i straighten my hair often but it wont stay straight through out the day..10 minutes later its already either wavy or curling under. i was interested in trying the new product Sunsilk Straighten Up. ive tried dozens of products!!!
is it a waste of money?
or what are some good products to use?

I think the John Frieda anti-frizz Wind Down Relaxing Crème is good, I only use it when its humid it out and it doesn't make your hair frizz ALSO I have a Chi straightener. It cost about $100 but it is the best straightener in the world!!!!
It makes your hair look so shiny & sleek!

you sound like my twin!
i had the same problem until recently.
after i wash my hair, i put in this stuff called biosilk straightening serum. than you just blow dry. half the time, i dont even need to straighten my hair after that,
but i usually end up straightening it anway, so my hair doesnt get frizzy. I use the CHI straightener. it IS the best straightener you could ever buy. and i swear to you that. the ones at walk mart and sallys dont even work! this one is amazing! its costs around 125, depending where you buy it from. i got mine last week on sale, at the JC Penny Salon.
i havent been able to stop bragging about how great this straightener truly is.
i guarentee you, that the biosilk, and the CHI straightener are exactly what you are looking for to help with your hair issues.
give it a try, cause unlike all the other products you've tried, these two are worth it!
best of luck (:

It's key to use products which will protect the hair and also stretch it as much as possible prior to using a flat iron. A great product is Phyto Straightening Balm and one of the best flat irons uses tourmaline technology to help keep the hair smooth and straight. It's the T3 Wet/Dry Flat Iron. They also have a regular flat iron as well. This is a high end brand, but if you are using a flat iron often it is well worth the month. You may also think about getting a professional straightening treatment called Japanese Thermal Straightening, which will keep your hair straight for several months. You will need to find a salon that is trained in this process.

I bought my straightener from WALMART..yes i know. but it wasn't 100 bucks and it works fine. Straighteners with a 'gold' plate usually work better, because it heats up better and it makes the hair straighter. I also use Garnier smoothing milk, for less frizz, and Loreal straightening cream..its in a pink bottle i dont remember the full name :) If you really want your hair to stay the way it is in the morning , i'd suggest putting a wax on it after straightening it. Not too much, but if you add the wax it will stay straight through anything! Good luck!

Grind some leaves of the hibiscus plant . or the hibiscus flower and apply th epaste to your hair for a few minutes before bath . do so for a few days and see if the hairs are soft , glossy and beautifully natural. If hibiscus is not availalb etry the paste of the seedlings ( greens ) of fenugreek. (used in Inidian cooking ) . if fenugreek greens are no avilable procure some fenugreek sds from some ainidian store and soak a little quantity in water for some three tofour hours . Thengrind the seeds into a pste and apply the paste to the hairs befor bath ,wash it aftr some time or while bathing . This will turn the hairs soft and glossy . they will be manageable .

Oh my curly sister! I am sooo there for you! You need to get a good straightener. The cheap ones you get at Walmart do not work the way you want them to.
The one I have I bought at Regis for $125 and I love it!!!

gels may b good, but on da other can it may have an effect on u wether u don't noe it, so wut u r doing rt now is wasting money. However, da best solution is to get a hair straightner as my opinion, but don't use it too continus cuz u'll get roots divided.
