handbag.com resident hair expert Leo Bancroft shows
you how to perfect the tricky technique of straightening
your hair.
It’s all about dividing hair with clips and working through
in sections. Use the point of a long clip or pointed end
of a styling comb to get a line of hair and then clip
it up. Leaving a manageable amount of hair below it –
see the demonstration video.
Straighten the under sections of your hair first and work
up to the top layers. How many times you make a line and
clip it up will depend on hair thickness and length.
You can work with one clip at a time, or if you prefer
use several and release layers as you straighten. |

USEFUL
TIPS
• Choose a straightener that’s right for your hair
type. Thick or coarse hair will need one that can reach
a higher temperature 220°C than fine or brittle hair 210ºC.
• Apply a thermal protect product before you start,
this will help keep your hair in good condition – essential
if you use straighteners frequently.
• A finishing gloss spray or hair spray after straightening
will give a sleek look and protect against humidity and
the elements.
• Always use a heat proof mat on a safe, flat surface
while your straighteners are heating up or cooling off.
