Flat Irons JuSt DonT WORK!?

Question

Before i bought a chi flat iron i had countless relaxers done. I still wasn't satisfied with the results of the chi iron, my hair looked fried, puffy, and straw -like. i bought Biosilk because i heard great reviews on that to, my hair somewhat improved but not a noticable change. Hearing from the popularity and results, i got my hair japanese straightened, it only lasted me for about a month! my hair reacted to it similar as a relaxer would. i'm a intern for a very upscale fashion company, i am expected to come into work with PERFECT hair, i can't get my curly hair back nor would i want to because of the before japanese straightening, it's permanent on my hair, i have split ends which i am getting cut soon and now my new growth is coming in PLEASE HELP ME! I AM WILLING TO TRY ANYTHING!

Answer 1

Well there are several options.....first are you( if not, give it a try) taking pretty small partings when you flat iron your hair? It takes a while but works fairly well...If your hair seems puffy its generally just because it's not all the way smooth. Also, do you have anything you put in your hair before flat ironing or blow drying....there are some great products that are made just for flat ironing your hair -- they help smooth the cuticle...also on the when using your Biosilk or CHI drops rub the product in your hands for a minute first. Have you considered cutting your hair into a different style while you wait for your straightener to grow out. Research good styles for your face shape and lifestyle (i.e.--how long do you want to doing your hair in the morning?? ..etc) Just be careful if you color anything -- I recommend going to a salon and make sure you tell them about all the other chemicals that you've had on your hair ( some realxers don't mix with color, it'll kill your hair) Good Luck, It will take some patience but you'll make it...Also try Redken Heavy Cream, it will be a good conditioning treatment, all the flat ironing and chemical processing can really dry out your hair!

Girl, I have very curly hair, and I use this wonderful tool! It is a flat iron from Conair. It is red and black on the outside and cyramic gold on the inside. It's about one inch wide. It costs close to $50 dollars but is every bit worth the money!!!!!! I promise! You should use it on a very high setting for best results, but don't burn your hair. I am sorry, but I forgot the name, but you can find it in beauty supply stores. Look for the one that I described. It's distinctive looking, even on the box. I also recommend to protect your hair while flat ironing it by using Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum about $16. Worth the price as well and it lasts so long. IT IS THE BOMB! A MIRACLE WITH THE FLAT IRON!

Many flat irons aren't good and it's hard to find a great one, but I thought nothing would work till I used this girl! I promise. If you need a pic or description or better info about these things, email me: [e-mail]---be glad to help!

i have a flat iron called remington and it works perfect if you have the time to straighten your hair. Then after straightening it put some gloss spray on it then comb it out and then its not puffy or frizzy. You can but it at target for 26.00 also it straightens your hair if it is wet or if it is dry. But take ur time straightening ur hair or otherwise it looks crumy.
