Follow our steps on how to get sleek straight hair and discover some of our best hair straightening products to achieve your best hair day yet.

step one: prep for sleek straight hair in the shower

No shampoo or conditioner will give you perfectly straight hair, but using nourishing products is a good place to start. Trust us, dry and brittle hair = frazzled strands that never seem to lie flat.

Washing your hair with the normcore signature shampoo is the perfect first step in achieving your straight hair goals. Pair it with the normcore signature conditioner to help, leave you with shiny strands ready for styling.

step two: time to shine

If your hair needs an extra bit of TLC, try using a conditioning leave-in cream after showering. The supernova moisture and shine cream smooths frizz to help you get shiny, sleek hair. Apply on damp hair for ultimate nourishment and brilliant shine.

step three: detangle and dry

Priming spray is the perfect pregame before the big event. The wizard detangling primer is a multi-tasking spray that preps and primes your hair. Helping to eliminate any tangles before drying, it’s especially useful for curlies and coilies looking to straighten their mane. The best part? It also helps cut down on drying time, letting you get on with your day!

step four: protect your strands

We’re sure you’re familiar with the phrase “always use protection”. This applies to your hair too. Heat damage can cause breakage and frizz, ruining your dreams of having sleek straight hair. The blockade heat defense serum shields against damage caused by heat styling up to 450 °F/230 °C . Bring on the heat!

step five: let’s get it straight

If you struggle with regular straighteners to achieve the sleek hairstyle you’re after, a hair straightener brush may be the answer to your straight hair prayers.

The digital temperature control allows you to style both the thinnest and thickest of hair with just the right amount of heat. The ion-generating projector promotes smooth, shiny hair and keeps the frizz away.
