Shampoo and condition with a sleek-ifying conditioner. Gently pat - don't rub - hair dry. Rubbing it will only annoy the cuticles, and annoyed hair cuticles = frizz.
Rub a dime-sized (for short hair) or quarter-sized (for long hair) amount of silicone serum or heat-styling cream in your hands, then starting from hair ends, apply it, working your way up to the roots. Your ends should have the most product, your roots, the least.
Using a paddle or boar-bristle brush, blow dry hair, piece by piece, when it's still damp. You've surely heard the advice about drying your hair haphazardly 80% of the way and then blowing and brushing out the last 20%, but I find that, unless you are a true blow-dry expert or have perfect hair to begin with, this often results in frizzy, fluffy hair.
Instead, blot your hair with a towel, then run a blow-dryer through your hair for about thirty seconds - just long enough to get rid of excess moisture.
Clip up the top of your hair and blow-dry starting in the back, working your way forward and up, doing the crown and pieces around your face last. Pull the brush tautly through your hair in small sections, aiming the blow-dryer nozzle down the hairshaft, so the airflow shoots down almost parallel to the strands.
Apply finishing cream to your palms rubbing hands together and then, beginning in the back and on the underside of hair - concentrating on ends and avoiding roots - running fingers through to smooth and hold the style. Go over any kinks with a flatiron and finish with a few spritzes of light-hold aerosol spray.
Sometimes you can't spare the necessary half-hour or fortyfive minutes for the perfect blow-dry, and simply want to look semi-polished, fast. When that's the case, start with the pieces in the front of your head and surrounding your face
Spend a few minutes taking care to make the front pieces look smooth and polished, then quickly blow-drythe underneath and back, following with grooming cream and a few quick strokes of the flatiron.
