Techniques for Smooth Hair

Hair Wrap
Use a cloth hair wrap at night to get smooth hair in the morning. Brush or comb your hair thoroughly, and wrap it smoothly around your head. Put pantyhose, a wave-cap or a scarf over your hair to keep it in place. You can put a very light coat of oil on your hair before you wrap it if it is dry. In the morning, carefully remove your wrap and style as usual.

Natural Oil
Use natural oil on your hair like coconut oil, sunflower oil or almond oil to style and keep your hair smooth and in place instead of commercial gels, mousse or hairsprays. Product ends up being sticky and gooey in your hair, not giving it the smooth consistency you may want. If you have thin and dry hair, only use a very small amount of oil on your hands and apply to your hair.

Blow Drying Methods
Blow drying can leave your hair looking fried and the opposite of smooth. To avoid frizzy hair from the blow dryer, consider using a diffuser that more evenly distributes the heat through your hair for less damage. Use a round brush when possible for controlling blow dried hair from flying away while it is being dried. Give your hair a periodic break from the blow dryer to give it time to return to a naturally smooth state.
