In this tutorial I use my tried and true silk roller wrap method to straighten my hair, this time using Aveda’s Smooth Infusion line.
Featured products:
Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo
Aveda Smooth Infusion Conditioner
Aveda Smooth Infusion Style-Prep Smoother
All of the products in the Smooth Infusion line contain babassu oil, often referred to as coconut oil’s cousin, it is a lighter-weight emollient that improves elasticity with extreme penetrating moisture. Additionally, they are all plant-infused with blends of organic aloe, maize and guar bean that all work to create a smooth surface and prevent frizzing on straight styles. This line is specifically designed for straightening wavy, curly and coily textures, and is safe for color-treated hair. Because the ingredients are mostly plant-derived, they do not permanently modify the hair’s natural bonds, or curl pattern. Each product is formulated with tapioca starch and maize, which help block humidity and smooth the cuticle to reduce frizz.
Additional products and tools:
Aveda Brilliant Emollient Finishing Gloss
Thermal Hair Care Hot Head Deep Conditioning Cap
ApHogee Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer
Motions Foaming Wrap Lotion
Chi Deep Brilliance Reflect
FHI Platform Series 1 Inch Ceramic Flatiron
Silk scarf
Total time:
Total time for everything was about three and a half hours. Sounds like a lot, but I only do this maybe two or three times a year, and this is the only time I’ve done it this year, so to me it’s totally worth it since my hair will be voluminous, bouncy-straight for at least a week or more if I choose!
Keep and care:
At you can wrap your hair around your head and secure with a silk scarf, or if you are wearing flat iron curls, secure sections of hair in large bantu knots and cover with a satin bonnet.

[@cosmickitty9533]

Your hair is freaking luxurious!!! Beautiful! Funny how properly straightened African hair actually looks prettier than naturally straight caucasian hair.

[@postonsf]

I completely agree

[@leia7517]

True it looks like Indian hair

[@I_am_divanicole]

Shelby Poston because it's full and flowy, not thin and flat

[@postonsf]

Right!

[@CTS55555]

True, coming from someone like me with both ethnicities, I couldn't agree more.

[@cbchang6200]

I have been on my hair growth journey for 18 months and my hair is healthier than it has ever been and just past my waist in length. I do not use any direct heat on my hair. In a few months on my 2 year hair anniversary I want to straighten my hair. I am going to the salon and getting the roller set silk wrap done. Thanks for this video. 👍🏽🤗

[@MoKnowsHair]

That’s so good! 🥂🎉

[@Sfigs22]

You are the most informative hair stylist on you tube. Not only do you explain each process, but you also explain the products that you use. I absolutely love your videos.

[@LaTishaStyles]

Your original roller set video gave me life! lol My hair is growing like crazy. Thanks for sharing an update!

[@LaTishaStyles]

+Young Finances I just went to my stylist yesterday and she told me my hair is getting so long! It's down past my armpits now. Woot woot! haha

[@animemaplestorygirl]

You're the only person I would ever trust to do my hair. You're so knowledgeable! Please open a salon! I'm sure we'd all fly many miles.

[@CandiestoftheLands]

I have been watching your vids for almost a year and your hair has grown SO MUCH!!!!! You do a wonderful job and I am so happy that you show so many versatile styles and textures! Thank you for all of the advice and keep it coming! You are a staple for my hair growth. Not a product, but your vids and wisdom.

[@MoKnowsHair]

I Miss the Boondocks! :-)

[@samstylist9173]

You know when someone just comes in and totally answers every single one of your hair prayers!!! 👌👌👌👌...so much love Mo you rock! ☺️( and your hair is so on point it's insane! 👌)

[@tatianas5049]

I love the length of your hair! It is definitely the length I'm trying to get to. Your hair looks so healthy!

[@leeluv96]

Did anyone else see that little smile she made when she finished putting on her scarf for the night? Adorable.

[@devonhoward3310]

You give KNOWLEDGE in ever video I've seen so far. You give information I can take and use on my hair and know it will work because it's not trial and error information or "if you have this type of hair' it's facts you've learned about products and hair. Thank you!!

[@sassy0307]

You never cease to amaze me with all of your hair knowledge, tips and tricks. Your hair is so healthy and beautiful!

[@TracyDFranklin]

That hair is the truth!!!!! I love how you explain the products in detail and how your hair will benefit from them. Very informative tutorials!

[@honeybee1226]

You dont know how much I love your channel. Your videos are so informative and refreshing. I cant wait to try this roller set routine today.

[@allofdestiny]

Your hair is amazing. Im lost for what to even say right now. Flawless lol. Soo silky. Smooth. Bouncy. Perfect. Nice ends also .i love this method . I have relaxed hair but I like rollersetting tp straighten as well.

[@chanelpink9121]

Yesss

[@SqualieM21]

I LOVE your channel. I could always sit and watch the entire thing without a blink

[@bsheezybdazz]

YOUR HAIR MAKES MY MOUTH WATER! you give me hope!

[@sherdonlavan1818]

I am completely in love with your finish. That's what we as hair care professionals strive for with every client. I'm so glad that you're conveying the correct information as well as leaving certain items as a matter of choice. Beautifully executed from start to glorious finish.

[@Stylegraceandfaith]

Your hair is the perfect texture! The volume you have is amazing. Simply beautiful. I love it.

[@mafedeso]

I haven't straightened my hair in over a decade and I don't plan on doing it again any time soon, but I can't stop watching your videos! lol Your work is so beautiful! You explain everything so well! If I ever decide to straighten it I'll definitely use your tips! I'm loving it! Thank you for sharing! :-)

[@joshgrabslemons]

This is such a good technique because it is showing a lot of women how to achieve the same results in a different method! Not everyone can just straighten their hair right out of the shower. I love Aveda's products, and you are ON POINT with the fragrance girl! Definitely some of the best products out there, and they smell out of this world! Love it :)

[@kaelabee1234]

I see the length !! It's growing. Beautiful as always.

[@bricao5674]

Your hair turned out beautifully

[@pinkxiheart]

Each stage just got better and better

[@sadibarry]

Your Hair Is So Beautiful And Healthy! Goals

[@comptonqueen4495]

You remind me of Chaka khan back in the day 💘

[@PrincessRell09]

Mo Knows Hair I love your tutorials! I learn so many things each time I watch one. I used to use a similar technique in college, but I never knew I was partially silk wrapping my hair! Also, I have a babyliss and I couldn't figure out why my hair was breaking off; now I know! Thank you for your insight! Be blessed! ☺

[@ShaneiceCrystal]

wow love the results

[@MesereteUzondu]

Mo really knows hair ... Your hair looks so good!

[@Yuumidwnbad]

Love each video you come out with!

[@_NaturallyMo_]

Me too she's so full of information

[@_NaturallyMo_]

Me too! In transitioning right now! Her & the glamtwinz inspire me a lot!

[@karleecraziness9216]

Monique White Well her yt name suits her!

[@ceciliamaben]

Hunty I am jealous every time you do this method. I have been natural for 4yrs now and I'm use to see grow every now and then but now my hair has seemed to stop growing. I'm at about 4in in certain spots. Im so ready to give up on being natural but I don't want to go back to perms tho. U are my inspiration. Love ya Mo

[@DonelleLatrice]

I've eyed up this vid for a while. I don't have patience to try rollers. Lol. I think I am going to try this with my curformers. I've been missing straight hair and blowing it out is not my cup of tea anymore. Absolutely love your channel, Monica!

[@UstwotwinsStokes]

your hair looks so thick and healthy, I love it!! and the color is gorgeous

[@MsFlyaTee]

Your hair is everything!! I put a perm in my hair after nearly 6 yrs of being natural because detangling my roots was a terrible experience every single wash day. I tried everything from detangling shampoos to homemade "cocktails"..NOTHING worked so I felt I had no choice. I should have went to a professional but oh well! I will jst look at your fab videos for inspiration & hopefully detangling won't be so bad the 2nd time around! ☺

[@perneshastevens6895]

omg her hair looks so soft

[@MissNeeNee813]

Your hair is absolutely beautiful. I love your hair in all styles!

[@_mojojojeaux]

I love the color of her hair. It's beautiful

[@AccordingToBrii]

I'm new to your channel but this tutorial has me hooked!!! You're so informative, like-able, and your hair is amazing! Thanks for this video. I will definitely be trying this for my hubby's birthday!

[@drgilliard]

I love your hair!! It looks beyond healthy and has a nice glow to it! Great job!

[@desireearriaga4865]

your hair looks so healthy and pretty

[@AmazonianStar444]

You're hair is absolutely amazing! I wish I started roller setting in middle school. I wouldn't be thirty and struggling! Watching your videos help alot!

[@MsChicoro]

Excellent, excellent tutorial. Thorough, detailed and extremely helpful. And the hair came out....ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Wow!

[@ewilkening107]

Thank you so much for making this video! I just bought the travel sizes of the Smooth Infusion line to try out. The part that really helped me was where you wrapped your hair in the plastic! Haven't done that part before but I'm willing to try it! Doing my hair for a special event. Excited to try this out! Thanks again! ☺👍

[@PSALMSOFSONGS]

Did anybody else get mad when she wrapped those beautiful curls? Lol. Oh, Mo, I love your channel. 😍

[@takaylaalicia]

Her hair is so healthy,thick and long 😩 I just want to cry.

[@kertrediaboyd1240]

Hi Mo! I found your channel last night as I had become frustrated with my 4c, 8 month post relaxer transitioning hair! I'm sitting under the dryer using your roller wrap method as we speak! I pray it turns out well! I have two natutal daughters (and one daughter on the way), so I hope to be able to use this on their hair. Their hair textures are less course than mine, but I notice that the more often I straighten their hair, the less breakage they have! God bless!

[@cupcakeimanijohnson2488]

I am so amazed that I am binge watching your videos 🙆🏾🙆🏾

[@sassa1971]

You are amazing I watch your videos every day thank you for sharing that information I learned from u how to take care of my hair

[@MoKnowsHair]

💜🙌🏾

[@DrkNSwt]

Love the results, I have not seen nor heard much about the brand Aveda, thanks for the introduction Mo.

[@essenceburton7511]

I wanna try stopping after the wrap. I love the body you had in your hair during that part

[@MoKnowsHair]

Essence Burton I've done it before plenty of times....you definitely can!

[@sophiablack8611]

Your layers are all that your hair is sooo beautiful omg!

[@LillyRoseValore]

Wow your hair grew alot . So wonderful. It has always been long but its awsome to see how long its gotten

[@mftired]

yaaasss that color is everything!!! your hair looks so beautiful and healthy.. I love it!!

[@queencherie]

Your hair is absolutely amazing and so healthy!

[@Lovejoyful606]

Your hair is so right girl...I miss my hair..I permed it after 6 years of being natural what a mistake..low iron in my blood took an extra toll..now I'm back on the natural road can't wait to get back!

[@deneshiahoward1967]

I was so in love with the results

[@kacewill]

I'm loving this! Its unbelieveably silky. I'm tempted to try straightening my 'fro again. Only draw back for me would be the initial lay out for all those products. Heat protectants are so very necessary and I like how you explain your layering process on each product. Thanks for the video.

[@jahdy01]

Your hair seems to come out great, no matter what products you use. I hope this method will work on my type 4 hair.

[@a5anointed705]

+Shakiah Taylor I have 3c/4a hair, it's totally different from Mo's, but I did exactly what she did with a few different products and my hair came out very sleek with a lot of bounce. Way better than when I used a blow dryer which always gave me really stiff results.

[@jahdy01]

+A5 anointed (A5anointed) cool, thanks for responding 😊

[@jsarabi2309]

I JUST FEEL IN LOVE WITH YOUR HAIR ALLLLL OVER AGAIN!!!!!!! I LOVVVVVE IT!!!

[@amaricallista]

I am absolutely in love with your hair!

[@Smilemaker4u]

I absolutely LOVE your tutorials. You are very informative and thorough in your descriptions of the products which is such a plus. Beautiful hair by the way :-).

[@rhondamillerbryant1218]

I tried this tonight with products I had on hand. Let me start with that I think we can agree that Mo makes these processes seem effortless. My first roller set and I must say it came out better than anticipated. I could tell where the frizz was going to be because there were a few rollers that were challenging to get in. LOL. an hour under the dryer. Used Creme of Nature Argan Oil Smooth Defense heat protector + Saran Wrap. That definitely smoothed out some of the frizz from my not-so-smooth roller set. Once I get better with the roller set I will stop there. BUT this time I had to hit it with the flat iron. Will be curious to see how this last vs blow drying. I definitely appreciate the lower amt of direct heat using this method. Will be even better once I get better with the roller set. Love your tutorials and tips, Mo!

[@CarlyneDTQTonPod]

Thanks Mo. I had my hair braided for a full year growing to a great length. But after only about 7 months my healthy hair is already starting to show signs that it needs some help to stay that way.

[@highblueceiling]
