Today's Hair Tips: How to use hair straightener

Straightening hair with a hair straightener then you can have naturally straight hair. Now you can do it yourself with these simple instructions.

Things You Need:

- a blow dryer that offers around 1800 w and is light enough to hold easily
- a good hair straightener ( I like Yamochi)
- sectioning clips
- anti frizz lotion
- tail comb

Blow dry hair until hair is fully dry. You are just removing the moisture, so there is no need to straighten your hair at this point. That comes later.

We are about to move onto the use of the hair straightener.

1. This tool becomes very hot, so take care when using. Once hair is completely dry, draw thin sections of hair through flat iron slowly, but keep the iron moving.
2. Comb hair smooth after each draw through of the iron.
3. Continue until all of your hair has been straightened.
4. Just in case you are wondering if it is really this easy... yes it is, but you might want to practice using your flat iron while it is cold until you get used to the feel and weight of the tool.

Look Good on Holidays

Red lipstick is great for a holiday seasons, especially if you host a party. It brightens your face and really sets the tone. Apply foundation to your mouth before the lipstick to help it have staying power the entire night so you don't have to be busy fixing it.

Don't be afraid to be a little naked...as long as it looks good. A moisturizing body glow is the trick because it adds a hint of shimmer with a touch of bronzer so your skin looks sexy and healthy.

For an office to party occasion, you might not have time to run home and change your outfit. To update your 9-5 look in minutes, lose the blazer, slip on a pair of red silk heels and trade your work bag for a jeweled clutch.

Playing holiday hostess is great but hours on your feet during party prep can wreak havoc on your calves. Instead of sky-high heels, try black suede wedges to give your feet more support while still lengthening your legs.

Bold color and prints are a great way to look festive. Animal print is a top trend this season and jewel tones like emerald green are perfect for holidays.

Tipping Your Hair Stylists

I was aked a lot about how much to tip your hairstylists during holidays. Here are my tips - consider giving a tip equal to the value of one visit. This guideline only applies to people you see regularly (more than once a month). Otherwise, a 20 percent tip per visit without an additional holiday boost is standard.
