Step-by-Step: The Silky Hair Routine

Step 1: Apply Heat Protectant (20 seconds)

Spray evenly on dry, detangled hair. Wait 20 seconds. Creates protective barrier that seals cuticle for maximum silkiness.

Step 2: Smart Sectioning (60 seconds)

Divide hair into 4 equal sections using clips. Working with 1-inch sections ensures even heat distribution.

Step 3: Straighten Each Section (2 minutes)

Clamp iron at roots, glide slowly to ends at 375F. Move at 1 inch per 3 seconds. Slow gliding seals the cuticle.

Step 4: Brush While Warm (30 seconds)

While hair is still warm, use wide-tooth comb. Smooths remaining bumps, distributes natural oils.

Step 5: Seal with Serum (10 seconds)

Apply 1 pump anti-humidity serum from mid-length to ends. Locks in smoothness, blocks frizz for 8-10 hours.
