Finally! Tresses That Obey Your Commands

Hair-Envy Solution #2
From Curly To Straight

AT-HOME FIX: Get out your blowdryer, a large, round, natural-bristle brush and a straightening product (try Rusk Str8, Joico Straightener or KMS StraightEdge Balm).

Apply the product to towel-dried hair, then start sectioning; make them no wider than the length of your brush's barrel. Start at the back of your head, suggests stylist Vincent Mazzei of NuBest & Co. Salon in Long Island, New York.

To get optimum tension and straightening effects, start at the roots and pull out. Point the hot air down on the sections for sleek, straight strands.

After you've conquered your curls, warm up some hair balmy stuff in your palms (Fudge Hair Licorice or Paul Mitchell Gloss) and run it over the outer layers.

SALON SOLUTIONS: A mild relaxing treatment gives you the option of wearing your hair curly or straight, and if you're dealing with a major time crunch, you can create a no-fuss wavy look. Most people only need this treatment about twice a year, but it costs between $75 and $100 each time.
If you're not ready to make this kind of commitment, blow-outs performed by a pro can give you megasleek locks. Your stylist will do all the arm-work for you.
