From Curly to Loose Waves with KQC

I have very thick, VERY curly shoulder-length hair. Even though they can be hard to manage sometimes, I love my curls and don't straighten them often. The idea of damaging my hair with the hot temperatures of styling tools terrifies me, so I try to steer clear of flat irons and blow dryers as much as I can.

Last month, my fiancé and I had our engagement photo shoot and I decided to try a different hair style. I asked my hairdresser to straighten my hair as much as possible and give me big, loose waves. She pulled out a KQC Professional Ceramic Styling Iron and got to work. Here's what she was able to accomplish -

Before : 

Very tight, very thick, corkscrew curls 

After :

Long, loose waves

To achieve this look, my hairdresser began at the root and slowly moved the iron down the hair shaft from top to bottom. She straightened small pieces of hair at a time. Once my hair was straightened, she went back and gently flipped and curled the ends for a loose, wavy look. She finished by securing the waves in place with hairspray.

I was really happy with the overall look, but even more happy to find that my hair wasn't damaged! In fact, I was amazed by how shiny and healthy my hair looked. After a good wash and shampoo, my hair was back to being curly and my curls were not "fried" as I had worried they might be.

The KQC gets a five star rating from me and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking to straighten thick, frizzy hair.
