Step 1: Shampoo, condition and dry hair

You want to start this process with freshly washed hair, so the first step on how to make curly hair straight is…

1. Start by shampooing your hair with your preferred shampoo
2. Follow your shampoo session with a deep conditioner and detangling session
3. Allow your hair to air dry (if you have long hair that takes a long time to dry, then you can blow dry or put your hair into medium twists and allow to air dry)

Step 2: Straighten hair with a flat iron

1. Section dry hair into two halves, securing one half with a hair tie or clip
2. Further section your hair into one small section at a time
3. Place coconut oil on a small section
4. Use the flat iron and comb to pass over the section of hair with the comb in front of the flat iron

4. When you are all done, you want to wrap your hair and allow the coconut oil to set

Now you know how to make curly hair straight at home you can start doing it yourself and save some of the money you would be spending getting it straightened at a salon.
