What is the best treatment to keep my wavy hair straight without doing any damage and making it frizz too much?

Kelly Cook, Wangaratta, VIC.

Answer:

Anthony Nader of RAW salon in Darlinghurst, Sydney, suggests taming wavy hair by using products that contain lanolin for moisture, such as Schwarzkopf ExtraCare ZeroFrizz Finishing Polish, $5, and jojoba oil to give a brilliant shine, such as RAW Essentials by Anthony Nader Shampoo, Conditioner and Treatment, $12.95 each.

He recommends adding “a few longer layers to your haircut to reduce the volume on the ends, which will make your hair much easier to straighten. Blow-dry hair straight using a jumbo round brush — stretch hair out and away from your head as you blow-dry and keep the nozzle of the hairdryer directing heat down the hair shaft, as this will smooth the cuticle, lock in shine and eliminate frizz. Use a very small amount of shine serum — warm it up in your hands first — and distribute from ends to mid lengths. The result: long-lasting, glossy, straight hair.”
