Permanently straight?

Question

When i come out of the shower or a bath or when i have washed my hair once its been dryed with a hair dryer it goes super frizzy and really wavy and boffy and i dont like so i usually straighten and that works but is there anyway to have your hair permanently straight even when you get out of the shower??

Answer 1

mine does that 2! I have accualy posted a question pretty much the same as yours. I found it is humidity that makes it puffy and wavy. You need to turn the fan on or let it air dry in a cooler area than it wont to that. HEY it worked for me!

I HATE straightners 2!

Answer 2

Yes, there are permanent straightening procedures available. The good ones are usually pretty expensive, and are not completely permanent. You need to maintain the procedure every couple of months or so (new hair growth needs to be treated as well). These procedures can be damaging to your hair as well. In a lot of instances, if you lighten your hair color, you should not permanently straighten it as well.

In my opinion, embrace what you have! Find a good styling product, and wear your hair wavy/curly! That way you can always straighten it for a day or two if you feel like it.

If you still want more information on straightening procedures, check with your local salons. There are many procedures available, and the salon can schedule you for a 15 minute consultation to determine which procedure you would benefit most from. But check around, don't necessarily go with the cheapest. I have seen a lot of bad straightening jobs, and believe me, you would much rather a curly head of hair than a botched straightening job.

Well, permanently straight? The Japanese method is good. But if your saying for the day, try adding a straightening gel while your hair is wet. This will help relax your wave and combat frizz. I recommend Instant Straighten Out by FX Special Effects. Found at drugstores for about $6.

Answer 4

yes, you can go to a salon and get it straightened. It's like a perm so you would need to get it done every so often. It is kind of pricey though, but if you can afford it, go ahead. My hair is like yours, so I just put anti-frizz serum in it and blow dry it straight when I want it straight. But you could also wear your hair curly, you just have to put something in it for the frizz and diffuse it. I have thought about getting my hair permed straight, but then I thought about it and decided that there may be days when I want to go curly and if my hair was permed straight. I was stuck. Once you get your hair straightened, it doesn't really hold a curl well. People that have hair like us have an advantage . We can go staright or curly whenever we want to with the help of some simple hair products.

i do my own hair all the time i relax my hair at home and it cost me no more than a fiver and i get to do it about five or six times from the same kit cos i buy the ready mixed one there are ones u can mix but paying 350 for this Japanese thing i had to laugh when i saw that i don't know what hair type u have r u Caucasian if so then it might not work 4 u but if ure hair is thick it might work u need to put ure hair type

Answer 6

You can have it straightened using a system called the Yuko system. It ranges in cost but is well worth it. I have half afro, half european hair and have it done every 3 months or so. It costs me £250 each time but it stays straight and i only have to have it done again because of regrowth.
It is done with chemicals but it doesn't actually damage your hair it repairs it (it is also known as the Yuko repair system i think) and works by opening up your cuticles and rearranging the negative and positive ions.
Or something.....
It is good though and Jennifer Aniston has had her hair done with it.

Answer 7

There are permanent straighteners out there, just like the stuff used to do a perm. I have curly hair myself but have been afraid to use them. I have also heard that using a relaxer works really well too.

Answer 8

Well black people use a relaxer, but I dont know if this is safe to use on (presuming)european hair.

I think your hairdresser can advise you better, also I notice you posted another question regarding highlights and dyes, if you do get your hair chemical straighten you need to leave it 2 weeks before you dye it, the hair cant cope with all the chemicals.

Answer 9

i think there is a way the hairdressers can do it with certain hair potions, but it costs loads of money and of course, it only lasts until the hair grows out. Try to use good quality shampoo and conditioner recommended by the hairdresser, as my hair goes boofy too. When I use Nice n Easy gloss conditioner (£1.00 for a 30ml tube from Boots chemist), I find it can make my hair go straight and sleek. But it is costly. I only use it for when I go out to impress.

Answer 10

There are different types of methods for permanantly straightening your hair. I looked into the Japanese straightening method. They use chemicals and hair relaxers to keep your hair straight. The cost depends on where you go. It ranges from $400 - $800+. I have a friend who got her hair straightened and it looks great!!
