How To Straighten Hair Without Hair Straightener?

Hair straighteners or straighteners can damage and break hair over time. 

The great thing is that there are other ways to straighten your hair than using this straightener. 

While most of them take a little more time and effort, the result is a much healthier, more natural look to your hair.

Let’s find out in this article.

Overview

Overall, getting straight, beautiful, and healthy hair is not an impossible task. In fact, it’s rare to see two hair textures that are exactly the same. 

This explains why not everyone is born with straight, naturally beautiful hair.

Naturally, curly hair is influenced by genetics, the hairstyle you make, the products you use, and even the length of your hair. 

In fact, as you age, your hair can become less frizzy due to less hair loss, on the other hand, even more, frizzy due to hormonal changes.

Do you think, experimenting with different ways to make hair look shinier and straighter, is a fun way to get to know yourself?

Styling your hair a certain way every day can “train” your hair to follow a certain pattern, but overdoing it can lead to hair loss and damage. 

It’s important to be realistic with how you envision your hairstyle and be kind to yourself. Do not be self-deprecating because of naturally curly hair, because they have a distinct beauty that many people appreciate.

For other hair textures, it is more difficult to achieve a straight hairstyle without compromising the health of the hair. 

However, if you’re ready for light curls or a bit of volume, you may have more options. 

Consider incorporating some of the tips below into your own straightening solution. Also, keep trying different combinations until you get the look you love.

Use hair straightening products

The first way to straighten your hair without using heat is to use straightening products. 

There are many different types of shampoos and conditioners available in the market and you may want to try them out. A useful tip is to leave a soothing cream on after drying your hair to make it more relaxed.

It’s worth noting that the heavy moisturizers of straightening products will make your hair soft and weigh down curls. 

This is because these products coat the hair with a light polymer coating. Not only will this help loosen curls, but it will also help avoid frizz.

However, to make sure to avoid damaging your hair, use products that are free of harsh chemicals, especially parabens and sulfates. We think this is also a very good approach and an easy, long-term solution.

Invest in a super absorbent towel

Once you’ve washed your hair, the next step is definitely going to need to dry your hair. 

With no heat, it may take a while for your hair to dry completely. 

Therefore, investing in a super absorbent towel is a quick solution without the frizz. Because the hair will dry quickly, that means there is very little friction to damage hair.

In the case of blow-drying, pat your hair gently rather than rub it together. Because doing this with the hair is the main cause of frizz. 

Simply start at the top of your head and gently pat the towel to absorb the moisture in your hair. Continue doing this gently until the ends are dry.

Wrap hair

Wrapping hair is one of the most popular ways to style straight hair without heat, but not everyone knows how to do it for optimal effect. 

Luckily, there are plenty of YouTube braid tutorials for almost any hair type. Don’t forget to refer to them before you do these steps.

Or you can refer to these tips:

  • To wrap your hair, separate the top section and use a wide-tooth comb to smooth it out. 
  • Keeping the hair taut, bring the hair around to the opposite side of the head to let it fall naturally and clip it to one side of the head. 
  • It is necessary to repeat this method for each section of hair and secure it with a satin turban before going to bed at night.

Use rollers

If you buy a plastic roller, you can create tons of volume and shine without using heat. 

Simply divide damp hair into moderate sections first and roll the product through your hair before bed or about four hours before you plan to take it out. 

Agreed, these curls can take quite a bit of practice, however, some people with medium to long hair love using this method.

Sleep with wet hair

If it’s hard to imagine sleeping with a towel or large rollers on your head, start small and simply try sleeping with wet hair. 

Use a hair tie to tie a loose ponytail on top of your head, then create a bun by wrapping your hair around that ponytail and securing it with another hair tie.

When deciding to sleep with wet hair, you may want to consider using a pillow or simply a satin sheet. 

This will reduce the friction with your hair that occurs when you sleep, thereby helping your hair look straighter after letting it loose in the morning.

Deep conditioning with a hair mask

Another way to straighten your hair is to deeply condition your hair with a natural hair mask to make it shinier and straighter. 

In a little more detail, the hair mask works to restore protein to the hair and make curly hair more relaxed. 

Therefore, don’t hesitate to try a hair mask that uses raw eggs, manuka honey, or avocado to deeply condition your hair… 

Alternatively, use warm coconut oil or almond oil to help penetrate and strengthen it. 

Incorporate Essential Oils

There are a number of essential oils that make the hair appear softer, and they’re easy to find at any hair salon or store. 

There’s no denying that essential oils are often easier to absorb into the hair than chemical products. 

For example, coconut oil, argan oil, almond oil, or macadamia oil can penetrate deep into the hair follicles, helping to restore and repair the cells inside.

Plus, this product not only adds a sweet fragrance and nice shine to the hair, but it also helps to add volume and hold.

This method applies even if you have used rollers, hair wraps, freeze-drying, or other techniques for styling. 

It should be noted that warming the oil by rubbing between the palms will make it easier to apply the oil evenly through the hair. 

On the other hand, you need to focus on the ends of the hair and be careful not to apply more than a sufficient amount. 

Comb your hair 

Once your hair has dried with a towel, you can brush it down. 

Some advice is that hair tends to break more easily when it’s wet, so combing won’t really do that great. However, this is also a good opportunity for your hair to go in the direction you want.

While spreading, gently pull your hair down from time to time. Brushing also helps to dry the hair as it separates the hair strands to prevent moisture build-up.

Finally, if these tricks don’t work, you’re better off talking to a professional hairstylist about salon treatments and hairstyles.

Believe it or not, it will give you a shiny look without heat damage.
