Hair straightening virgin - HELP (please).........

[FAQ]

.

OK I've managed to do my fringe and the sides.....but how am I supposed to do the back when I can't see what I'm doing

Tips please........

I sort of pull the back around to the side to do it (but mines a lot longer than yours) or do it by touch. My sister's hair is about the same length as yours and she holds her hair up at the back and does it that way - goes from root to end but pulls upwards (not sure if I'm explaining it well, sorry) It does get easier, but you have to practise to find the best way for you.

ok - I sort of guessed it might just be practice .

I've just had a look at it from the back (using the mirror) and it doesn't look too bad (I think for a first attempt LOL).

Sometimes it's good not to be too perfect, then it doesn't look too unnatural iyswim

I must say, I saw your hairstyle thread before and I think your new cut is very nice!

ok - a straightening expert here!

Stand with your back to a mirror, but with another mirror in your hand, so you can see the back of your hair iykwim.

Then with your free hand you can straighten the back - this is what I do - it is very simple once you've done it a couple of times!
