How to straighten 4c Hair

I’m always very excited when I straighten my 4c hair. Because when the process is done it reminds me of my relaxed hair days but with a lot of body and movement.

How do you get your natural hair silky straight? Do you directly start with wet hair?

1. I start with clean, conditioned and detangled hair one day before
   
   
   
2. I like to dry my hair in twists
   
   
3. A heat protectant is a must
   
   
4. Then I gently blow dry the hair to get a uniform stretch
   
   
5. A straightening brush gets my hair and ends very smooth
   
   
6. The flat iron is my final step to silky smooth hair that won’t revert too soon
