Straightening My Hair It takes me about 40 minutes to straighten my hair.


The first thing I do is rub the serum through to stop it from getting too dry. I rub it from the roots to the ends.


Then I split my hair into four sections, a top layer, a bottom layer and split at the centre, to make it easier to flatten.


I use Remington Wet-2-Straight irons: they're cheaper than GHDs, but they work really well.


I begin with the bottom layer, clamping together the plates as hard as I can, so no hair curls up, and goes out of place.


It's a trick to learn to avoid the scalp, and not let the iron burn your skin. I've done that several times: it hurts.


I go over each strand two or three times before it is straight and dry and smooth and not likely to look really frizzy.


It never looks right some days, but it’s better than just left curled, and it’s easier to pin up straight.


Sometimes I burn my fingers on the edge of the plates. The smell of the hair used to make me dizzy,


and twice I've burnt a hole in my bedding, so I try to be careful where I put them. I always check they're left unplugged.


I always think it’s worth doing all this when I hear people say 'Oh, doesn’t your hair look tidy today.'
