I don't own a straightening iron and I don't want to buy one. Is there another way to straighten my hair?

Question

My hair is naturallly a little bit wavy. I want to make it straight once in a while.

Answer 1

You can iron it with a clothes iron. Girls used to do that all the time in the 1960s.

Answer 2

ok, no offense to Cowvictor, but do NOT use a clothing iron. I find that the best way to straighten hair w/o a straightener is to blow dry it as straight as possible, then just use a regular curling iron like you would use a straightener. That is how I straighten my naturally curly hair.

Answer 3

First of all, dont use a clothes iron, it will fry your hair! You wont be able to control not overlapping the sections you already straightened. Second, why dont you just buy one, they are so cheap now days! you could blow it straight but if you didnt already figure that out, you probably wouldnt be able to do it without having frizzy hair. Just give in and buy a flat iron!

Answer 4

If you have a blow-dryer and a large round brush or flat paddle brush you can. Get some straightening balm - Pantene makes a nice one. Just put the balm in when you hair is towel dried and blow dry it while brushing it with the paddle brush. You just have to keep continually brushing. You won't get it as straight as with a flat iron, but it will still look great.

Answer 5

you can use the John Freida products. Use the Straight Answer brand. That's what I use. It comes in shampoo, conditioner, and styling products. Then, just blow dry. However, I still use an straightener after to take out some of the poof and make is sleeker. If you buy one with ceramic plates, they don't damage your hair. :)

Answer 6

Get a blow dry cream (Sunsilk is good), apply to damp hair (avoiding the roots) and use a brush to gently pull the hair straight whilst blow drying. Try to aim the dryer down the hair, and make sure it has a nozzle for better results. And I'd advise using a heat-protection spray to avoid frazzling your hair. Toni and Guy is good, it doesn't smell overpoweringly of alcohol. Try it first with the mini size.

Answer 7

You can use a regular clothing iron. Just get a relative or a friend to help you with, and make sure you cover your hair with a towel before pressing it.
You can always blow dry it straight, too. If you don't know how go here: http://www.ehow.com/how_1324_blow-dry-hair.html

Your best bet is to buy a straightener. Most of them are not that expensive, i don't see why you can't just buy one.

Answer 8

EVERYONE IS RECOMMENDING USING A "CLOTHING IRON" OR SOME SORT OF BLOW DRYER. FIRST OFF YOU SHOULD NEVER USE A :CLOTHING IRON" ON YOUR HAIR! IT'S NOT MEANT FOR IRONING HAIR, IT'S MEANT FOR IRONING CLOTHES. NEXT THERE ARE PRODUCTS OUT THERE FOR STRAIGHTENING HAIR BUT EVERYONE'S HAIR IS DIFFERENT. YOU HAVE TO FIND OUT WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. THE BLOW DRYING THING WILL ONLY WORK WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF A HAIR PRODUCT AND YOU DON'T WANT TO DEPEND ON THAT ALL THE TIME. PLUS IF IT'S VERY HUMID WHERE YOU ARE IT WON'T LAST ANYWAY. TRY THIS,HOW ABOUT PERMING YOUR HAIR. IT MAY SOUND WEIRD BUT AFRICAN AMERICANS "RELAX" THEIR HAIR AND CAUCASIANS "PERM" THEIRS. IT MAY LAST LONGER THEN YOU WANT IT TO, BUT IT WILL HELP.

Answer 9

Use a blowdryer and a brush. When your hair is wet, blow dry it in sections while brushing it out. Go slowly and you should have ok results. A straightening iron would work better though.

Answer 10

This is how you do it, but the proses is long. First get pregnant, then wait unit you child becomes annoying. After that you need to show them you hair or let him/her touch it. In a matter of moments your child will begin pulling you hair in an uncomfortable manner. After a few weeks, you have long, straight, and beautiful looking hair.
