10 Major Mistakes You're Making When You Try to Straighten Curls

We get it: using the classic comb attachment to tangle through our curls is easy, but the stiff tines can cause breakage. To get a faster, more precise blow-dry, use a concentrator nozzle (which focuses the heat directly where you want it) with a Denman brush. The flexible rubber brush will ensure you have a firm hold without pulling at your hair.

Before you pick up the blow dryer, grip your hair at the roots with the brush (bristles facing out). Place the nozzle on the bristles, and slowly pull both tools in a downward motion. Repeat on the same section a few times. The rubber bristles will carefully straighten your hair and make sure heat is evenly dispersed.
