Here’s how to straighten afro hair at home:
1. Prep hair with heat protect spray
2. Section hair into layers
3. Glide styler through small sections of hair
4. Repeat throughout the hair
step one: Prep hair with heat protect spray
To protect your locks before styling, spritz your hair with ghd heat protect spray from the roots to the tips. Comb the product through with the ghd detangling comb to ensure an even distribution throughout your hair.
step two: Section hair into layers
Section hair into layers, create as many as you need to prepare more manageable sections.
step three: Glide styler through small sections of hair
With excess hair pinned out of the way, take the first section and place it between the plates of the ghd platinum+ styler. Glide the styler from the roots to the ends, smoothing out the curls as you go. Moving the styler slowly down the locks ensure you’ll get professional quality results and leave you without kinks in your straight hairstyle.
step four: Repeat throughout the hair
Continue around your hair, following the directions outlined in step three, until you have a head of sleek and glossy hair.
Tip: Add a beautiful glossy finish with a generous helping of the ghd smooth & finish serum. For afro hair, take a pump and a half and disperse through the mid-lengths and ends using your hands.
