams” in August of 2008. Solange has also appeared on several television series, such as “Ghost Whisperer.” Just like her older sister Beyonce, Solange has a fantastic sense of style.

One of Solange’s most recent hairstyles is very simple. Her hair is long and trimmed evenly. She leaves her hair down and parts it on the side. Her hair is perfectly straight, sleek, and shiny. She lets it fall down around her shoulders and frame her face naturally. This is a great style if you have a round face, as it will make your face appear longer, and is great for other faces, such as a heart shaped one. Make sure you do adjustments if you have a longer face, or this style will make your face appear even longer.

This is a very easy style to get, and one that is so fast you can be out the door in literally minutes. It also is great to go from day to night and you can always dress it up by adding a nice hairpin or clip to keep your bangs back. To get this style, first make sure your hair is trimmed evenly. Use a flat iron to make your hair perfectly straight – you can add smoothing shine to keep your hair looking smooth and silky. Part your hair on the side and simply add mousse or spray as needed to keep your hairstyle looking great.
