Straight Talk

I have pretty straight hair, but even when I blow dry it, it doesn't get completely straight most of the time.  And when I do, it's usually a little frizzy.  But with the fantastic combo of Redken's Align 12 Protective Straightening Lotion and my trusty straightener, I can get pin-straight locks without all that much effort.  (I'm all about making the lowest effort possible to get results).  I just use a few pumps of the Straightening Lotion, which is lightweight, and it really helps get rid of the weird, twisty kinks that sometimes my hair gets.  (Of course I can't get big, loose curls.  Of  course...)  The lotion leaves my hair soft, but it seems to make it a lot less frizzy and it definitely helps make it as straight as possible.  I've never really tried any products to make my hair straighter (I'm usually trying to do the opposite) so it's kind of a revelation for me.  Especially because Redken has other straightening products, like Sheer Straight 06, a straightening gel that I'm really going to need to try next.  Who knew I could ever be excited about my boring, straight hair?
