I have really thick, poofy hair and it's hard to straighten. I've tried straightening in sections and layers but it still doesn't work very well. I don't know how to get my hair shiny and thin, like how they did it at the salon.
Also, I already have a really good flat iron, a pink Chi, so I don't think that's the problem.
Please help!!! Thanks :)
Help straightening my hair?!? Chis are good :) but after my chi wore out i baught a good hair day straightener (ghd) and it worked alot better than a chi. When i used chi it made my hair have static. idk why though. lol. So at night takea little before you sleep, straighten your hair really good in sections. I spend alot of time doing it at night so it will look perfect. And when you get ready in the morning straighten over the parts that are wavy agian. :)
Help straightening my hair?!? brush through your hair
then put heat protector on it
Help straightening my hair?!? Try using straightening and smothing products before you straighten. Loreal has a good product, I think it's called Hot2Straight. Ask your stylist how they did your hair. If this is what your really want, buy the exact products they used and follow their instructions.
Help straightening my hair?!? I ahve the same problem. i'm not really experienced with doing hair. I go to the Egyptians and get my hair done once a week or every two weeks. they use a blower that contains alot of heat and a roller brush. Plus it only costs $30 and you don't have to perm your hair.
Help straightening my hair?!? blow dry your hair first, then use the flat iron. also try to find a straightening serum [i think john frieda makes one called "frizz ease"] and use that.
Help straightening my hair?!? you could try a shampoo and conditioner for frizzy hair, then put heat protection spray/serum on. blow drying it straight before you straighten might make it less frizzy? the hair products at the salon probably made a huge difference so ask about them.
Help straightening my hair?!? well ask the people at the salon i had the same primal but i try ed every thing so i cant tall you the name of the stuff to us but it comes i a Battle.
Help straightening my hair?!? Me too- it'll take a miracle to make my hair completely straight.
When you find out, tell me!
Help straightening my hair?!? i have similar hair and believe me when i say this..it will be your straighteners that you use! the straighteners that they use in salons are called GHD's...i have them now too and believe me..they work WONDERS on your hair..also about your straighteners..they might be to small...you should get larger ceramic straighteners for thicker hair... to make it shiny and soft use a coconut shampoo or even Head %26amp; Shoulders...when straightning your hair always use a heat protecting spray which prevents you losing hair and also gives you a nice shine...and finally a striaghtening tip... part your hair in the center and get 2 hair bobbles..take out a small section, replace the rest of hair in a bobble...striaghten over till straight then tie in a bobble..repeat until finished
hope i was helpful =] x
Help straightening my hair?!? Always always use product. Especially when you use any type of heat on your hair. I have the same type of hair and am able to get in silky smooth with my CHI and some product. I use Pureology Super Straight, it has heat protection and relaxes any curl in my hair. Remember not to use to much of any product. I also recommend not buying anything over the counter. It is just bad for your hair. You can find all the product you need on ebay or amazon for reasonable prices.
Also I recommend using a round brush and blow dryer first before the iron. For your hair to come out super straight it has to be super dry. If it is not dry when you put the iron in it...the iron will do nothing. Any type of moisture will make you hair strand expand so all of your work will be for nothing. Also some thinning might help. Go hit up your local salon and ask them to remove some bulk from you hair. Also don't be afraid to ask your stylist for some pointers on what you can do to get what you are looking for.
Hope I helped.
Help straightening my hair?!? Never towel dry ur hair, and when u shower, shampoo ur scalp not the end ( it will dry them) and conditioned ur ends and leave a shower cap for 10 mins before rinsing:
1. when ur hair is wet from a shower use a leave in shampoo to protect it (apply it at the ends of ur hair)
2. then apply a serum again to wet hair, distributing all around ur hair
3. part ur hairs in sections starting with the bottom part, blow dry it then using a fine toothed comb to comb through hair after its straight
4. work ur way up
5. If your hair is pin straight apply a pomade like garnier fructise
6. If its not, use ur straitening iron to give it the finishing touch
7. remember to add the pomade at the end
