Answer 2

I have wavy hair, which I straighten with Vidal Sasoon 'hair hydration' straighteners. I put a small amount of product [any one made for the purpose] on damp hair after washing. Then I blow dry a little before starting with the tongs.I need to do this every other day, as once slept on, my hair starts frizzing up again. This works!

Answer 3

my job is hair, and in my eyes if you have to spend hours each week straightening and stressing your hair you should seek professional help, go to a few of your local hairdressers for info and even phone a few further afield. don't be afraid, it is our job to help you, and they should be more than happy to help with any genuine enquiry. price around too before you commit to any treatment . i use opti-smooth on curly hair of all types, this is a permanent straightener which means it grows out the same way a perm would, from the root. you can have a hot or cool treatment, in our salon the hot treatment costs £150 and the cool costs £90 check this web site for full details www.matrix.com (click on matrix products, then opti-smooth. also check out, sleek.look & curl.life for alternatives) i hope this is of some use to you.

Answer 7

1. Conditioner for oily hair
I have naturally oily, straight hair and I used a shampoo with conditioner and then applied a leave-in conditoner to prevent static. It worked! I used mousse and a bit of hair spray and was static-free almost all day.

2. static....
i get static hair all the time...for short releif of it, use a dryer sheet. i dont know what it is that helps but it does! don't use it for very long though.

3. Moisturizer for hair Rebecca Featherston
Several years ago I was introduced to SEBASTION Potion #9. This is a leave in hair moisturizer, not a conditioner. It's used in place of, after you shampoo. Use it regularly throughout the winter months and you will notice a difference!

4. Winter hair rejuvination Rebecca
Get your hairstylist to color your hair with REDKIN SHADES...this is a conditioning, non-peroxide color wash, you can brighten your hair color by using the shades and mixing with clear to tone down to an acceptable level for your taste. This is a great treatment for the wintertime, it brightens your hair, and deep conditions it at the same time. You'll be hooked after one treatment!

5. Fly Away Hair
If you are having trouble with fly away hair try this. Rinse hair, after shampooing, every now and then with a good liquid clothes conditioner. It greatly cuts down the static in your hair.

6. Surefire Success
Keep your hat on till spring, maybe early summer.

7. To Fight Static...
I have super long (3 1/2 ft. from crown to tips), super thin, super straight hair and static in the winter is a nightmare for me. I have learned 3 good ways of combating it however. #1 Keep a trial size bottle of a leave in spray conditioner with you at all times (you can buy these in drug stores for pennies). #2 Run a dryer sheet over your hair. #3 Spray something like Static Guard over your hair (this may stink but it's effective).

8. Smooth Hair
My stylist told me that when you rinse out your conditioner, you should use colder water. When you look at a piece of hair under a microscope, it looks like the shingles of a roof. When you use colder water to rinse out your conditioner, it closes those "shingles" and makes your hair smoother.

9. Better hair
Before showering, I comb my hair one last time. This helps to distribute the natural oils in your hair. When in the shower, I usually comb my conditioner into my hair paying special attention to the tips because this is where your hair has less moisture. When I'm done I usually blast cold water onto my hair. This helps with keeping the hair moisturized since it closes the hair shaft and it makes your hair extremely shiny.

Answer 8

The best thing to use is GHD straightners, with the GHD iron oil. Takes any frizz and turns it into sleek, shiny heaven.

Answer 9

GHD Straighteners but I had it chemically straightened about 2 years ago and boy was it straight...I didn't like it, no bounce at all...try the GHD's.

Answer 10

I use straightening shampoo, then heat protection spray then thermoceramic or glass straighteners. And always a little serum afterwards to combat frizz.

Answer 11

GHD, which stand for good hair day, best on the market for straight hair
