Section Your Hair: To make the styling process more organized, divide your damp hair into four manageable sections. This allows you to work on one section at a time, ensuring that no area is overlooked.

Sub-Sectioning: For optimal results, work with small sub-sections, approximately 2.5cm (1 inch) in width. Smaller sub-sections provide better control and ensure even styling.

Blow-Drying Technique: Use your blow-dryer with high tension to thoroughly dry your hair. Make sure to hold the dryer nozzle just above your hair, avoiding direct contact. This approach maintains the health of your hair while achieving the desired texture.

Flat Iron Magic: Now, it's time to unveil the magic of the flat iron. Take sub-sections ranging from 2.5-5cm (1-2 inches) and set the iron temperature within the range of 400°F/204°C-450°F/230°C. This temperature range ensures effective reshaping without excessive heat damage.

Number of Passes: There's no one-size-fits-all rule for the number of passes. In general, most hair types require 3-6 passes for optimal results. However, less resistant hair may need fewer passes, while more resistant hair may require additional passes. Trust your professional judgment and consider your client's preferences to determine the right number of passes. Remember that more passes lead to straighter results.
