How it is done

  1. 10:57Section wet, detangled hair into four and apply a small amount (less than a dime-size) of smoothing serum to each section.
  2. 21:25Follow with an anti-humidity treatment while the hair is still wet to help the press last longer.
  3. 31:53Stretch each section with a paddle brush and chase the brush with the blow dryer on heat.
  4. 42:21Go over each section repeatedly until roots and ends are as straight as possible, then mist all over with a heat protectant.
  5. 52:50Blow-dry again with a round bristle brush, tugging at the roots and ends to smooth them further.
  6. 63:21Smooth the edges and nape with a wax stick and dry them carefully, moving quickly so the heat never burns the skin.
  7. 73:51Flat iron small sections at about 410°F, making only one pass per section.
  8. 84:48Chase a heat-safe carbon fiber comb with the flat iron through the whole head.
  9. 95:18Tilt the iron slightly on each pass to give the ends a soft bend instead of poker-straight hair.
