If like Shakira, you like to wear your voluminous, bouncy curls straight and sleek once in a while we’d recommend that you first shampoo with MIZANI Renew Strength Shampoo. As excessively curly hair that is regularly styled with heat appliances can be damaged, it’s important to fortify your hair whilst you cleanse it. MIZANI Renew Strength Shampoo is formulated with strengthening ceramide and protein as well as moisturising olive fruit oil to maintain your optimal protein/moisture balance.

Then use MIZANI Renew Strength Gelée with its quick absorbing formula that is designed to further strengthen and smooth damaged your hair. Once your hair has been thoroughly rinsed and towel dried, section it and then smooth MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum, sparingly, through each section. This botanically enriched, heat activated style serum is formulated with patented anti-breakage ceramide technology to help strengthen hair leaving it with a natural shine. This nourishing serum creates body and doesn’t weigh the hair down.

Achieving Beyoncé’s bouncy curls (see image below) is all about caring for the condition of your hair!! The only way to do this is with Mizani Hair Care Products designed specifically for Black and Afro hair. Simply follow the detailed instructions below to get the 'Beyonce Look':

• First wash the hair with MIZANI Botanifying Shampoo which gently cleanses the hair and scalp whilst restoring the natural moisture balance.
• Then condition the hair with MIZANI Fulfyl Conditioning Treatment. This unique formula helps seal in moisture to prevent heat surface damage as well as combining protein and moisture into a balance-sustaining formula for the basic maintenance of the hair.
• Then towel dry your hair.
• If your hair is relaxed or permanently straightened, section the hair and apply MIZANI Setting Lotion to each section before roller-setting. This Setting Lotion has advanced fixatives balanced with shea butter and ceramides for long lasting hold. It is heat activated as well as providing heat protection whilst adding shine and improving the hair’s strength.
• If you have a hood dryer sit under it until the set is dry. Once the set is cool, gently take out the rollers. If you don’t have a hood dryer you can just wait for the set to dry naturally. If your hair is naturally curly it’s best to blow dry the hair straight first with the Setting Lotion before setting it on rollers.
• Once all the rollers have been carefully removed, gently finger comb the curls to loosen them and tease them into place using MIZANI Shimmer Reflects Spritz for added shine and hold. This light hold spritz also provides UV protection which is imperative in maintaining the health of your hair as we enter the summer months.

If you have straight hair that is very thick and coarse, MIZANI hair care products could be perfect for you.

To achieve the shiny straight look below, follow these simple instructions:

• First wash your hair with MIZANI Puriphying Shampoo to thoroughly cleanse the hair and scalp and remove any product build up.
• Then condition your hair with MIZANI Fulfyl Conditioning Treatment which restores your hair’s natural moisture/protein balance.
• Once your hair has been gently towel dried use a small amount of MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum. This botanically enriched, heat activated serum is formulated with anti-breakage ceramide technology to improve your hair’s tensile strength leaving your hair feeling strong, shiny and full of body. 
• Therefore this serum is perfect for achieving this look with your hairdryer and then your straighteners.

To achieve this high impact style first shampoo your hair with MIZANI Botanifying Shampoo and then condition with MIZANI Moisturfusion Conditioner. Both of these will restore the natural protein/moisture balance to the hair.

• This style is best achieved by working with the natural curl of your hair, so apply MIZANI Silk Defining Mousse to your wet hair in a scrunching motion. This luxurious mousse defines curl patterns, adds shine and leaves each strand in place with a silky smooth feel.
• Once the mousse is distributed throughout your hair use a diffuser on a low heat setting to gently dry the hair.
• Once dry, use MIZANI Spradiance High Gloss serum to add a lustrous shine. This alcohol-free serum gives a natural looking long lasting shine and it includes natural extracts and conditioning agents.
• Finish your big curls style by using your fingers to loosen, separate and tease your curls until the desired shape is achieved.

To achieve this elegant and dramatic braided style, follow the steps below:

1. First shampoo hair with MIZANI Botanifying Shampoo which is great for cleansing but gentle enough to use every day as it cleanses the hair and scalp while restoring a natural moisture balance.
2. Then rinse and gently towel blot dry before applying MIZANI Moisturfuse Conditioner which has natural oils and botanical ingredients that deeply moisturise dry hair.
3. Once the hair has been thoroughly rinsed and towel dried apply MIZANI Thermastrength Style Serum to the hair section by section. Thermastrength Style Serum is a botanically enriched, heat activated serum that protects from heat and helps improve the hair’s tensile strength. So it is great for blowdrying hair straight or using with ghd hair straighteners.
4. Once the hair has been blow dried straight, secure it in a ponytail at the crown of the head with a band. It’s always best to use a smooth band to reduce breakage.
5. Now apply MIZANI Shimmer Reflects Gel to the length of the ponytail before braiding it. Shimmer Reflects Gel is an alcohol free, medium hold gel that gives a non flaking hold which is essential to achieving this style.
6. Then wrap the braid around the head securing to the head with grips.
7. The longer your hair, the more bends and swirls you can create with the braid. Adding extensions is a great way of immediately creating extra length and therefore more dramatic effect. To finish, mist the style with MIZANI Shimmer Reflects Spritz. The gold mica in the product creates a great natural shine.
