| • Start with damp hair and prep with a product suited to your hair type. If your hair is fine, choose a mousse. If your hair is unruly, use a de-frizz gel. • Separate into sections to make the process more manageable. • Grasp hair very close to the roots with a brush to release any kinks. Smooth through. • Blow dry with a round brush, pulling through tightly to create tension. • Spray with a thermal heat protection spray, then glide flatiron over small sections. Finish by combing pieces through for body. (CREDIT: Larry Busacca/Getty) See the Full Story |

| • A great gel or cream that addresses your specific hair concerns. Our favorite is the Bumble and Bumble Straight Blow Dry ($28; bumbleandbumble.com), a heat-activated cream that leaves even the thickest hair soft and manageable. • A flat iron like the CHI Classic Ceramic flat iron ($100; target.com), which has tourmaline plates and won't scorch the hair shaft.

| Solution: The key is in your prep-time. For hair as sleek and pin straight as Sofia Vergara, use a mega watt blow dryer like Sultra's The Siren ($175; sultra.com) before you smooth over with a flat iron and it will cut your straightening time in half.
