The Basic Tips:
The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.• 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.

• A flat iron like the CHI Classic Ceramic flat iron ($100; target.com), which has tourmaline plates and won't scorch the hair shaft.

The opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the views of Comcast.Solution: If your hair is fine, add a bit of flip to the ends like Kristen Bell. Look for a flat iron with plates that move slightly, like ghd's Pink Orchid ($200; ghdhair.com). The floating plates and curved edges glide seamlessly over any hair texture, and are perfect for creating movement at your ends.
