How To - Straighten Your Natural Hair Properly

Wash + Flat Ironing 

Hair Pre -Wash (Heatless Look)

When I'm going to straighten my hair I prefer to use a clarifying shampoo & then wash with a sulfate free shampoo to re add some moisture. I don't frequently use a Sulfate Shampoo It strips your hair of everything including the good moisture & natural oils. So I wouldn't suggest making a habit of using it. But when you are straightening your hair you want to assure all the heavy oils are removed so that you aren't burning your hair by straightening on "dirty hair".  I use vo5 or Suave Clarifying Shampoo and do a double wash on my hair. Both products are affordable. I then apply my normal Cream of Nature Intensive Conditioning Treatment mixed with a little bit of sun flower oil or olive oil to seal some moisture back into my hair. Twist my hair up into four sections .

I allow that to sit for at least 30 minutes. I then rinse the conditioner/oil out & towel dry.

I hadn't clarified my hair in months and once I did my curls had gotten super tight and bouncy. I was shocked lol.

I section my hair and thoroughly apply a heat protectant. Then I began my blow drying process.

I section my hair into four section sometimes only two. I apply my Biotin & Collagen light weight oil mist work it through my hair and then begin blow drying.

After I  complete the blow drying process. I set my Flat Iron to 380 degrees and section my hair again and apply my Anti Frizz Serum and. I do the comb chase method when straightening my hair as needed. Which you will see in the video. After I complete the flat ironing process I either leave my hair as is or style and WALAH luscious straight natural hair.

I haven't straightened my hair in about 7 months so I will dust my ends as necessary I will not just cut because of the time frame rather than checking and clipping/dusting what needs to be removed. I normally don't even my hair out as one side of my hair normally grows quicker (The side actually has flip flopped over the years) and I over all don't mind one side being a little longer than the other.


(I ended up trimming about an inch of hair off)
