How do I straighten my rebellious hair? my becomes too thick or has too much flare?

Question

ok, so here's the story. my hair always gets extremely thick on one side of my face(with the consistency of copperwire and curves in)...and is extremely thin and flares out in the other(really fine consistency,curves out). sometimes it alternates. and sometimes ALL my hair is thick and puffy, or all of it has too much flare altogether. i hate it!! im so embarassed by it! i've tried everything. hair straighteners (flat irons) and straightening conditioner aren't working. and im pretty sure im straightening it right as i followed all the directions. butmy hair absolutely refuses to straighten. and if they work, its just temporary and the next hour my hair is back to its old tricks. can anyone help? should i get my hair straightened at a real barbershop ?

p.s. my scalp has been itchy nowadays if that helps anything. i also do wash my hair every day with shampoo and straightening conditioner and always use my straightener,but it never really works. advice is very much appreciated! thankyo

Answer 2

I think the straightening shampoo and conditioner, in your case, is pointless. If you can get away with it, don't wash your hair every day, it helps with fuzzies sometimes. If your scalp is itchy, try Head and Shoulders or something, it could be dandruff problems or overwashing.

Now, about the straightening...

My twin sister and I have fluffy, irritating hair that wouldn't straighten no matter what. My hairdresser couldn't even blow-dry it straight, my little sister's flat iron was doing nothing. Then one Christmas, my little sister received an expensive flat iron. It was originally $100 (my mom got it on sale, don't worry, you can, too!) and strangely enough, it worked on my hair. The trick was high quality and very high heat. The guy at the store said it was hot enough to roast a chicken.

If you're going to stick with the flat iron idea, remember that so much high heat is going to absolutely fry your hair. To help protect it, make sure you use conditioner, use a spray-on flat iron hair protecter, VO5 has a good one. You might want to invest in a hot-oil treatment once a week.

I can't guarantee this will work, but you can try, I would. Good luck!

First you must have products , a good flat iron, and a good cut. Second if your hair is that dry and unruly do NOT wash it every day. let your scalp oils moisturize your hair for you. If you have a ceramic Iron it will kill bacteria that builds up on your hair shaft and also eliminate odor. for products i would say to use SLEEK LOOK by MATRIX get the shampoo the deep moisture mask the styling creme EXTREME and STRAIGHT POLISH you only need a quarter size amount of any of the products at the most and with the creme and polish start in the ends and work your way up to your scalp. Creme on wet hair polish on your finished product.
For your flat iron i recommend BaByliss Pro TT Flat Iron It heats up in three seconds and it is what i use as a professional stylist.

I really think you just need a new cut. Hair can be texturized to be thinner in some areas, maybe they can give you something to help even out your style. No one has the same amount of hair on everyinch of their head. It just may be that yours grows thicker on one side, which is very common. But it can be cut into a more even style, have you thought about that? To much straightening can make your hair very frizzy and dry it out, damage it. The more you do it, the worse it will get. Give it a break, wear it up

Answer 5

time and patience , hot iron out with small fine sections , use kms straightening balm , get a chemical straightening done by a professional stylist , should take at least 4 - 6 hours depending on your hair length , if your scalp is always itchy then it's not liking your current shampoo and conditioner.

Answer 6

Get your hair relaxed - this is a cream which is combed through your hair which permanently straightens it (also known as re-bonding).
It is commonly used for afro hair types, but milder solutions are available (baby relaxers). It is cheap and makes hair much more manageable.
Also stop washing it every day, it is stripping the hair and scalp of natural oils. Try washing with just conditioner some days.

Answer 7

OK my hair is just like yours.
First to solve your itchy scalp problem, use t-gel before your shampoo and conditioner. But a good thing is to use both a straighting shampoo and conditioner. Just so you can go ahead and start styling your hair before you actually start. Then let your hair air dry for 10 min. then blow dry it to the way you want it. After you have done all that section your hair off start from the bottom layer to the top, to guarantee your hair being as straight as possible. Email me if you want anymore tips

Answer 8

You can have your hair straightened at a salon, but it is rather hard on your hair. Perhaps straight is just not the look for your hair. If your hair is coarse and wirey you should try some curly hair styles. Sometimes you just can't fight how nature intended you to look! Try getting out of the shower and throwing your head upside down and crinkling in some moose or curl seruim. Let it air dry and don't comb it. See how that works for you.

Answer 9

Well, try going to the SALON (not barbershop!) and ask for Thermal Reconditioning. It's basically a reverse perm, and your hair is smooth, shiny, manageable, and of course, straight! A friend of a friend had this done to her ringlets, and now her hair is stick straight. Yes, this treatment is permanent, and is quite costly. But, if you are able to live with some damage, then you can buy an at home perm kit, and just comb it straight. I doubt the results will be as good, though. Good luck!

Answer 10

oh please DO NOT use those home relaxer kits!!! if you make 1 little mistake...it can cost you your hair like it did to me!! i used those do it yourselves and my hair melted!! not literaly but they did have to chop it off 10 inches!!! now im stuck with hair extensions.





. well i have the SAME problem as you, whenever i straighten it, in an hour, it goes all weird again, and one side is always poofier than the other. i spent $150 on a straightner and it helped somewhat. so on top of that i started using ''so sexy smoothing shine serum for hair'' and ''so sexy high gloss style creme'' both by victoria's secret. they seem to be working just fine!, my hair smells good and the bottles are very pretty. lol

oh and i forgot. use a heat tamer protective spray before straighting your hair just to cut down on the damage. i use tresemme.



well good luck!!!! hope i helped :)

Answer 11
