IHR Straightening System

By IHR

Price: from £280

Stockist: Colour Nation

This product has revolutionised my daily beauty routine. I have spiral curly hair that is frizzy and hard to manage if not groomed and preened to perfection every single morning. Now that I’ve had my hair permanently straightened, I wake up and simply brush it and it looks shiny, sleek and expertly blow dried in minutes – it has saved me so much time every day.

The treatment itself takes about four hours. My hair was washed then treated with a product to break down the bonds, it is then ironed straight and a setting solution applied and left to work for quite some time. Finally, my hair was washed, conditioned and dried and I left the salon four hours later with beautifully straight and glossy hair. The only downside was that I couldn’t wash my hair for 48 hours afterwards or tie it up or back for two weeks. This, however, is a small price to pay and the final result is soft sleek straightened hair that is super low maintenance. I love it.

Even though my naturally curly roots will start to come through in weeks, I have been advised that I won’t need my next treatment for around six months.
