EPTOnce upon a time, about 2 months ago, I got my hair cut. Before I got it cut it was pretty long (30 cm aprox) and it curled ferociously. Now, my hair is about 13-15 cm at the top of my head and shorter in the back and in the sides. I straighten my hair with a flat iron and sometimes use some hair spray. I have started to notice my hair has gone dry compared to before, and I was wondering if it would help if I used mousse or something before I did all this. I use heat protection so I am not completely unaware of the dangers of using a flat iron. Also, does anyone have any tips on styling or something like using mousse, wax, foam or what not to make it shine or something, I really don't know anything. I am not really looking for a specific look, I would just like to have some variation on how I look and be able to have a variety of different looks in my arsenal :D
Thanks for the help.
