okay how do i get my hair to stay straight like permanantly without constantly straightening it?

Question

my hair is blonde and really poofy and sorta wavy. i recently got this new haircut, with layers in the back and slanted bangs that part across my face over my left eye.
and now it only looks good if its straight....so i have to straighten it EVERY DAY.
what is an easier way to get it straight that actually works and doesnt take so much time?
thanks!

Answer 1

i've already recommended this to another user, and she seemed satisfied with my suggestion. if you want your hair at least semi-permanently straightened, try loreal x-tenso. i say semi-permanently because your hair will grow back to its previous condition (wavy, a bit poofy). but believe me when i say that trying the l'oreal x-tenso treatment was one of the few truly life-changing decisions i have made. i had hair almost like yours (mine's black, i'm a filipina). it was coarse and thick and poofy and wavy. i felt really unattractive. then i went to a l'oreal kerastase salon, spent around $150-200 for the x-tenso treatment, looked in the salon mirror, and saw a miracle. my hair was glorious. "shampoo-commercial"-gorgeous. i use this term over and over again when i tell people about it, because that's really how my hair looked. i thought that it looked that way probably because my hairstylist ironed it, and maybe if i washed it at home it'll puff up again. but no. it was still gorgeous! i didn't even have to iron it! all i needed was a smoothing cream, or leave-in conditioner. it was immaculate. believe me.

now, i'm not sure if the treatment will produce the same result on your hair. you should ask a hairstylist if your hair can take it, because the treatment will make it a bit dry. that's not a huge problem. just condition, condition, condition, and get regular trims. after about 8 months to a year, you may need to get the treatment again, but that's way better than having to iron your hair every single day.

Answer 2

I have LONG curly hair. i got my hair chemically straightened but all it does is reduce the curl a little but it makes it a ton easier to straighten. just dont wash your hair EVERY single day when you straighten it. And learn to work WITH your hair not against it. Just straighten your bangs and let the rest be curly/ wavy theres plenty of products that can help you.

Answer 3

You can get your hair chemically straightened at a salon, like a perm but to straighten your hair rather than curl it. I think it usually lasts a few months!

Answer 4

It depends how curly your hair is a straight perm will calm very curly hair down a little and will do wonders for wavy hair!!!!!
But on the other hand there is a Japanise straight perm which will set u back around 100 pounds but tht leaves your hair really straight and I should know because my hair is really tight curls and it makes you hair shine gorgeous

Answer 5

I rather have curly hair too. what i do is brush my hair out (so for sure like a bush) and then straighten it in 3 sections. working a broom down your hair with and till at last now the straighener i locate continuously helps. you additionally can placed styling hairspray on your hair till at last now you initiate straightening. its in comparison to well-known hairspray this is available in a bottle no longer a can and its like spraying water on your hair :) wish i helped. oh and it additionally helps in case you dont attempt to straighten it after youve washed your hair flow away it an afternoon or 2 :)

Answer 6

My friend at school has really straight hair and she says she gets it that way by showering with cold water. I honestly don't know if it works since i personally haven't done it but its worth a try. However you have to do it constantly

Answer 7

Rebonding your hair will do the trick but it'll also damage your hair. But by doing so, you'll get a straight hair for years ... you don't have to straighten it every time.

Answer 8

well you could get it chemically straightened or relaxed, but that's not very good for your hair- but still it's a solution
or you could just wash your hair every other night so you dont have to straighten it every day- i would also buy a good hair protectant spray like thing, that should proctect your hair from some damage and hold it in longer
*good luck :)

Answer 9

i find combing my hair strait when i'm done showering, and then tossing a hat or hood on while it drys helps.
also, you could try different shampoos and conditioners. some have ingredients that can help straighten hair. Sunsilk has a "straighten up" line, although that shampoo/conditioner is cheap, so i would suggest buying more expensive, salon quality stuff. remember to talk to your stylist for free advice next time you see them. good luck.

Answer 10

You can chemicly straighten it. I did that and it worked. Now I don't even have to touch a straightener.
