Learn how to protect and safely straighten your hair and see how you can trim your hair to remove split ends. (Warning: If you do not feel 100% comfortable using cutting shears, or are unsure about how much of your hair to trim, you need to see a professional stylist in your area.)
The beauty of this method is that it works on multiple natural hair types (type 3 and 4) and it is a great way for transitioners to blend new growth with relaxed ends without damage. I hope this tutorial helps you get beautiful, lasting results!

ApHogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer

Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother
Chi Deep Brilliance Reflect
FHI Platform Flat Iron, 1 Inch

Color Information:
Alisha is wearing Creative Image Adore semi-permanent rinse in 68-Crimson. Her natural hair color is very dark brown; her hair was previously lightened three levels (no bleach) which allows this rinse to show vividly. (See more about hair dye basics at moknowshair.com/hairdyebasics )
Total Time:
Total style time for this method is about two and a half hours depending on how fast your hair dries and how quickly you can straighten your hair.
Keep and Care:
To preserve this style, you can do a traditional wrap around your head and secure with a satin scarf, or pin curl sections and cover with a bonnet.

She has really healthy, silky looking hair. Your tutorial is extremely insightful and the methodology is a great guide for naturals in general who wish to straighten their hair without damaging it. Thank you!!
This is by far the best hair straightening video I've seen on RUclips!!! You did a great job on her hair!!!! Very professional!!!
her hair is beautiful!!!! just stunning...love that color too!!!
I just straightened my hair using this method and using all the same products. It came out great! First time straightening my hair in almost 3 years! Thanks!
this is amazing i have never seen anyone with the same EXACT texture hair as me. I know those products would work for me. That style is beautiful btw!
Good job. Her hair looks very healthy.
Wow, the result is fantastic, you look like you know what you're doing for sure.
Mo you really DO know hair.
I must say, you have a very beautiful and calm voice ^^
beautiful!
Yesterday, I used your method from this video and my hair came out wonderful! I have never been able to get my hair this straight before and frizz free! Thank you so much, your hair care vids are the best!
woo child her hair is gorgeous
I will definitely have to try this. My course natural hair never really gets straight but i see why now. I will also use the information within when I trim my hair. A+ on this tut.
Mo Knows Hair thank you for this. I have hair like her's and this really helped me. Except i use my insyler. But my hair lasts 2 weeks or more, until my hair gets oily. But i definitely need to get my ends trimmed
In trying this today this is a much easier watch to get my hair stretched etc love how you put the hair in sections
wonderful video and very informative. I lightened my hair a couple months ago and even with all the treatments my ends are still very brittle so my hair is hard to get straight but when my hair gets back stronger i will definitely try this.
I'm here in 2023. So glad I can still look at these videos from the OGs. I've done most of the steps and I love how my hair looks and feels so far. Thanks Mo!
Hi! I just wanted to tell you that I used your trimming method on my hair and it completely changed the shape of my hair in a wonderful way!! I cut about 2 inches off of mine and I trimmed my sister's hair. I tend to do my own hair because of the length and texture (kinky/curly) of my hair, salon's tend to charge so much. Thank you for this video!!
Very nice tutorial!!! Wished I had seen this before I tried trimming my own hair! Lol... I tried trimming it but I goofed... Thank god my hair still has length.. Wheww!... Thanks for sharing!! :)
Beautiful hair and color. This is the reason I decided to transition (8 months in) because your hair is healthy and thick and I want to achieve the same thing
FF to 2022 & this video shows on my feed. I sure miss the gold old days of RUclips. The market is so over saturation with products & “influencers” I don’t even watch natural hair videos anymore.
I went to high school with Alisha!! Small world :)
Nice job I have hair just like hers maybe a bit more kinky to it lol but I tried it and it worked really well thank you !
wow i wish you could do my hair! Your really good and knowing how the hair works to look its best .
You have a gift ! I love watching your videos . You speak clearly, and even though hair is not too exciting lol, you hold my attention form start to finish. Oh yeah, you DEFINITELY know hair too ! Keep it up boo .
Love it! Thanks for the tutorial. Also, I'm happy to see the products used aren't too EXPENSIVE!
I just found your channel and fell in LOVE! I have watched your videos over and over, Your videos are such a help. It's entertaining but still straight to the point. Please continue sharing videos. You are my RUclipsr for the month lol.
I say yes to her hair color! lol It's beautiful!
Great video to help naturals who haven't found a stylist to straighten their hair the right way and without heat damage. Her hair was healthy and silky. Please remember she has a stylist who helps her to keep her hair trimmed, healthy curly and/or straight.
Omg I'm so happy i found this. I have the same hair type and a little more length
I followed this precisely, and I must say the results are amazing! Thank you for this video!!
That was pure perfection!!!! Good job! !! I enjoyed watching and it was very informative! Thanks
Thank you so much for your techniques and tips!!! my Clients hair came out beautiful!!!! omg there were no tangles or kinks.. Thank you so much!!!
I love it!! I am going to incorporate this into my regimen...
I have that exact same flat iron. My stylist suggested either that one or the babyliss pro one to me and I bought the fhi platform. It is so good on relaxed/natural hair.
that style came out beautifully.
I am truly a fan of your work! I've been natural for 2 years, but have been wearing extensions for years. I recently had them taken out because I want to take care of my own hair. I gained significant growth, but my hair is very fine. I love wearing my hair straight and want to learns ways to thicken my hair. I plan on visiting your blog and keeping up with your videos for more tips in how to do these things and more importantly, do other styles besides just straightening to avoid heat damage.
I can't wait to see what my curls look like. I know in the back bottom and sides it's 3c. Looks kinda wavy in the middle back not much curl. Then again I always wear it in a bun. But in the top I have some heat damage so I am in restore mode. I love this vid
"Unless you can somehow surround yourself with mirrors for collective viewing" lol. I really like how you clearly explained every step of this tutorial. Great video!
Mo, you definitely know hair. This was the best video I have seen in how to trim and straighten hair.
Beautiful! You're an excellent stylist! Thanks!

It's gorgeous! Really like the way you did the loose waves around the face, the framing is flawless...i can never get that bit right. Also liked seeing your use of products before the iron...i totally need to do that, but am always afraid to burn my hair as a result. Def gonna check that aveda product, too.
Wish I watched this before I flat ironed & trimmed my hair. At least I know what to use next time! Thank you Mo!
Beautiful hair and well done by the stylist!! I love the versitility of natural hair !

I can't stop rewatching all these videos!
This really helps, my daughter has this type of hair and I got it straightened for the first time and the stylist told me she needed a trim, she had those fried looking ends. I was lost as to how to fix that, not sure I trust a stylist to trim her hair especially if they are scissor happy.
She has gorgeous hair and I love the color. Great job!!
Lol I love the warning you placed. You did a great job :)
I like the color. . You did great
Simply excellent tutorial. Thank you!
All hail queen of the flat iron, empress of the blow dryer! This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. I love how the hair is flowing at the end and not a greasy stiff mess at the end. I can't wait to do this to my hair this weekend.
great job love the color
Great video! thank you. her hair looks lush too
Came out so beautiful..wow
Very pretty! Love the color too!
I wish you lived by me to do my hair.
I love it...such beautiful hair

Subbing to your channel was one of the best things I've done all day! On vacation break thank God or I would be in trouble having done nothing but watch your vids all morning. lol I'm glad you are doing videos. I usually don't read blogs, so videos help out. I have checked out your blog though and I like it! Keep up the good work.
Brilliant beautiful work!!! Masterful!!!!
That was pure perfection!!! And very informative!!! Great job
That turned out really nice.
Of all the 1,000s of flat ironing videos on RUclips, this was probably the most thorough and helpful one yet! Especially the trimming portion. Thanks for filming this! :)
Beautiful hair and great management with her hair growth.
Ah! You make it look so easy. Her hair looks great!
great job!!!! this video helps me get back into takeing care of my hair again, befor i went into weave and protective styles my hair was only 5-6 inches after i cut the damage off and now its 13- 14 inches ,i didnt know what to do or what products to use but now that i see this video i have an idea

naturallycurly.com
I am new to your channel and I am loving the natural & healthy styles.
beautiful hair, it looks healthy as well
i have 4b/4c hair it would be great if you could show how you straighten this type of texture or even with the rollerset. It would be great so i can see how best I could do this for myself
great video, very informative and beautiful results!
