1. The Classic Straight Look

What You Need:
    •    Hair straightener
    •    Heat protectant spray
    •    Paddle brush
    •    Sectioning clips
Steps:
    •    Prepare Your Hair: Start with clean, dry hair. Apply a heat protectant spray to your natural hair and extensions to prevent heat damage.
    •    Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections using sectioning clips. This will make it easier to straighten each part evenly.
    •    Straighten Your Hair: Using a hair straightener, start straightening your natural hair and extensions. Begin at the roots and glide the straightener down to the tips.
    •    Blend Extensions: Pay special attention to blending the extensions with your natural hair for a seamless look. Use a paddle brush to smooth out any kinks or waves.
    •    Final Touch: Once your hair is completely straight, run the straightener over any areas that need extra smoothing. Finish with a light mist of hair spray for hold.
Tips:
    •    For a sleek finish, straighten small sections at a time.
    •    Keep the straightener at a consistent temperature to avoid damaging your extensions.
