Straitening Hair?

I have chemically straitened hair, my hair is naturally thick, somewhat healthy, and very very strong. The dark side of this is that my natural hair is growing out and it's very curly, at this point all it is doing is adding volume (which I absolutely hate) and on days I want perfectly straight hair I have to go and straighten almost every piece to reduce volume, (and this takes about 2.5 hours with a bunch of products, a ceramic hair straightener, a brush, and a blow dryer) I have short lower jaw lengthened hair, this makes straitening the back a challenge (also, getting it cut or thinned is not an option, I very recently got that done).

So I am looking for a product that can help me get something that looks like this:

Go to the salon and tell them your problem.They'll probably give you a product to help and show you how to do your hair like that better.And maybe straigten your hair so it stays like that for a while.

i have pretty curly hair. but, ive gotten it pretty thick and healthy.

for that reason, and the reason it just gets frizzy and nasty, i dont really straighten it with a ceramic straightener or blow dryer.

i really like//want straight hair though.

is there anything i can do that is safe for my hair but will get it straight?

and im not looking for a permanent straight...maybe just a way to relax it even just into waves for a couple days//weeks//whatev.

thanx.

Unless you use a flat iron it won't get straighten my dear. Invest in a Chi. It's totally worth it.

Straightening hair possible?

they have at home straighting systems at the super markets, but i think they dry out your hair, or you could go to a salon and get it relaxed its not permanent

Straightening hair possible?

i used to have the same problem but then i bought a really good straightener.it's 100% ceramic so it wont damage yer hair.and it wont take as long as a regular straightener it was expensive but it was so worth it. if u dont want to use a har dryer get wet/dry version of this kind of straightener it costs more but there r garunteed results

Straightening hair possible?

If you have naturally curly hair the only way to straighten it is a straightening iron or a very large barrel curling iron (the largest you can find). My sister's and I have found this is only only thing that works with very thick curly hair. All three of us have thick curly hair, and we all use a straightening cream that protects the hair from the heat, and use some type of iron on it.

Use an ionic flat iron. It will not curl back easly.

Solia makes a Tourmaline Ceramic Ionic Flat Iron.

According to the Solia flat iron website, "tourmaline,

a precious stone, is used to generate up to 6 times more

negative ions than traditional ceramic irons".( $75/85)

Yeah, my hair is thick to start.

How can my hair be like his? Blow dryers, volumizing shampoo, what?

Does wearing a visor beanie help shape it? What would it do?

Does it look good (preferred answers coming from teens please)?

Shaggy hair. I want it. PICS inside?

Well have you tried going to a salon and having them shape your hair for you? hair is weird because you pretty much have to train it to do what you want it to.

i think its cute

My hair was still curly/wavy when wet after a thermal straightening process. Normal?

Hi all. I just came home from having my hair thermally straightened. The problem is, everyone says their hair was stick-straight after the treatment. Mine was not, before styling. Here are the steps used:

1. porosity equalizer applied.

2. The actual chemical product was applied with a brush, processed, then rinsed.

3. My hair was dried to remove 80-90% of the moisture. A flat iron was used. This part looked great!

4. A neutralizer was applied.

5. My hair was rinsed to remove the neutralizer. My hair was still wavy. It's wasn't as springy as my normal curls, but still not stick-straight.

6. Hair was styled straight with a blow-dryer and creme.

So my question is, is it normal for my hair to have been wavy after washing out the neutralizer? Should it have been stick-straight? I've never had this done before and don't know anyone else who has. I have 48 hours to go before I can wash my hair and I'm so worried. Did I just waste my money? Please share your experiences!

If you wait however long they told you to wait, and you wash it, and it's curly/wavy, go back and tell them...they should redo it free if it's not right.

Help i need hair tips?

ok so i long hair 4 inches from my underwear line and it is like frizzy i have gel a blow dryer an astrait iron also my hair is puffy so what will look good i tried everything side bangs layers ponytails side bang looks good but i need to no where to part it i have 2 step layers and side bangs also i dont want to cut it canu show me picks my hair is brown with red and blond high lights sorry about spelling

Help i need hair tips?

well the first thing i would suggest is to cut it alittle...nbot too much tho, to make it lighter...for teh firzziness i would use some shampoos, or when your hair is wet keep in braids or together in one spot..then before it dries completely add some moose or hair spray.

Help i need hair tips?

Oh! Don't cut your hair. Use some oil, olive oil or King-Coconut. Put some oil on to your left palm and dip right hand fingers. Gently apply all over the hair. Then Brush well. It is very beautiful when hair "Moves as a single body"

Hair gel gives me lots of problems. Straighr iron will definetely damage your hair.

Keep a hair brush with you, preferably made with organic bristles.

I WANT DRY HAIR.

Major hair problem!!!?

I know lemon juice will make your hair dry

Major hair problem!!!?

ask a salon for some diffrent shampoo that makes ur hair less oily...

Major hair problem!!!?

sounds counterintuitive but washing it less might help. Washing hair daily causes your body to make more oil.

Major hair problem!!!?

U have some dry shampoo on the market, try find them online, not sure of the brands. dont use any oils or anything that would make it shiny

Major hair problem!!!?
