Hi, my beautiful friends: how are you doing it's me meteor today recently I did this video and showed you guys how i blow-dried my hair wavy. A lot of you guys liked that video, and also requested on how I blow-dry my hair straight today. I'M gon na be showing you how to recreate or really how to blow dry your hair straight to be nice straight and silky. If you think my hair is natural straight, it's not it's actually frizzy dry and sort of curly wavy. If you want to know how to blow dry and wavy hair or if your hair straight, they can work with straight hair as well. Just so it looks nice and fresh, like you're out of a salon, then keep on watching this video and I'll show you all the steps. This is my hair in its natural state. It'S not really dry it. So it's sort of them something in between wet and dry. Obviously, the first thing I do is wash my hair and I'm just gon na show you what products I used to wash my hair, because personally, I think what you use to wash your hair is really really important. For example, if I never go to a salon and get my hair blow-dried by a professional, you know, sometimes it doesn't last more than a day because of the products they use. So personally, I've tried so many different products, and many of you guys know that I try to use eco-friendly and natural products, and I've tried pretty much everything that's out there and the only thing that works for my hair is this product is Bhairav wah. So I use this shampoo and this is the voluminous shampoo, because I like that it makes my hair thicker so use this first and then I finish up with a conditioner. This is for conditioning you really damaged and frizzy hair perfect for my hair. Next, what I'm gon na do is I'm gon na add a touch of this, and this is another product part by Arakawa and that's a sort of a living conditioner know if you're here it's fine and silky, you don't want to use a living conditioner. What it's actually gon na do is weigh your hair down only use a living conditioner, whether this or another product. If your hair is frizzy, curly damaged unruly, you know, then you want to use an otherwise skip that step. Also, if you hear some point on whatever you wash your hair, make sure only to use conditioned at the very ends of your hair. You don't want to put it all over cuz again, that's gon na like kill the volume and bring your hair down. No, I'm just gon na put a drop of this living conditioner in my hair, literally drop, and then I'm just gon na mostly put it on the ends of my hair. You don't need to use this product or this shampoo or this conditioner you use whatever works for you, I'm just sharing with you honestly what I've been using for the last year or so, and I do use other products you know once in a while. I use John masters they're, also clean products very good, organic products. Intelligent nutrients are also another great shampoo conditioner. If you're looking for more natural, healthy products before I start blow drying my hair, I just have to go through the three brushes that I use and I've used the same brushes when I showed you how to do curly hair with a blow drying technique, I'm using The exact same brushes for straightening, the hair, so big round brush, is for blow-drying the hair straight the little brush I use for my baby hairs, which I have tons of. If I pull, you guys will see, and I can straighten them with this brush - and I know it's so complicated this brush, I think, works the best for blow-drying my bangs straight personally. If your hair again is fine and more silky, then stick with one brush each one. If your hair is more finer than I would say, go with a medium brush, because you don't have so much here that you don't need a big round brush. So you'll do good enough with this one. If your hair's like mine, it's unruly frizzy curly, then you're, probably gon na need three. Now when it comes to a blow-dry, I think it's one of the most important elements to getting a good straight hair after your blow-dry. For many years, I've been using elf chim. Now that I moved to London, I wanted something, though I don't have to use a converter, for I got this lure drive by pair locks. Three eight zero zero. I honestly just want an Amazon look for reviews and I found something that was good and this one is actually eco-friendly because it's made out of recycled plastic and it works really good. It was recommended by a lot of salons. I think it's very much comparable to the Elgin one that I had. What I usually do is I use three clips when I blow-dry my hair, I'm gon na use this tiny one to section my bangs and what I do is I usually just roll up. My bangs and clip them away. I will use this one to section the hair in the right section and then what I do here is I'm just gon na grab a section and I'm gon na clip the rest away and I'm just gon na be working with that one section. First, this is the technique I use and I be using this for many years and I think I probably learned it by just observing my hairstylist once you've blow-dried my hair. All it is, is you take your big round brush and then you put the hair on to the brush. With your right hand, you constantly do this motion so like you roll the brush and then that kind of feeds the hair on and then you go lower and lower. So I can't talk with the blow-dryer is on, so I want to explain before I actually started doing it. I'M gon na hold the blow-dry close to my hair and I'm gon na go up on the highest heating. What I'm gon na do is just feed the hair through the brush and roll it roll it with my right hand and go all the way down. Second, things do is I'll actually go out. I'M gon na go with my brush over the hair and the blow-dryer under, and I'm gon na go all the way up. That'S gon na create volume, and then, if I'm still not happy with how straight my hair is, I might go one more time down. So I'll do the same thing again down and that's really what I use for every section of the hair. So let's begin so here's my first section literally. It takes me about maybe 30 to 60 seconds. To do one section perfectly straighten out that I blow dried. It and it looks nice and silky - I'm gon na go ahead and do the exact same thing all over and I'm just gon na speed up the process. Okay, so now I'm gon na be working with my baby here, as you can see here, i blow-dried this section, but this little hair didn't get affected by blow dry and it's still curly. You can't get into the small sections with bigger brushes. So that's why I like to use my tiny brush and what I'm gon na do. I'M just gon na put the air onto the tiny brush. I'M gon na do the exact same thing: I'm gon na roll up brush with my fingers like that to keep fitting the hair until it's straight. So let's do it. Did you see the difference now? This whole section is perfectly straight now when working with the sections in the back, it can be a little weird that times. One of the most important thing I do personally is I grab the brush, and I make sure that I always brush this section. So this here at the crown at any time, you're working with the section here in the back make sure that you grab it fit it onto the brush and then you blow-dry back. I know it's a little hard, but just practice practice practice and it's gon na become more natural with every time, as you can see, it's nice straight and silky. So I'm just gon na move on to my left section and do the exact same set now before I move on to my bangs, because that's the only section that I have that is left. I'M gon na go back to the back section of my head and I'm gon na brush it back to create more volume and I'm gon na. Take it again and one last time I'm gon na blow dry this whole section back and blow-dry. It start them up and then drop the hair pick it up, blow-dry it back up. So just watch me and you'll see what now the last step is always my bangs, I'm gon na take my medium size brush and I'm gon na just brush my hair. First now, when working with my bangs, I blow dried many many times before, I actually shape it into the side. I wanted to fall I'll start with first blow drying and towards my face like that and I'll do that a few times then I'll blow dry it out of my face, maybe ahh. So when I rolled right for the last time, I'll, usually let my hair is sit on the brush for maybe a minute or so I like to get a volume in my bangs I'll. Let it sit for a minute and then I'll release it and now we'll just wait - and this is usually what I'm left with when I take out the brush - it's nice and straight, but there's still a little bit of volume and shape to it. Now, the very very last step I promise this is: it is I'm gon na take my argan oil, just gon na use a drop of it, just a teeny, tiny drop. If you put any more than a drop you here, it's gon na look like it's grease. You make sure you do that and I'm just gon na put on my palms, like literally it drop. Then I'm gon na go like this, so it's just nicely evenly distributed in my pumps and I'm just gon na brush with my pumps through the ends of my hair first, but it action and moisture and I'm gon na. Do it on my right side and most of the oil has gone by now? The last thing is: I'm gon na start from the front, and I'm gon na put some of this oil in the back, and the very last is I'm gon na go over my bangs, but this is what my hair looks like when I'm done from the front. As you guys can see, I do have highlights in my hair, when I wear my hair straight, you can see that even more and then I'm gon na turn it on and show you the back. That'S it for today my darlings try to blow-dry your hair like this straight and let me know how it works in the comment below I'd love to hear from you also, if you find this video helpful, please remember to like this video down below and please subscribe For more hair tutorials, also, if you post any pictures of your beautiful straight hair, I'd love to see it, so you can either tie me on instagram or tag likes it here on Instagram or post it on Facebook Fanpage.

Comments
Not Mia: Oh my god, finally a You Tuber that has curly AND wavy hair. You have no idea the struggle of trying to tame my own hair. This video helped so much - subscribed!
Chelsea: I have really curly, frizzy hair and I thought I'd give this a try. It worked out better than I expected! I still had to go over some sections of hair with my flat iron a few times, but all in all I'm quite happy with how my hair turned out. Thanks for the tutorial! :)
Emily Pulliam: This explanation was AMAZING. I have watched tons of hair tutorials and felt SO overwhelmed that I ended up never trying them out. But I am definitely trying this look out TONIGHT! Thanks so much! <3
STAR THE WOLF: Hi Mimi, You taught me how to blow dry my hair, thank you soooo much!! My hair is very thick and curly and I never thought I could blow dry it myself, only after watching your video I discovered I could do it like in the salon!! I love all your videos they are beautiful!!
Lauren Pool: Thanks for the tutorial! My 11yo daughter has partially straight, partially wavy, thck, frizzy hair with lots of baby hair at the temples. Thanks for explaining the brush sizes you use...now I know what to buy for her. I can hardly wait to try this technique on her hair! Your hair is GORGEOUS, btw! <3
mormana: I love your videos. I have the same hair as you, curly-wavy, something like this. Always used flat iron to straighten them up. For all those, who cannot achieve the results like here on the video, just with hairdryer and the brush, I give you an advice. It helped me a lot and the difference is really visible. Never underestimate the power of good hairdryer. I always used small, "pocket" hairdryer and lately changed it for ionic one. Yes, it is a little bit expensive, but it is worth it. I dont have to use flat iron anymore and my hair doesn't look like damaged anymore. I completely fall in love with the results.

Jess A: I have three round brushes and of course I want more because I hoard everything but I did learn some things. Boar bristles have a lot more tension so it helps with straightening out wavy or curly roots, especially in the bottom sections and the crown sections. Thermal bristles are great for speed drying. I have very thick, wavy hair and with a thermal brush, I can get my entire head done in less than 30 minutes.

andrewelianlily: Thank you for posting videos like this. I have the same hair as you. Mine is long, grueso dry and frizzy, drive me crazy every morning and the only thing stop it is having a tomato style, which I don't like. I have to look good all the time because my job. And since I learned how to do curles I do that every other week, they last four to six days. Now I will try this way to blowdry my hair and looks like a easy way too. Thanks!!!!
Naomi Lichtner: I try so so hard to have my hair come out like this...but I think I have come to the conclusion that I just have to accept my lackluster hair...or get hair extensions...because I don't have that much hair, so it usually looks piecey...and bad. But I shall try this! Thanks Mimi!
