Controlling Naturally Straight Hair

Crisp, straight hair is a popular style that many women are lucky to be born with.  However, many ladies discover that naturally straight hair can often creep out of control, developing static or a fly away look.  

Keeping your straight hair under control is easy if it lacks natural curl.  Products made to tame curly or frizzy hair work just as well in straight hair.  Most conditioning products or styling foams and gels will add weight to even straight hair, thereby avoiding the fly away out of control strands.  Plus, since your hair is naturally straight, you don’t need to use as much product, as it will naturally take to your hair.

Maintaining a crisp look often means a quick run through with a ceramic straightening iron.  These irons can be used on a lower heat setting for straight hair, and does an amazing job at sealing hair into place.  It also leaves it shiny and manageable.  

Naturally straight hair has some great styling options to add a little flare to your look.  Use the straightening iron at the tips of your hair to gently turn them up or under for a polished look.  If you’ve got layers, use the straightener to pull hair upwards away from your scalp to add volume while still keeping the hair sleek.  

While a blow dryer and round brush also work well on straight hair, a blow dryer can also add to the static and messiness of your hair.  Therefore, you’ll have more luck with a ceramic straightener.  Make sure you treat your damp hair with a heat protectant spray before using any heated appliances on your hair.  This will help protect your hair and prevent moisture loss, another leading cause of fly away hair.  

Naturally straight hair requires a little more than wash and go, but it’s still quick and easy to have smooth locks that are under control and looking beautiful all the time.
