http://www.aveda.com/product/5250/1662... Help counteract damage and try this fun wrap technique to achieve silky, straight hair. Aveda’s line of Smooth Infusion products is all you need for straight and healthy looking hair.
Emulsify Aveda’s Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother between your palms and gently comb the product from roots to ends. Follow with Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener for added shine. The hydrolized wheat and organic aloe formula help deliver long-lasting hold so your style stays smooth even in high humidity.
At Aveda, we believe product plus technique gets results. Section your hair and pin at the crown to target the front and sides of your head first. Next, comb the sides of your hair straight and wrap around your head section by section. Unpin the hair at the crown of your head and wrap in the same direction. Apply a few additional pumps of Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener to your hair, using less for thinner hair and more if you have thick or coarse hair texture. Clip hair to keep it in place and dry with a blow dryer or air dry overnight. Release the pins when you are ready to comb out and wear your sleek new style.
Click the link above and use the wrap technique to help smooth even the most stubborn and frizzy hair.
Comments
Madison Bartlett: I'm sure this worked brilliantly for the model with naturally straight hair.
TammiBloo: Oh wow, this is interesting because I've never seen a caucasian person get their hair wrapped XD Typically, this is a technique that is often used by Black and Latino people. Glad to see that it's spreading and helping other people too, because overall it's a great technique! :)
audine2007: After all these years and fail after fail...Finally a wrapping technique I can use. Brilliant video!!!
LaMeka Young: WOW this is so perfect and way easier, Ive watched a ton of wet wrap videos and this is the one I needed Thank You. I was having problems with the crown area ALWAYS and now a technique that addresses the crown, Im black American so when I perm my hair it gets straight so yes this is the perfect video for all hair types. My hair is long and again this video is just perfect Thank You
kayla rito: @ people saying she has straight hair already, i have curly/wavy hair and my hair looks like hers when its wet so actually you cant really tell if its straight naturally or not. :)
Shiro Usagi: Can we appreciate the fact he divides the hair perfectly
Taylored Tuff: great technique! Really does work! I have really curly hair! I use it both in and out of the hair salon. Especially now with the new naturally straight!
M. AG: Last time I saw a tutorial like this so I tried, my hair was a mess, pins everywhere, I didn't know which one to put where, but this one here looks sooooooo neat, I'm trying this tonight
t337: Finally a good idea of what to do with the middle! I always mess that part up! Thank you!
Alannah Lee: Yeah, my hair is curly/wavy and thick it works well for my hair it became straighter/wavy this is easy. It is a lot faster than straighten my hair for me. With thick curly hair that is a bit damaged and takes too long to straighten my hair, this is a lifesaver. I can just wake up with nice hair thank you for sharing this it has saved me so much time, and it has helped my hair because now I don't straighten it I just use the straighten hair wrap. Best thing I have ever found on YouTube.
Rawand Sabah: That was a great idea for the crown hair I usually struggle at this point, Many thanks !
Michelle Harrison: I'm Puertorican and Doobies are a common thing amongst us. Since I usually had someone else do it for me (usually my mom or cousin), I never perfected the method and the crown part always gets bunched up and doesn't come out straight. I'm glad this video shows a slight twist to how I learned it and hopefully it'll come out better now :D
Kim Wold: This is exactly what I was looking for, I tried wrapping it this morning but I didn't know how to wrap the hair and if i don't have order i can't really proceed, this technique is awesome!! professional, organized and not messy like the other ones i've seen on youtube. I'm definitely trying this next time :) byebye heat!! :)
Susan Craigo: This is the only video I have found on someone wrapping white girl hair. My fine hair looks crazy in the morning and I have to apply heat yet again. Dry wrapping is the best at preserving your style for several days. This is the best kept secret of ethnic women.
JE: This guy makes it look so darn easy!
Lorena Escobedo: I just wrapped my hair using this technique... I hope it works!
Vurlet: she didnt even blink when he did the hair spray
MsTigerseye77: An oooolllddd technique used by girls with relaxed hair for decades to make the relaxed hair stay salon fresh up to the next relaxer session. I only recently got kind of good at this after going natural 15 years ago and gave flat ironing a shot. It is awesome. Back in the day the stylist used to wrap the crown hair around a roller. Anyone remember that? AH...memories!
Angela D: This is the best wet wrap tutorial I've seen!
Doodlebug524: For those of you who are confused, her hair is STRAIGHT in the beginning because it is WET.
raghda khater: رااائع فعلا كان عندى مشكلة مع خصلة منتصف الشعر دى كنت عاوزة اعرف اظبطها ازاى
Jackie Perez: This is how we wrapped our hair in the 70's with one difference. We used to huge rollers at the top so we could have body. This works!
Katharina Petrova: Does the glossy straightener damage the hair at all?
Lauren Smith: Lol why is everyone making this video about race? This video didn't claim they created the hair wrapping technique, they are just demonstrating a way to achieve it.
Grace Nehme: Does this actually work? I've been trying things like this for years and nothing works. I have thick curly hair and I want something to work with out heat!
PYaariii Lal from India: I have naturally straight hair. But once I moved to the city my hair would have crumbles on it after shampooing and natural drying. Not wavy but all crumbled up. So I tried this method. But I have thick hair. Almost 5 times the thickness this model has. So wrapping it up isn't efficient
Aveda: Hi Carrie - No, hydrolized wheat protein in the Smooth Infusion Glossing Straightener helps protect the cuticle from heat damage caused by hot styling tools. ^ka
Adam Lopez: This is how my mum said they straightened hair in the 70’s. (She was a hairdresser). Only difference is, a Velcro roller was used for the crown and hair was all wrapped in one direction, then once it dried, it was all wrapped again in the other direction.
Veronica Pirela La Mua: So perfect
A.L. Johns: This seems easy with a model that already has stick straight hair to begin with. I would like to know how this technique and the products work on someone with wavy or curly hair
josselinjb: Awesome video !!! Thanks to this video I learned hot do a hair wrap!!!! Big difference from knowing how to do a hair trick /style and showing it to people to learn how to do it!!!! Very good vid!
Mariam Boubkraoui: Are those products for helping frizz, and to use if you want let the hair air dry? Btw thanks for the crown tip, brilliant idea!
Queen ميساء: Her hair its already straight and amazing
Patricia Nicole Enriquez: so efective to my hair thank you AVEDA
gabí: Trying it tonight
Booski Reddy: Wow by far the best wrapping video I have seen on You tube
tabuma f: the model already had straight hair otherwise the crown portion would have come out with a weird wave in it
شيماء كرم الله: it's the best tutorial in the world
Claudia Okyere-Fosu: Excellent thanks
G: Wow it would have been nice if you would actually show him how you did that perfect little circular part ain't no way I'm going to be able to do that by myself. Like seriously I have a lot of hair I think I'll just stick to the other tutorials but this is really cool
Jojo Pricks: I wish someone will do a totorial in thick curly hair NOT fine or thin hair guck
Holy Experience: How they did the crown part was new to me, but love it! You truly never hear it all..
Ilham S: Technique often used in morocco, we call it "patcha"
Grace Parsley: Step 1: have naturally straight hair
Nandhu: really very usefull...i got my hair full straight by this technique....thnx a lotsss
Reem: How did he make it look so easy I sat here crying in my THICCKKK 24 inch curly hair trying to do this thrice and now my head hurts
Jojo Pricks: Again this is fine hair do one for thick curly hair type
Janika: but her hair was already straight to begin with?? you shoulda used a black person or anyone else that has curls to show if it actually works.....
Habiba Mostafa: She literally didn’t blink the whole video And she already has straight hair So it might have worked and it might have not worked He should’ve used a model with curly or wavy hair
Varmy: This method is used by Moroccans for a very long time ago..it's really Good (y)
CrâŽý ĢîrŁ: It's a mess when u have layers , everything falls out lol
wajhat khalid: Can we use aelovera gel instead of straighten cream and smoother
Bradley Garcia: For all the people bringing race into the video - yes, it's a white stylist trying a technique that many people of colour have been doing for years. However, nowhere in the video did the stylist ever outright state or claim it was a "new" way to straighten hair nor are they trying to put down or discredit people of colour who have been doing this. It's hair, and the wonderful thing about YouTube is that techniques have become so easy to share within the community. You look up a hair wrap method on YouTube and 95% of them are videos of people of colour with natural hair. What I appreciate about this video is that it shows that a wrap can work for people who don't have the same texture that natural hair has, and I think trying protective styling techniques that other people may not have been as exposed to as a result of a cultural divide is a good thing.
R M: The Wrap is a very usefull tequenique, especially if you have 2 to do at any one time
Sajil jalal: Does this work for short hair?
Tsukihime: the model has already pin straight hair to start with -_-' she can just let it air dry naturally!
Kofuku Ebisu: I'm Asian and my hair used to be super straight when I was younger. Then towards middle school, it became wavy/curly. I thought it was because I dyed my hair but nope. My hair was called "nappy' & "black people hair" from a fellow classmate. I mean, it kind of pain since I missed my straight hair a lot since it was manageable. Now I've grown to love it as I see so many people with straight hair wanting to achieve my type of hair ^_^ Please love your hair. You may not love it now, but later you'll appreciate it c:
Baljaa Abdul rahman: I succeed it after trying for thousand times
joevelle: Lemme try this one. I am using the elastic method and it works but doesn't last T-T
Unknown: every time i get to the crown part those whole thing gets messed up ughhh
laiba: Wait do you have to straighten your hair first? Or do you just have a shower and do this technique?
Kelly Haskell: I am going to try this but I will use garnier fructis smooth products. I have thick curly hair.
NE B: Yall waaaaaaay late with this one buddy. Black and Hispanic women have been wrapping hair for long time now. This is called a wet wrap. I've been wrapping my hair since I was in 6th grade. And that was in 1990. I would use a setting lotion called wrap n tap. I would put a roller at the crown to give it body. Lol.
Iqra Liaqat: it is very easy way for me ....thanks ....thank u soook much ....its great technique for me
Chavi Sarraf: Awesome vdo.... Loved it <3
xxgabzxx: im gonna try it and ive got short layers, anyone who tryed it with short layers tell me :D
Happy Doggs: It says how to smooth and straighten hair with a wrap not how to buy all of our products then wrap it.
Great passion: This technique is not only for black people. I learnt it from my family and it works perfectly. im really done with heat, it destroyed my hair.
Rae: Ok but how do you do this to yourself lmaoooooooo. My boyfriend cannot be this precise and I would like to do it on my own, thanks!
Ma ru: it's better if hair is not totally wet but a little bit dry. and also need to change sides of the wrap. In my country this had been used for centuries and it's from where the hair wrap is born. And the method of the hair sectionning is not totally right but it's fine for someone with already straight hair lol
Fatima Haloui حلوي فاطمة: Wow! Satisfying results
ju: woah that’s mad satisfying
Carmelle Miller: do you need to have all of the avid products for this to work?
Emily Rose: What are the clips they use? They don't leave any creases!

Diana Ramos: It's easier because someone did it for herq
Marco Fushichou The Phoenix: Can you do my hair? i have short curly hair. but my hair is super curly xD and where do they sell these Aveda Products ?

Jake Saen: I'm gonna try this Thx for sharing D!
Amanda Maldonado: Where can you get all these products
Xoxoxo: Loved it
Destinee mercado: Despite everyone’s annoying comments about race and hair texture, out of all of the videos here on YouTube, this is the best one! Like you said, sectioning is the best way to make everything neat. Thank you!
Jolly Shifi: how to make circle at the crown part?
Hala Hala31.12: كتير حلو
doll xa: That is an old Moroccan technique
Leah Elizabeth: I know some of that hairspray had to have gotten in her eyes
nicadrmar: LOL one of my fav hair and beauty lines but you're about 25 years late with this video. We've been wrapping our hair in the black community since at least 1990. At least acknowledge where you swiped the idea from lol.
Katharina Petrova: Thank you :)
