Start with clean, dry hair
Apply a heat protectant evenly
Plug in the hair straightener and set the desired temperature
Divide hair into small sections
Clamp a section near the roots without touching the scalp
Glide the straightener slowly down to the ends
Repeat on each section until all hair is straightened
Avoid passing over the same section too many times
Turn off and unplug the straightener after use
Let it cool completely before storing
Use a comb or brush to smooth hair as needed
