I blowdry and straighten my hair so does anyone know what they use in the salon? What do i use to make my hair soft and silky?
It's mostly used on the body of your fly to add bulk, you wrap it around your thread then around hookhere's an example from Cabelas
Firstly, whenever you apply high heat to your hair whether it be a blow-dryer, a flat-iron, etcit will cause damage to your hair, no matter what protectant or appliance you useThe point is to minimize the damage to a sustainable level for your hairYou can do this with protectant, proper cleaning and conditioning, as well as a ceramic plated flat ironIf you want especially silky hair, use a little serum such as biosilk, chi-line, etcbefore and after you straightenToo much will weigh your hair down and make it appear greasy Depending on your hair type, you should use either a water-based or more oil-based heat protectantIf you have finer hair that tends to easily become greasy choose a water-based protectant, alternatively, if you have curlier hair that frizzes/curls easily when straightened and tends to dryness choose an oil-based protectantMy favorite oil-based protectant is beyond the zone turn up the heat line (at sally beauty stores) and I would recommend Tresemme Thermal Creations for a water-based protection heat spray (any CVS or walgreens) To achieve silky hair and reduce damage, it is also important (and worth the extra dollar) to get a ceramic plated (for even heating), ion (helps to reduce frizz and condition hair) flat iron with a controllable heat settingsYou don't want to fry your hair with 425 degrees daily, if you can get the look you want on 325 insteadThe sedu iron is amazing for this and has all of the aboveA cheaper, but also excellent choice, is the conair-infiniti If you have the extra buck, pick up some redken anti-snap and protein hair treatments, as well as a deep conditioner, to help rebuild your hair and keep it from thinning and breaking from heat styling and have fun :)
