Always wondered how the pros achieve the perfect straight? Here are their tried and tested tips for a sleek blow-dry.

• First, assess the amount of Smooth Infusion ™ Naturally Straight to apply to your hair with the ‘ponytail test.’ Divide your hair into two sections. Gather one section in a ponytail with your forefinger and thumb at the scalp. The circumference indicates the bespoke amount your hair needs for that section. If in doubt, start with a little less. You can always add more. Repeat for second section.

• Apply the styling cream to one section at a time. Work the product through from the ends up to the roots in downward strokes and repeat on the other side. Comb through hair to ensure each strand is coated.

• Blow-dry hair in sections. Start from the hairline at the back and work up. Pull each section of hair taut with a brush. Use a nozzle to direct the air flow down the hair to create a smooth, salon-style finish.
