With all the modern ceramic hair straighteners on the market, it’s not difficult to get straight hair, however it is important to always use a protective product. To keep it in tip-top condition, take a leaf out of the Indian book of haircare and oil your hair once a week.

ndian women know
that one of their most alluring features is their hair. Thick, shiny and
dark it is sought after the world over – so much so, that the highest
quality human hair extensions are from Indian women. But as
well as being blessed by nature, they also know how to look after their
hair, preferring natural oils to chemical products that strip hair.
The
good news is that even if you are not Indian, you too can emulate their
gorgeous locks. Dyeing the hair dark is the first step. Many types of
dye will also help to thicken the hair shaft. Remember to choose a shade

Our
model’s hair is in an intricate Indian style that is difficult to
achieve at home. The key is to part the hair to the side and then sweep
the hair back creating a sleek and shiny front. Secure the length of the
hair in a ponytail, then take sections from the top of the ponytail and
loop them over securing with “invisible” hairpins. To get the thick
sausage shape, padding is sometimes used with thinner hair. Once you
have achieved this tricky style, set with hairspray so it doesn’t fall
out on your big night.
