Salon techniques to have straight hair
In addition to the traditional blow-dryings and styling with straightening iron, there is a multitude of professional hair-straightening options that allow you to obtain long-lasting results. Brazilian, Japanese, French straightening ... depending on the type of hair and the desired finish, the professional will recommend the most suitable method. These treatments oscillate between the supple finish adored by French women and the chopstick hair look very popular with Asians and Brazilians. Shielded with keratin, most of these rituals work gently without damaging the fiber. However, it is strongly recommended to go to an expert in hair straightening, because these techniques are meticulous and require professional know-how.

Straighten her hair with a kardoune
The Cardone is a ribbon of fabric that Algerian women used to use to straighten, detangle and enhance their hair. A simple ancestral technique that seems to be enjoying a resurgence of interest, at a time when beauty is intended to be more natural and responsible.
How does it work?
We make a low ponytail that we roll up vigorously with the kardoune before bedtime (old tights or a long ribbon can also do the trick if there is no kardoune). When you wake up, remove the ribbon which reveals perfectly smooth, soft, and shiny hair. To amplify the effect, you can first apply a few drops of moisturizing vegetable oil such as coconut or argan, the benefits of which will work all night long.
Straighten her hair with tweezers
A trick well known to our grandmothers, the clip technique also called the "swirl method", "wrap" or even "Mexican" consists of wrapping the hair around the head by fixing them with flat clips.
How does it work?
On damp hair or generously sprayed with water beforehand, separate the hair into two equal parts. We make a low ponytail with one of the parts, then we take a wick at the front of the hair that we brush and that we will flatten on the skull before fixing it with pliers. We then continue to fix the hair with clips, in order to create a hair turban. When you join the ponytail, undo the ponytail and repeat the technique by bringing the strand towards the front of the head until it meets the first strands already attached. There too, one can apply before a smoothing treatment or a serum on the lengths and the ends which will relax the hair and protect it from frizz.
