Soft, Shiny, Straight Hair .....NO PROBLEM !!!!

Submitted by sharon

My hair is naturally curly, frizzy, and BIG, it use to look like a wig so that's why I ALWAYS use to tie it back, not anymore!!

First of all: Have your hair cut regularly, even if your growing it (having the ends trimmed will take off the split ends and help it grow instead of snapping off) 6-8 weeks would be fine.

Wash your hair with anything from REDKEN, i use smooth down shampoo, ALL SOFT range and EXTREME range are EXCELLENT!

I then condition my hair with SMOOTH DOWN conditioner, then i apply ALL SOFT HEAVY CREAM,(excellent intensive treatment, leave on for 10 mins, then wash out).

After blotting hair with a towel, I use EXTREAM ANTI-SNAP (leave in conditioner) then I apply GLASS (smoothing serum), I normally leave my hair to dry naturally as it doesn't seem so full looking, but you can blow dry as normal, (dry from wet hair) taking sections starting at the nape working to the front (always use a nozzle on your blowdryer, drying from the root to the ends of your hair).

When your hair is completely dry, I use G.H.D hair straightners (i would be lost without them!!),taking small sections at the nape (back of your hair) I use SPRAY STARCH (heat memory styler) spraying first then putting the irons through, after I've finished with the irons I run about a small amount of GLASS (smoothing serum) through (about the size of a 5 pence coin) the ends. I promise you, you wont use any other product again after using REDKEN.

IT IS EXPENSIVE TO BUY AND YOU CANT BUY IT IN THE SUPERMARKETS ONLY IN DECENT HAIR SALONS OR I GET MINE FROM WWW. LOOKFANTASTIC.COM, YOU ONLY NEED A SMALL AMOUNT OF PRODUCT EACH TIME AND YOUR HAIR WILL NOT BE GREASY AND IT LAST FOR AGES!!!!
GOOD LUCK

Great tip Comments By: Tasha on 2005-07-20
This is a great tip. Redken is fantastic. I have wavy colored hair. Store shampoo just doesn't do it like salon shampoo. It does cost more but the bottle also lasts alot longer! Your hair is worth it.
 
What a long winded way Comments By: Amber on 2006-01-19
What a long winded way, once you have dried your hair with a hair dryer, use you GHD, you get the same results rather then buying all those products!

Head and Shoulders shampoo works well too at making hair softer. I tried using those salon products but they still made my hair dry. After using Head and Shoulders about two or three times my hair was softer than it had been in ages. Theres no need to spend a lot of money on expensive products unless you really want to.

It's true. head and shoulders works the best for me and my two sisters. We all agreed on it. The best hair product at a affordable price. :)
