How to get silky, flowing hair after I straighten it?

Question

My hair turns dry and frizzy when I straighten it, and sometimes gets kind of hard, like I put gel in it, (but i didnt) the hair kind of clumps together sorta and doesnt flow nicely if the wind were to blow it lol... anyone have a suggestion?? any products you know of?

Answer 1

Do you blow dry it in the first place with a wire round brush? Do you have hair spray on your straightener, if so you want to make sure you clean it off. There is no reason for your hair to do this if you have done the above that I have mentioned. The only thing I can think of is if you live in an area with very high humidity, then it won't matter what you try to do with your hair. Hope this helps!

Also, like the one person said above, try mixing 1 egg, 1 cup of honey, and 1 cup of olive oil. Wet your hair first, do not wash it, (the natural oils from your hair will help this process) put in the ingredients, and then put a shower cap on your head. Wet a towel with hot water, and wring it out of course. wrap it around your head, and keep it on for as long as you can. (At least a half hour-an hour) Then rinse and wash as normal. And yes it will wash out, LOL. I know it sounds gross, but that is what I do, and it works! I have found that natural does a lot better job than all of the commercial stuff they try to sell you at the store.

Another tid bit: Make sure you brush your hair before you wash it, because brushing while wet breaks off more hair then when it is dry. The softer and less tangles it has, the easier it will be to brush out after your shower. And use a comb, a big one, not one of those tiny ones that men use. Pick at your hair from the bottom up. If you do it from the top to the bottom, you will break off a lot of hair, causing more frizz!

Try not to wash your hair everyday, if possible. You can shower of course, but put a shower cap on in the shower. This will help the natural oils in your hair to keep your hair less dried out. And only blow-dry your hair when necessary. Also, if you wear your hair up, do not use a tight scrunchy or hair tie, this also causes breakage and looks frizzy. Try to use a hair clip instead. Okay I am done, thank you!

Blow drying is what is causing your dry frizzy hair. Plus, the products that you are using (probably alcohol based).
The silky hair look that you see on TV is actually a treatment that salons use it last about 6 to 8 weeks.

Sunsilk has a line of products for people that have poopy hair called Straighten Up its in a purple bottle.It has Shampoo/Conditioner and 24 hour cream and works really good after you wash your hair if you do it at night and your hair is still damp put it up in a tight bun and it will be a lot easier to manage in the morning. After you straighten your hair smooth it through your hair and brush it out. Keep it in your purse for touch ups for the day.
Another good product is called Pin Straight Straightening Spray from Herbal Essences you use it after you do your hair it works like hair spray but it dosent leave your hair all sticky.
Suave has a crean in a orange tube I forgot the name of it but its really good and cheap too.

First of all get Dove's soft and straight cream and put it on your hair when its damp, put more if u need more..u can get it at wal mart. It will be soft when u blow dry it. when u straighten your hair never leave it in one place too long, your probably burning your hair. Get a professional moisturizer for hair and always use alot of conditioner and leave it on for atleast a minute or two before you rinse it off.
