Mixed Chicks Straightening SerumMixed Chicks Straightening Serum

Use this for: Sleek & Straight Prom Hair

No one says you can’t be a curly girl rocking straight hair for prom. If you want the straight look then here’s a list that will get you what you need without harming your tresses.

Heat protectants are necessary and beneficial so don’t even think about rocking a straight style without them. A study a few years ago from the University of Manchester found that steering clear of water based heat protectants was best and instead look for ingredients with oils and solvents.

Mixed Chicks Straightening Serum will temporarily give your hair the smooth and sleek style you looking for without damaging your curls. This thermal protectant is humidity resistant and will cut your drying time in half.
