Using a straightening brush on natural hair requires a few steps:

1. Start with clean, dry hair: Wash and condition your hair, then let it air dry or blow dry it completely before using the straightening brush.

2. Apply a heat protectant: Before using any heat styling tool, apply a heat protectant product to shield your hair from heat damage.

3. Section your hair: Divide your hair into manageable sections using clips or hair ties. This makes the straightening process more efficient.

4. Set the right temperature: Adjust the straightening brush to a suitable temperature for your hair type. Lower temperatures are recommended for fine or damaged hair, while higher temperatures are better for thicker or coarser hair.

5. Begin straightening: Take a section of hair and run the straightening brush through it from roots to ends. Be gentle and avoid tugging or pulling.

6. Repeat the process: Continue straightening one section at a time until you've covered all your hair.

7. Use a comb for extra help: For tight curls or tangles, you can use a comb to help detangle the hair before running the straightening brush through it.

8. Be patient: Take your time and go slowly to achieve the desired straightness. Rushing through the process may lead to uneven results or hair damage.

9. Optional finishing products: If desired, you can use a hair serum or oil to add shine and reduce frizz after straightening.

Remember, excessive heat styling can damage natural hair, so it's essential to use a straightening brush sparingly and incorporate regular deep conditioning treatments to keep your hair healthy.
