how do i straighten my thick hair and make it stay str8? cause ti always puffs out in an hour or two?

Answer 1

make sure you have some straighteners that heat up to 200 degrees +. these are the only ones that make your hair stay straight. there are also a lot of good hair products out there that aren't very expensive. i wouldn't recommened getting your hair chemically straightened because it can be expensive, and when your hair starts to grow, the roots will start going frizzy!

Answer 2

There is a flatiron called the Chi. It's made with a mineral called tourmaline embedded in the plates. It's expensive, but I have heard that it straightens hair extrememly well. Many Black hairdressers seem to swear by these.

My hair puffs up too. I haven't bought the flatiron yet but when I get some extra change I will look into it.

Answer 3

I would recommend that after you wash your hair, you use a straightening balm. Then blow dry your hair in sections using a paddle brush and also make sure you use a nozzle so you don't get flyaways while blow drying your hair. You are going to see the best results if you use a very good straightener. It is also important to use a heat protection spray before using your straightener-- this protects your hair from further heat damage. Good luck!

Answer 4

Instead of your normal flat iron, try using an actual iron (yes for clothes). Not only does it make your hair straight and silky sleek, but it also takes away the frizz. Use a towel on the other side of the iron and straighten downwards. It works perfectly.

Answer 5

Not sure how you are blowdrying your hair. You should blowdry your hair piece by piece with a flat brush or round brush if you want more body and volume. And of course use a straightening iron if you aren't already using one. You should also try using a straightening balm. My hair is very curly and I get it super straight doing it just like that. Maybe you should try a relaxer to

2 ways i know work, done them myself. the easiest way is to get a hot flat iron from walmart or beauty supply store. spray each section of hair with hairspray and then smooth with flat iron, will last until next shampooing. the other way is to get a home perm and use the solution on your hair them comb hair stick straight and sit still for 20 minutes the rinse and go to step 2 the netralizer and do the same procedure for 10 min, rinse shampoo style with blowdryer will last about 6 months. ( have someone help you)

Answer 7

You should try going to a hair salon and learning how to blow dry your hair properly...this has less damage than the other options offered and it also has a better lasting effect and looks a lot more natural than the use of straighteners.

Answer 8

Purchase yourself a ceramic straightening iron. It straightens even the thickest hair! I just ordered one from overstock.com 2 weeks ago and it works wonders!!! It even works on damp hair but always use a heat protectant!

Answer 9

i have thick and curly hair too. i found that the pantene sleek and smooth line works really well. you just use the shampoo and conditioner as normal, then towel dry and comb. smooth in the straightening cream and blow dry or air dry. once your hair is dry use a ceramic flat iron in small sections at a time. add some shine serum and your done.

Answer 10

Use Garnier's product that reduces frizz and holds the style. I think it's called something like Soothing Milk ...something. Anyway, you'll know it when you see it! It's the best! Between that and my awesome straightener (you NEED a good one), I am set!
