Sleek & Straight with Dove®

A few weeks ago I partnered with Dove® Hair to show you how to create a sleek & straight look at home in less than 10 minutes! I’m so excited to finally share with you the video that Dove® Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend and I did in New York a few weeks ago.

The day of the shoot I washed my hair with Dove® Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner, which left my hair pretty smooth and shiny. I usually don’t blow dry my hair and instead I let it air dry, this day was no exception.

Mark then applied Dove® Nourishing Oil Care Detangle on my dry hair to lightly condition it. And then the fun started! As you can see on the video, he sectioned my hair into top and lower layers before straightening it. Mark told me that one of the biggest mistakes people make is to take big sections of hair and straighten it, because the middle section never gets any heat and instead is just burning the top and bottom layers.

After Mark straightened my hair, he applied  Dove® Style+Care Frizz-Free Shine Cream-Serumwhich delivers nourishment of a cream with the shine benefits of a serum and it smells amazing too. This helped my hair look shiny all day long!

To finish things off Mark applied Dove® Style+Care Strength & Shine Extra Hold Hairspray to a natural bristle toothbrush to prevent any fly-aways. I love that this hairspray strengthens hair styles all day, providing extra hold without all the stiffness. Nothing worse than having your hair feel like a helmet!

Like Mark said, hairstyle starts in the shower so make sure you use great hair products such as Dove® Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner. Remember a nourished base is the foundation for a long lasting style. I hope you enjoy the video and tips.

How to create a sleek & straight look with Dove® Hair at home

I’ve always loved styling my hair since I was a little girl. Sometimes if my mom couldn’t help me style it, I would find ways to do it myself. Things haven’t changed much because I still do my hair every day. So, I am very excited that I have partnered with Dove® Hair to show you how to create a sleek & straight look at home!

The day of the shoot, I arrived at the Style Coalition loft in the Meatpacking District where the video was filmed, bright and early. As soon as I met Dove® Celebrity Stylist Mark Townsend, we hit it off which made the shoot very fun! He immediately put his expertise to work and gave me sleek & straight hair in just minutes. Mark used Dove® Hair products, which provides weightless moisture to the hair leaving it beautifully soft and smooth for long-lasting style. I was so happy with the final result because it gave me a more polished look.

As you can tell from previous pictures, I wear my hair in soft curls for the most part. But thanks to Mark now I can recreate one of his favorite styles in a few simple steps. I have a feeling you will be seeing me wear my hair straight more often! I can’t wait to share the video that Mark and I shot together. You will love all the hair tips!
