How to Style Smooth, Sleek Hair with a Hair Straightener
Step 1: Prepare Your Hair
- Start with clean, dry hair. Wash and condition your hair with smoothing products for best results.
- Apply a heat protectant spray evenly through your hair to prevent heat damage.
Step 2: Section Your Hair
- Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips. Start with the lower layers first and work your way up.
Step 3: Heat Up the Thunder Straightener
- Plug in your Thunder Straightener and set it to the appropriate temperature for your hair type (typically 300-375°F / 150-190°C for most hair types).
Step 4: Straighten Your Hair
- Take a 1-2 inch section of hair. Clamp the straightener close to the roots (without burning your scalp).
- Glide the Thunder Straightener down slowly to the ends in one smooth motion. Repeat if necessary but avoid going over the same strand multiple times.
- Continue this process for all sections of your hair.
Step 5: Add Volume
- To add subtle volume, slightly bend the straightener outward at the ends of each section, creating a gentle curve away from the face. This gives a natural, soft look rather than a harsh, pin-straight appearance.
Step 6: Style the Parting and Add Accessories
- Create a deep side part using a comb, matching the style in the image.
- Smooth down the roots with the straightener and adjust hair so it frames your face nicely.
- Add a decorative hair accessory like a jeweled barrette or hairpin on the side with less hair to complete the look.
Step 7: Finishing Touches
- Lightly run your fingers or a wide-tooth comb through your hair to soften the look.
- Apply a small amount of shine serum or light hairspray to keep your style smooth and frizz-free all day.
