Question on straightening hair...?

When I try straightening my hair, it doesn't last very long. It goes right back to being curly. Is there anything I could do to make it last longer? Anything, like tips?

Question on straightening hair...?

Make sure you're using a high-heat straightener. Also, have you tried blowing your hair out with a round brush and a high-power blow dryer?

I also have curly hair, but I love to straighten it. A few little tips that might help you out...

- Use a shampoo designed for "silky" or "straight" hair, like made by Sunsilk. I have to say, it really did help.

- Product is so important. Use a straightening serum that is activated by the heat of your flat iron.

- I have to say, my straightened hair was changed so much by ONE Aveda product. It makes my coarse hair smooth and really keeps it in place even during the most humid days. Most definitely worse spending the money... Changed the way my hair look. http://www.aveda.com/templates/products/...

P.S. Don't straighten your hair too much. When stylists say it damages your hair, it really does. So, keep it to a minimum and be sure to condition the hell out of your hair whenever you can!

Question on straightening hair...?

How exactly do YOU do it? Mine lasts long and this is how I do it:

1. put straightening serum or balm in damp hair

2.blow dry or air dry hair

3. straighten

Also wash the conditioner out of your hair with cold water while working out the tangles and it will be less frizzy. So called frizz removal shapoos rarely work on anyone. Don't use a brush either, use your fingers to comb it.

Question on straightening hair...?

Have you tried a straightening iron? I bought a "Chi" which is supposably one of the best. My hairdresser puts a little "bed head After Party" on when it's dry-just one drop! She uses about 3 drops when it's wet before she blowdries. Then uses the flatiron. I never get it like she does and with curly hair, it never lasts if you live in a humid environment! I just give up and wear it curly if it is supposed to rain.

Question on straightening hair...?

Are you using a flat iron to straighten it or just blow drying it straight? If you use a flat iron and a good straightening serum, such as CHI, it should remain straight until you get it wet again. Make sure your hair is completely dry before ironing it and put the serum on each strand as you iron it. Also make sure you're not putting too much hair through the iron at one time. The less, the better. And keep from running your fingers through your hair when it's straight. For some reason is seems to make it frizz a bit.

Question on straightening hair...?

you might need a better straightener also use hairspray before you straighten it and after. also herbal essances has a shampoo and conditioner in a pink bottle called dangerously straight which really helps me. they also have that in a spray bottle and just use it when you finish your hair. it works.

I have curls, I used to have the same problem. It's a bit pricey but you should try a HotTools brand flattening iron.

But my hair is curly all of the time, because my hair looks better that way.

Best of luck though.

Question on straightening hair...?

To keep hair straight until the next time you wash it, you'll need the following products:

hairdryer

paddle brush (a flat, sqaure hairbrush)

3 large hair clips or banana clips

straightening shampoo and conditioner

straightening balm or mousse

frizz ease hair serum (yes, this one too)

smoothing cream

straightening/flat iron

First, wash your hair with straightening shampoo and conditioner. Towel dry hair.

Next, apply straightening balm or mousse to the entire length of your hair and brush through. This will help to make your hair more manageable. Also, apply a quarter size dallop of frizz ease hair serum to your hair. The frizz ease hair serum will help eliminate frizz, not straighten hair.

Then, separate your hair into 4 even sections: 2 in front on top, and 2 in back of your head. Clip up 3 of the sections and leave 1 of the sections down in the back. Using the paddle brush, aim the hairdryer down onto the hair as you run the brush through your hair. Continue until the section is dry, the move onto the other section in the back. Do this to your entire head until all 4 sections are dry.

Next, using the straightening iron, run the straightening iron down 2 inch sections of hair. Start at the back and work your way forward. Or to save time, just do the top sections of your hair and the hair that frames the face.

Finish the look by taking small amounts of finishing cream and smoothing it onto your hair. This will help keep the style looking shiny.

Question on straightening hair...?

Use a straightening cream on your hair, this will stop it curling after the event. Boots make a decent one for not much money. It is yellow and in a clean chunky toothpaste style tube. This should also protect yourhair. Do take a lot of care not to overstraighten your hair, some curling tongs are very hot and do a lot of damage. I have heard of people losing all their hair this way and having to have extensions.
