Owners of he althy and beautiful curly hair often dream of perfectly even curls. Even naturally straight and coarse hair begins to curl as the length increases. The same thing happens when exposed to moisture. Special straighteners come to the rescue, which can be used without hot styling with an iron or hair dryer.
Chemical hair straightening
Chemical straightening is suitable for owners of too tight curls that almost no professional hair straightening products can handle. Unruly curls without ironing become completely smooth. But such a transformation will be costly, and it is not only about the financial side of the issue. The structure of the hair is damaged by rather aggressive components of the chemical straightener. Therefore, this method is also recommended for those who want to get rid of the perm.
The procedure involves the successive passage of several stages. It is necessary to treat the hair with a special composition that opens the scales for deep penetration of the straightening agent. After a straightener is applied, the hair is thermally straightened. Rinse off the used products, and then apply a mixture that provides smoothness and shine. To fix the result will allow special sprays that protect the hair from negative external influences. Perfectly straight strands will last for several months.
Chemical straightening products
A set of products for chemical hair straightening must necessarily include a deep cleaning shampoo, a neutralizer, a heat-protective spray or cream, a fixative of the result. It is better to use semi-professional cosmetics, which can be purchased in specialized stores. Wella brand products have proven themselves well. This is a high-quality and relatively inexpensive cosmetics. It is advisable to purchase chemical straightening products in a set from one manufacturer. So the harmful effect on the strands will be less, and the result will be better.
Keratin, or bio-straightening

The procedure can take up to four hours, but the result is worth it, because then you can enjoy perfect styling for a long time without a hair dryer, curling iron and other tools. The cost of the procedure is quite high, and keratin straightening itself on a certain type of hair may not give any effect. But ifeverything goes well, then you can forget about naughty curls for six months or more.

Japanese hair straightening technique
First, the strands are washed with special s alt-free shampoos and dried, then treated with straighteners. The products need to be left on the hair for a long time so that the chemicals have time to penetrate deeper and make the necessary changes. The working composition is washed off, the hair can be dried with a hairdryer. After you need to stretch the curls with an iron. A neutralizer is applied to the finished styling. The final stage is the use of a professional regenerating mask. The first time after the procedure, you can not wear hats, use hairpins and elastic bands.

After such straightening, you should not spare money for the purchase of high-quality cosmetics for the care of strands, because it depends on how long the ideal result will last.
Alignment at home
No iron hair straightening products sold in stores are not always effective. Therefore, it is too naive to expect to quickly and easily get rid of naughty curls without drastic measures. You can try to use oils, vinegar rinse, gelatin masks, syrup or sweet tea, henna on your own. These home remedies for straightening your hair without a flat iron are harmless, but do not work on all types of strands, and the effect does not last long. Too thick or coarse hair may not respond to home straightening methods at all, or even become even more unruly.
You can use olive, burdock or castor oil. It is necessary to distribute the product through the hair. The oil makes the strands heavier and makes them smoother. You just need to apply a little oil warmed up in a water bath. Strands need to be insulated, after an hour wash everything off with shampoo. To see the result, it is enough to carry out the procedure twice a week. Oil is suitable for dry hair, and it is better to choose a vinegar rinse (two tablespoons of vinegar per liter of water) for straightening oily hair. You can use the product after each wash, but the strands must be allowed to dry on their own.
Colorless henna can be applied to straighten hair. Dilute the product with water to the state of slurry, apply to the entire length, hold for an hour, and then rinse. The effect will be noticeable with regular use. Gelatin masks give a similar result. One tablespoon of gelatin should be diluted in a third of a glass of water and add a spoonful of any balm. Apply the mixture to the hair slightly warmed, rinse after 40 minutes with cool water.
Effective Equalizing Masks

For example, you can mix olive oil and cognac in equal proportions (one and a half tablespoons each), add another tablespoon of apple cider vinegar. The mixture is applied to the hair for an hour. It is better to wash off the composition with herbal decoction. You can use a decoction of chamomile or nettle.
To prepare another mask, you need to mix a teaspoon of any vegetable oilorigin with egg yolk and one tablespoon of hair balm. The mass is laid on the curls in a dense layer, kept warm for two hours. After the composition must be washed off with a large amount of warm herbal decoction. A mask of peach oil (a teaspoon), cognac (one tablespoon) and two egg yolks is quite effective. Keep the composition on the hair for an hour.
