Well, that picture was taken about a year ago so my hair has gotten much longer since then but I do about the same thing I did a year ago.
The first and most important thing is that I have to dry my bangs first or else they will just go nuts, so if you have bangs...dry those first! I dont use too much on my hair really, I don't always use align but I do occasionally use it. And I really love the chi silk infusion, I use that about everyday, wet and dry. I've started using a moose everyday too. This helps give me some volume so its not flat to my head. I like Redken Full Frame and Redken Touch Control, both work very well. I only use a brush to help give me volume and to control my bangs. I occasionally will run it through my hair to help get the ends to straighten better. But, I use a really nice blow dryer to. It dries my hair in 4 minutes and leaves no frizz. Its the Chi Rocket. Its amazing. It used to take 10 minutes to dry my hair and it would be all frizzy, once I used the Rocket, I would never go back to the regular hair dryer again. So, as I continue to dry it, I use my hands a lot to move certain hairs where I want them to go. Since my hair has gotten longer, its not as wavy as it was when it was shorter which is a plus. I do use a straightener everyday because I have become accustomed to it. I use the Chi Flat iron as well as the Paul Mitchell flat iron. Both work the same for me. Once I flat iron, I'll tease some of my roots using a fine tooth comb and some big sexy hair spray by Sexy Concepts, and then spray my hair with the Big sexy hair spray and I'm pretty much done. It takes about 20 minutes to do everything for me.
