How to use "Straighten" in context?
When you straighten your hair, you're actually using the natural curve of your hair to create a more symmetrical - and polished - appearance. You can straighten your hair using a variety of methods, but the simplest way to do it is with a flat iron. To straighten your hair with a flat iron, follow these steps:
1. Preheat your flat iron to the temperature that you want to use.
2. Put your hair up in a high knot, if necessary, to keep it from getting in the way of the flat iron.
