When you’ve got a head full of unruly curls that need taming, special styling products can bring your mane into submission and make your strands straight. Although John Frieda has replaced “Frizz-Ease Wind Down Relaxing Creme” with a different smoothing product, you can still find Wind Down for sale on the Web. Use Wind Down Creme for curly hair and get ready for stick-straight tresses.

Comb your damp, just-washed tresses with the wide-tooth comb to detangle completely.

Squeeze a generous dollop of Wind Down Creme into one hand and rub your hands together lightly to spread the goodness evenly over both hands. Apply the product to your mane by running your hands through your tresses from roots to tips. Keep working until you coat your hair completely.

Grab the vented paddle brush and the blow-dryer and get busy. Pull 1-inch sections of hair straight out with the brush and direct the heat of the blow-dryer slowly over the section from roots to tips to dry it. Let this section fall and move on to another section, drying it the same way. Keep working until you dry your whole head completely.

Heat up the flat iron and straighten 1-inch sections of hair to finish the straight style.

Spritz your hair lightly with hair spray to hold the straightness all day or evening.

If you’re not going for ramrod-straight strands, coat your hair with the styling product and then either let it air-dry or use a diffuser with your blow-dryer. The result should be loose curls minus the frizz.
