Straight Hair Help! PLEASE!(pictures)?

Question

I was pretty much born with the worst hair ever, and i will not be getting my natural hair back anytime soon.

i have tried everything

Relaxers
Japannese hair straighting (most recently)
& Chi straighteners

the relaxers are to damaging and after i wash it for the 1st time its pretty much back to normal, except my roots arent as curly.

Chi straightners - damaging my hair ALOT and i still don't get the straightness i want

Japannese hair straighting - my hair came out wonderful, but again, after i washed it, it was a LITTLE easier to manage and when i blew it out, which pretty much took me the same amount of time it would before i got it done, i got the same results.

here are some pictures of my hair

it looks OK but when you touch it it's kinda gresy, kinky, nappy, stiff,

is there any other things i can try?

Also, in the photos you can see one picture with all the brakage it the front of my hair.

Answer 1

I can't recommend enough the book "Curly Girl" - the care and feeding of curly hair.

It's informative and funny, with lots of great homemade treatments for your hair.

Answer 2

as stupid as it sounds, try that brush that spins. i'm so sorry i can't remember the name. but google "hair straightening brush". my friend bought it from the infomercial and she has the absolute WORST hair to deal with. it takes a while to do, but there are no chemicals or anything like that. just brush through your dry hair and it really really works. for your hair i'd say it would take about an hour or so but you'd only have to do it a couple times a week.

good luck!

oh and ps, it makes your hair look and FEEL silky.

Answer 3

wow, your hair looks a lot like my hair! it gets really poofy when you try to straighten it, right? well, i would try using some heaving conditioners like john frieda and pantene pro-v. using three step systems (like, shampoo, conditioner and serum) help to condition your hair to make it softer and have less flyaways when you straighten it. i like to blow dry my hair first, and then straighten it with a ceramic flat iron on the highest heat setting. but i think you should also embrace your hair. people tell me that they like my wavy hair because it looks natural and compliments me. you have your own unique hair, and it's not always going to look like those girls who were born with natural straight hair! once you accept this fact, you'll find styles that will match your hair and you'll start to love your hair. hope my advice helped.

Answer 4

try pantene. the one for women of color though since your hair is nappy and also get the cream and apply it while your hair is wet then blow dry it. it should make it soft and smooth but if it doesnt then you need a miracle gurl!

Answer 5

Even i used to ask the comparable question to myself as i admire curly hair yet ihve gt rapidly hair. until i got here to understand that it easily relies upon on the genes. or hormones out of your dad and mom to you and from u to ur babies

Answer 6

your hair is broken and damaged. you should AVOID relaxers and straighteners until your hair grows back healthy. embrace the curly hair for a few months.

Answer 7

Try Tresseme' the Gelatin kind or the Silk and protien kind. I us eit and i have wonderful hair. Or try the Grnier Sleek and shine. It really works. It wroked for me.

Answer 8

TRY USING CONAIR STRAIGHTENER WITH TURBO HEAT IT WORKS MIRACLES ON ANY KIND OV HAIR AND IT DOESNT DAMAGE YOUR HAIR THAT MUCH! TRY TO ALSO USE A PROTECTIVE CREAM WHEN U STRAIGTHEN YOUR HAIR!

Answer 9

Use Loreal Paris!!!

Answer 10
