I wanted to know what is the best way to straighten multi-cultural hair?

Question

Okay. I use to perm my hair every six months and i use to use a kids relaxer. I really do not need to relax my hair so i decided to go natural recently. My hair texture is very curly when wet, wavy when dried and sometimes frizzy. Every time i flat iron my hair it never stays straight. The roots are always puffy. I recently brought some john frieda hair serum and cream (steps 3 and 4) which worked to calm my hair down a bit. They usually say that blow drying helps the most before flat ironing. I am trying not to give up. Anyone have some tips?

I just want some people to know that i am mixed with Native American and french Canadian.

Answer 1

If you're really gung ho about straightening it without chemicals then try using a flat iron with a pressing comb.

Use the flat iron to straighten the hair from tip to about 1" above the roots. The pressing comb will straighten the 1" portion of hair that remains.

Both the flat iron and pressing comb should be made of high quality metal in order to reduce damage to your hair. For example, I use a CHI which uses ceramic technology.

Find a ceramic pressing comb if you can then have someone that you trust with your life (or at least your scalp) do your roots.

Flat ironing and/or pressing really isn't something that should be done often. Once weekly at most. A good "press" should last you as much as five days if you're not super active.

All that being said though, it's best to love your curls. Find products that will help you manage them better.

Answer 2

Use Redkin Heat Glide, use a CHI FLat Iron. Redkin has a thicker silicone in it. I use it on super curly hair. you may have to use more than the average person. It works great. It is for all hair types an I have more black customers buying it because it workd so well. It protects the hair from the heat and it smooths the hair down.The line is Redkin Smooth Down. Heat GLide is the serum. insert a comb on the scalpin the section that you are straightening and you can get a little closer without burning yourself.
