Default Winter, static and straightening guy's hair

Hmm. Somewhere I didn't catch the texture of your hair, or I've forgotten. For guys, I tell them about a straightening comb. It's a comb you plug in and simply "comb through your hair". How easy is that? And guys like this way of managing their hair as straighteners are not ideal for shorter hair and you dudes don't like to use them!
Heat is always the key ingredient to temporary re-form the bonds of your hair to either make it curlier or more straight (depending on the appliance of course) and so you're not just combing, the heat will make it silky straight. If it is really thick or curly, turn the comb as you bring it through your hair so the back of it rubs down the hair section. This is how the directions will guide you so you are running an iron down the hair.

You can find them in most department or even drug stores. I'm not sure where you are to guess the cost. I just know that a good one is affordable and definitely worth the way it makes you feel in your new 'do.

It's winter time in the northern hemisphere and that means static can happen with these heated styles so if this does occur, rub a teeny, tiny (and I mean a teeny, tiny) bit of wax or pomade between your hands and rub down the finished style to keep the flyaways away. (in a pinch, lotion ....teeny, tiny bit......will save you if you're out and a winter hat has caused static...unscented for you, of course : )

Good luck and cheers!
