This look was achieved by first shampooing the hair with FHI Heat Rapid Effects Accelerating Hydration Shampoo and Conditioning Balm which helps dry the hair up to 50 percent faster. After professionally sectioning the hair for drying, Shauky blow dried with the FHI Heat Nano Salon Pro 2000 taking each division and smoothing the hair straight with a medium round brush.
