Before straightening
• The hair should be clean, dry and free of styling
products.
• Comb the hair thoroughly before straightening
so that there are no knots in it.
• To achieve an especially good straightening result,
spread special products for hair straightening
through the hair.
• Divide the hair into manageable portions and
secure the upper portions to the head with grips
so that they do not get in the way.
