How to take care of straight hair
Whether your hair is naturally straight, straightened with heat styling tools or even chemically straightened, adapt your haircare ritual to protect your blow-dry and care for your straight hair without damaging it.
Good habits for caring for straight hair
Wash your hair with a straightening shampoo
Choose a shampoo with revitalising and straightening properties that doesn’t contain sulphate surfactants, which can dry out your hair and reduce the effects of chemical straightening.
It will help keep your hair straight and frizz-free.
Blow-dry hair gently to limit damage from straightening
When drying your hair, make sure you use a low temperature and keep the appliance at least 2 cm away from each strand. Use a round brush to get a better grip on the hair and always point the hairdryer nozzle in the same direction as the brush, generally away from the roots.
Apply heat protection before straightening your hair
Use a heat protection product every time you dry or straighten your hair in order to prevent the damage caused by heat styling. These products are able to protect the hair fibre from the heat of styling tools and to keep hair soft, supple and glossy.
Only use straighteners on dry hair
Using straighteners on wet hair may cause even more damage. When hair is exposed to excessive heat (which can reach up to 230°C), the water on the surface draws out the natural moisture from within the hair, which then rapidly evaporates in the form of tiny water vapour bubbles. These then distort the hair fibre and damage its internal structure. The hair is weakened at its core, becoming brittle and less supple. Make sure your hair is completely dry before straightening.
Use hairspray to hold your style in place
Once you’ve finished blow-drying or straightening your hair, use a hairspray with a haircare formula to set your style naturally while protecting the hair fibre. This will help keep your hair straight and frizz-free all day long.

Frequently asked questions:
How can I keep my hair straight all the time?
To keep your hair straight and resistant to humidity, apply a hairspray after blow-drying or straightening to keep your style defined and set.
How do I straighten my hair without straighteners?
For naturally sleeker hair, use the right haircare ritual: a straightening shampoo with coating properties, a straightening haircare product or oil, and a brush to gently detangle. Your hair won’t be straight but it will stay supple, soft and silky.
How do I take care of straightened hair?
If your hair is chemically straightened, it’s important to take care of it by using products that don’t contain sulphate surfactants to maintain the results of the treatment for as long as possible. When straightening hair using heat styling tools (hairdryer or straighteners), we recommend applying a protective product with a restorative and nourishing action before straightening hair to protect and repair the hair fibre from heat damage.
How should I dry my hair to prevent frizz?
Direct the hot air from your hairdryer downwards to keep the cuticles closed and prevent frizz from forming.
