How to straighten hair without hair tongues: the best tips

How to straighten your hair quickly and easily without hair tongues

Straight hair never goes out of fashion, and for many of us using hair tongues is very convenient, but they do end up drying and weakening our hair. Today we are bringing you a more natural alternative, one that will care for your hair better and you will also avoid using electricity unnecessarily.

4 steps to straighten your hair without hair tongues

1. Wash your hair: use specific products for your hair type and wash it well.
2. Get rid of the moisture: dry your hair using a towel or hair turban, preferably made from microfibre to absorb the moisture and avoid frizzing.
3. Roll up your hair: little by little take locks of hair and roll them around your head pulling them tight with a comb. Use hair pins or clips to help you with this process.
4. Wait until your hair dries: you can do this at night and the next day your hair will be dry and straight. To avoid it coming undone too much, you can wrap your hair in a hair net or headscarf.

Other alternatives to straighten your hair without hair tongues

• Hairdryer and brush: the traditional way. Roll small locks of hair around a round brush and use the hairdryer to dry it from the roots to the ends, gently sliding the brush downwards. The heat from hairdryers damages your hair less than hair tongues. It takes longer but the result can be very good.
• Hot air brush: these brushes also use heat, but they are not as hot as hair tongues. They work very well on wavy hair.

What products are good for straightening hair?

• Straightening treatment without tongues: this is a hair mask that is rich in keratin protein to reduce volume and frizz for 30 days. With some hair types these treatments mean that you may not even have to dry your hair to straighten it.
• Hair straightening products: these items are complementary to treatment and help to keep frizz at bay.
• Shampoo and conditioner: there is a wide range of shampoos to specifically reduce frizz. Many of them are also enriched with keratin and shea butter, thereby helping to reduce frizz. We recommend using a hairdryer or hot air brush, because they are less damaging.
