Answer 1

PLEASE READ ALL THIS INFO IT IS ALL MY OWN WORDS AND I HAVE GONE THROUGH THE SAME PROBLEMS! PLEASE LOOK AT THIS AND READ IT THROUGHLY!


Straightening: Well I bought a Conair for $36 Last year year for x-mas it works really good ( called the infiniti it is ceramic and has ion technology ). I am planing on getting a new one soon maybe a month or two. If you plan on straightening make sure to clean it off every time BEFORE & AFTER you use it with warm water and a paper towel. ( reduces static ) I would also recommend getting a new hair cut or trim to make your ends nice and even; having your ends / layers nice and even helps the actual effect of you straightening therefore it looks a lot better. Straightening comes with the disadvantage of spending 45 mins. to maybe and 1 and a 1/2 hours to straighten ( DEPENDS ON YOUR METHOD IT TAKES ME 23 EXACT MINUTES! )
MY METHOD: " Turn on you straightener and while allowing it to heat up take the top part of your hair ( on the top of your head) and put it a bun ( on the top of your head ). NEXT take a piece of hair maybe 1 and a half inch wide ( depending on the size of your straightener )NEXT take your FULLY HEATED straightener and bring to the top strand of hair squeeze together and bring down very slowly BUT at any costs do not stop keep a SMOOTH motion. NEXT finish the gliding of the straightener and when you take it off you should see steam. if you dont try it again or you straightener may not be fully heated ( allow more heating time.)NEXT do all strands UNTIED ONES. THEN when finished and satisfied take another hair-tie and tie it back ( loosely! so you dont CRIMP your straightened hair. NEXT take out the bun and straighten that hair the same way. UNTIL you get to the back part of your head then untie the ALREADY straightened hair and finish. FOR BETTER RESULTS STRAIGHTEN THE REST ALL TOGETHER AFTERWARDS AND COMB ONLY BRUSHING MAYCAUSE STATIC!

HEAT PROTECTANT SPRAYS FOR STRAIGHTENING DO NOT WORK DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AS LONG AS YOU CLEAN IT LIKE I SAID YOU WILL NOT HAVE A PROBLEM!!!


Chemiclly Straightening:
I do not actually recommend chemial straightening cause it ruins a lot of people's hair. I know a friend who payed $260 do get hers done but it is fine, and it is undamaged. Un-like straightening you dont have to do anything to your hair besides wash it and go in every so often to get it re-done. But this also comes with a dis-advantage it is permenantly straightened until chemicals wearoff; you could have it permenantly, ( be careful and have a well trusted profession do this you could ruin your hair for life!!! )

straightening sprays / creams:
I think both of these are a total rip-offI have tried to use them before I spent $120 on a 6ounce bottle!!! and it was a TOTAL waste!

ceramic ionic hair straighteners. You can buy them pretty much anywhere. Some are around $30 dollars or less, but if you want even better performance and smoothness you can go to a beauty supply place and ask their opinions on one and buy one from them. They are a little bit more pricey, but it's because they do a little bit better job. Make sure you spray a heat protector type spray on it before straightening.
Then there is a procedure you can have done by your hair stylist, which is getting it chemically straightened. The straightness last around about 6 months thru out washes and everything.
Also heat protectant sprays are not for the protection of the straightener they are for your hair. They seal the cuticle and help prevent breakage and can make your hair smoother after straightening. I bought nexxus heat protexx and it seems as if it works very well.

Anything that you do to your hair has the possibility of side effects, such as drying out your hair, creating more split ends and other such things. The best way to deal with wavy hair is to accept it, and wear it in different styles. I'm sure you've heard many gals say that they wished they had wavy hair. It seems that those who have it, don't want it, and vice versa. I like really long hair, but I don't like all the work that goes into maintaining it. <*)))><

Answer 4

Get a flat iron hair straightner. Make sure you get one with ceramic plates. You may also want to use a product such as Paul Mitchell's Straightening Serum. My daughter has hair that is extremely curly and with that serum and the flat iron she can get it straight as nails.

Also, cheap metal plate irons can cause serious dryness and burn to your hair.
