2. Condition, condition, condition!
Using a high quality deep conditioner is ESSENTIAL for any wash day, but especially when you plan to apply heat to your hair. A protein treatment is ideal for protection, but a moisture/protein balanced product will do the job as well for the protein sensitive curly gals/guys. This will help to avoid breakage and keep your hair nourished!

3. Prep, prime, and protect
Now that your curls are clean and nourished, it's time to use a heat protectant and serum. These products will help prevent heat damage, add a healthy shine, and combat flyaways/frizz. Be sure to use a light coat with these products to avoid weighing down your hair.

4. Everyone's favourite part, Styling
It's game time! Use a flat iron to smooth and straighten your hair. It is recommended to use settings between 375°C - 410°C to ensure adequate smoothness, but still maintain the integrity of your natural texture. 1-2 passes with the iron should do!
