Answer 1

you should minimize the amount of times you straighten your hair, like if you're not going anywhere then dont straighten it and on some school days you can just put your hair up in a ponytail. you can also just buy a new straightner. my hair is just like yours it sounds like, b/c my hair is naturally straight but its so thick so it looks like a poof ball. so i always straighten my hair to make it look thinner. i have a straightener thats made by a company called jilbere. its really really good. its titanium and i can straighten my hair in like 20 minutes. thats saying something b/c my hairs really long too.

I have the same problem. I would recommend using a product that protects your hair from heat. I also put a dab of nice smelling conditioner the section of hair i just straightened, and then spray perfume in it when I'm done. Also, if you are using the same shampoo you use every day, it might just be you smelling the burnt smell. I got used to the smell of my shampoo and couldn't smell it anymore, and all I could smell was the burnt smell. However, when i asked others (who definitely would have told me the truth) they said it smelled great and smelled just like my shampoo, so there ya go. Hope I helped.

Buy a Chi and nothing else. I spent $100 on it but it is worth it. The others that sell for cheap do not get hot enough. Also, make sure you buy a Salon quality spray when you straighten your hair. You can cause serious damage without a good spray. I made the mistake of purchasing a cheap o hair straighten and I ended up throwing it away.

Answer 4

maybe you have the heat too high or you need to buy a new straightener. It is really bad to straighten your hair everyday, you are damaging your hair and stressing it out. if you are not careful, it could all fall out (has happened to a couple of girls i know). Also straight hair shouldn't make you look pretty, you are probably just a pretty girl. you might want to go to a professional stylist once a month to treat your hair and ask them how to keep your hair straight permanently. I suggest you leave your hair in it's natural state, it's more healthy that way.

Answer 5

Use a good heat protecting spray. This will stop the straighteners from ruining your hair but still working effectively. Also you could try using different hair straighteners... There might be something wrong with yours?

Answer 6

Hi some do this I notice i could smell that it smelt burnt when it was a cold day and i come in from out side. I just got some ghds and they dont do this to me, or it could be i use a heat protection spray. I use the ADSA one it smells of apples and you can spray it on dry hair before you straigten it so maybe this will work for you. I dont know what else you can so other than change your hair straigtners.

Answer 7

heat protection spray and lots of it! also clean ur straighteners before turning them on just with a clean damp cloth, jst to remove anything on them. also when straightening ur hair make sure u done over use them, pass the straighteners through the hair slowly but not too slowly ( try not to let it give off the steam ) and only do that oce or twice on same section.

Answer 8

Try using a straightening protecting spray. This will help the effects of burning and damage to your hair. It will probably go in time as the straighteners are new.

Answer 9

What products do you use in your hair when you are about to straighten it? Is your hair completly dry??? I use to have the remington straightner, but I got rid of it and got me a titanium and it does sooo much better!! You should try it!

let me know how it goes!

best of luck

i also use hair straighteners every day and find that the tresseme hair straightening spray is great! put it on before you straighten it and also spray a bit once you have done it. helps to stop them ruining your hair because it stops your hair drying out x
