In fact, one-section should include hair from the top of the head while other section should contain hair from the back and sides of your head.

  4. Place rollers into each section: put rollers in the bottom-section of hair first. Start from the hair-ends by slowly rolling the roller towards the head and then secure it with a clip.

  1. Wash or moisten hair before styling it: you need to wash hair with a conditioning-shampoo or spray it with some water inorder to make it damp just before you start straightening it. However, make sure that your hair is just damp and not dripping wet and this can be achieved by drying it up with a towel before combing through it.
  2. Get small rubber-bands: you will have to get a bunch of small rubber hair-bands that will be used during the process of straightening hair. You may get like 10-to-30 rubber-bands but the actual number depends on the length of your hair. However, if you are worried about pulling-out hair from rubber-bands then consider using a bunch of thread wrapped elastic-bands or scrunchies.
  3. Part hair into 2 ponytails: comb through your hair with a wide-toothed brush inorder to get rid of any tangles/knots and then divide hair into 2 low-ponytails on either sides of yours head. Secure each ponytail loosely with a rubber-band and just below the ears for best results.
  4. Place a rubber-band along hair every 1-inch: loosely secure hair in the ponytails using rubber-bands and at about 1-inch after the last secured rubber-band. However, if your hair is extra curly/wavy then you may need to lace a rubber-band every a half inch. Lastly, don’t secure the rubber-bands so tight over your hair because this will leave an indentation but instead make the rubber-band tight-enough to keep hair secured during the straightening process.

  2. Wash hair using a shampoo and conditioner: you need to thoroughly wash hair with a quality conditioning-shampoo just before you start combing it. However, if you don’t have the time to comb hair then consider spraying it with some water inorder to make it damp and after comb through it gently. Lastly, make sure that your hair is well-dried and feel damp before you begin styling it.
  3. Apply an anti-frizz serum into hair: apply some little anti-frizz serum into hair is optional but very important because it helps to make hair straighter and even prevents hair from becoming frizzy. On the other hand, you may also apply some little leave-in conditioner or regular-conditioner to the hair-ends before you begin brushing it.

You can also speed-up the combing-drying process by sitting in-front of a fan but it requires combing non-stop until hair dries-up which is a bit tiresome.
  5. Finish combing your hair: you will need to keep combing hair until it’s completely dry and straight. So, after achieving the straight hairstyle you wanted you will have stop combing hair and then apply a quality hold and shine-enhancing hairspray inorder to keep your hair in place and looking great.
