how to keep your hair straight during the day without buying ghds?

Question

haha,it just wont stay straight!:-(

Answer 1

I live in Houston, TX which every day haha is about 90% humidity, and my hair always POOFS or CURLS when i straighten it...

BUT

what I use is "sleek.look smoothing system" by Matrix (its a spray liquid, like hairspray in an orange colored bottle and its about $13-15 for 8.5 oz) and I spray that on my hair before I straighten it - its also an heat protector for your hair against the iron. You have to do your hair in sections/pieces and make sure you cover the whole section with that- not like get it dripping wet but just damp. After I finish that I use Avon's "advance techniques professional hair care, daily results, dry ends serum". (which is about $3-5 for 1.7 oz) That comes out of a small pump and its a thicker liquid, it comes in a little bottle and is green or sometimes blue depending who you get it from. You pump it about 2-3 times in your hands, rub it around your hands and then rub it through your hair. You don't want to use too much though because it is very oily.

But trust me, these products work, I wouldn't leave the house in 90% humidity if it wasnt for these babies! hahah

Also, if your not already using a ceramic straighter - I suggest you invest in one lol

Answer 2

Buy a cheaper alternative like whaal. It will cost you $70
It has no differences to the ghd and will do the exact same job but without the brand name it was recomended by a hairdresser.

Theres always blowdrying.

You will also have to use product. this can vary depending on your hair type.

Answer 3

Not possible. I have spent my life trying. The GHD truly is the holy grail of hair straightening.

You could always go and have it permanently straightened at a hair salon (it will only last until new hair grows at the roots, it's expensive and uses many nasty chemicals).
