Start with towel-dried hair and mist Heat Defence Styling Spray to soften and condition before heat styling.

Squeeze a small amount of Thermal Creations Straightening Balm into your palm and work it evenly into your hair using your fingers.

Blow dry your hair thoroughly. Thermal Creations Straightening Balm softens your hair and doesn't feel heavy.

Leo: "It doesn't feel like anything's in your hair. It's just softer."

Your hair is now ready for straightening with a flat iron. Use Heat Defence Styling Spray on each section for extra protection. Press hair in sections as wide as the flat iron; don't be afraid of steam. The steam comes from the Heat Defence Styling Spray and means your hair is well-conditioned.
 
For a professional finish, take a section of hair from the crown and backcomb gently. Finish the style by using the pointed end of a tail comb to create lift.
