HOW TO STYLE WITH
THE ELEGANCE
STRAIGHT & SHINE
STRAIGHT
Start with clean & dry, thoroughly combed through hair. Apply a heat
spray for extra protection & longer lasting results. Straighten your
hair in sections ensuring you go over each section once to get that
gorgeous, silky finish. If you are needing to go over the section more
than once, creating thinner sections will help create straight hair in
the first glide.
VOLUME
Create volume by making a curved movement with your wrist as you
glide the straightener down the hair section.
EXPERT TIP
Set your style by finishing with a spritz of light-hold hair spray, for
extra hold if needed.
