^ We've washed curly hair in Matrix Sleek Look shampoo & conditioner, then gently towel dried.

^ Then we gently comb through hair using a medium toothed comb like the Matador #45 or #30.

^ Apply a small amount of Matrix Sleek Look styling crème - for this type of hair we used 'Lite' formula.

^ Work styling crème around palms of hand then smooth through length of hair.

^ We then gently comb the hair to evenly distribute the styling product and help detangle.

^ With the hairdryer set to medium heat, gently but quickly 'rough dry' hair to about 80% dry.

^ Next we use the Matador medium toothed comb to split hair into four sections, front and back.

^ Separate out of the way - with something like a plastic sectioning clip - part of the larger section.

^ Using a Head Jog's new ceramic round brushes, we start drying sections from back to front.

^ Before using ceramic hair straighteners, we usually apply a few drops of MOP shine drops.

^ After working around palms, swiftly run through mid-lengths and ends of hair.

^ With a section of hair take a few seconds to smooth ceramic straightners from root to ends.

^ On some hair types you may need to repeat 2-3 times with ceramic straighteners on sections.

^ We finish by lightly misting hair with Matrix sleek.look Water Free Lock, to help retain straightness.

^ The results are fantastically sleek, shiny and frizz-free straight hair with long lasting style.
