2 Pour some TRESemmé shampoo into the palm of your hand. Spread it between your hands and distribute it evenly through the hair. 3 Gently massage your hair and scalp. Do not rough up the hair or pull up long hair onto the scalp, as this may cause tangles. 4 Massage your scalp with your fingertips. This stimulates blood circulation and is gentler to the hair cuticles. 5 Rinse your hair thoroughly, as poor rinsing can result in dull hair. Finish with a cold rinse for extra shine. Note: After shampooing, use TRESemmé remoisturising conditioner to detangle the hair and improve its condition. Drying your hair To get super-smooth results, it is essential to prepare your hair for straightening. Dry your hair properly with a hairdryer to ensure a professional, smooth finish. 1 After washing, squeeze excess water out of the hair with your hands and then towel-dry the hair. Use a comb to disentangle the hair gently from the roots to the tips. 2 Divide the hair into sections using clips. Start at the back. 3 To dry each section, pull a straightening brush down the hair length. Follow the brush with the hairdryer, with its nozzle pointing towards the hair ends. 4 When you have finished drying each section, set the hairdryer to the cool setting for a final cool shot. This closes the cuticles and adds shine to the hair. Tip: Philips Salon Pro hairdryers have a lower drying temperature and a stronger airflow than regular dryers. Thanks to this combination, they dry just as quickly as regular hairdryers but in a gentler way. Using the appliance Never leave the appliance unattended when it is plugged in.
