BEST FOR Any hair type - although if you've got very curly hair, you'll need to spend extra time straightening it.

GET THE LOOK Shampoo and condition with products specifically designed to smooth the hair cuticle, says Justin German, consulting hairstylist for Pantene. Blow-dry the hair straight using a round brush; when it's almost dry, separate it into sections and roll it into jumbo-sized Velcro rollers. "This will give you a lot of volume and height," says German. Leave the rollers in for about 20 minutes, then brush it out and apply two drops of a silicone-based shine serum. "If you think you need it, use a flatiron on the ends."

DO… Blow-dry your hair in one direction - it will smooth the cuticle and prevent fly-aways.
•
DON'T… Use a flatiron from root to tip-your hair will lose body.
