Ladies with wavy hair, what are the stuff that you do to make your hair straight and soft,and how long does it

Question

take you? Please start by "take a shower"
this is what I do. take a shower, then do a pony tale untill the front of my hair dries, then blow dry it a bit, then I flat iron it when it's totally dry, all that takes me about an hour-an hour and a half sometimes.

women with curly hair are also welcome to answer :)

Answer 1

i have wavy hair and after i take a shower i just wait for it to dry naturally without puting it in a pony tail then i use my hair straightener..it takes about 2 1/2 hours to dry and 15 minutes to straighten

Answer 2

I have wavy hair that gets super frizzy if I let it air-dry so I start out by wrapping my shoulder-length hair in a towel for about 7 minutes while I do make-up and lotion and stuff. Then I apply a generous amount of mousse throughout and blow dry it upside down (flipping my head over) using an ion dryer. When it's dry I use a Con-Air flat iron on setting 6 or so (depends on the thickness of your hair) and iron ONLY the top layer and around my face. I spray all of it with cheap hairspray and turn the ends of the back of my hair under with a big round brush. Really, you don't need to flat iron every strand, just the top layer to make it appear all straight. Concentrate on the hair style in the front because that's what makes the first impression!! I'm quite a tomboy, so this is the most I've ever done with my hair, and it takes me maybe 15 minutes max. As far as soft, I use moisturizing salon shampoo and conditioner only. This system works awesome for me, and the style looks nicer the second day.

I shower and use a condition in the shower to soften and shine my hair, John Fredia brilliant brunette is great. When I get out of the shower, I put on an anti-fizz serum. I shower at night so I can braid my hair, just one very loose braid, down my back. It keeps the hair from having to be blow dried. When I wake in the morning, the hair is dry and slightly wavy. I then section it off, 4-5 sections and straighten it with an iron. It come out so soft and flat, no fly-aways from blow drying and the hair stays healthy since I don't blow dry.

Answer 4

I wash my hair and then I put Redken root volumizer all in it. Then I let it air dry for a bit and then I use my large round brush and blow dryer and work on it a section at a time until it's all dry, and it stays smooth and straight until the next time I wash.

I don't flat iron because while it looks great every once in a while, doing it every day makes my hair look weird. The round brush and blow dryer is definitely the way to go.

My hair was down to mid back but I recently cut it into a bob. I find that with it shorter and in this cut it is easier to get my hair smooth and straight.

Answer 5

After you take your shower, wait for a while until your hair is almost dry, and blow dry it the rest. This will make it fluffy and soft. Flat iron it, but don't go overboard!!! If you do it too much, you could damage your hair really bad. The best flat iron i've found is a chi. It straightens it, but it always leaves you hair soft and shiny, Hope I helped!!!!

Answer 6

Take a shower at night, and blowdry your hair. The hairdryer should have a comb atttached and point the comb towards the roots/floor when you're drying. It helps it to be straight. Then wait about ten minutes so the hair colls down and straighten it in medium heat with a flat iron. This works for me..

It takes about 45 minutes at the most if I hurry.

Answer 7

girl... you need to be out enjoying life, not FLAT IRONING your hair!!!
i start with a great cut , tell the stylist your intentions:straight hair.
i shampoo ... any shampoo, but every other day...im not sure what you do for a living, but shampoing too often CAN dry out your hair.
i do blow dry . before doing, i use a serum (john frieda) a very small amount... just on the ends. i have long layers past my shoulder (lenght)
i use physique... orange lable for straightening. fab product(they sell trial sizes...try it!!!!!)
i do NOT use a round brush or put my hair in a pony tail. blow dry until mostly dry with head "bent over"
USE A PADDLE BRUSH!!! pick up pieces of sections of hair and dry using the brush .
takes some practice, but you can do it especially if you spend time ironing your hair.
ONE MORE TIP FOR YOU a home perm, combed on your hair in the waviest sections of of your hair leave on for 10. minutes, combing straight against scalp and down.
check with your salon pro before doing this,!!!! it works!!! good luck!

Answer 8

Good conditioner, some sort of leave in hair stuff ( I use plum straight) , and depending on how I want the ends... you can use a hair dryer with a round brush (only my hair stylist can ever get it right) or a Chi or 1 1/2" curling iron with a Chi on the super curly parts. (Such as around the ear.)

Answer 9

u can always straighten it, but when u get out of the shower instead of towel drying, us paper towels and dry ur hair (not all the way of course) then u can blow dry it straight take things by sections also, use special shampoos or conditioners and other hair products

Answer 10

Whenever I get out of the shower I flatten it out when it's still wet and put a nickel-sized amount of gel in to hold it. For some reason my hair comes out a lot less frizzy; for the waves I'd use a ceramic straightener (they're the good ones) the next morning.
