What is a good straightener for thick curly hair?

Question

I have super thick, curly, frizzy, and poofy hair. What is a good straightener I can buy from walmart? Is there any spray to make my hair shiny and protect it from heat damage?

Answer 1

ok reallyy the more u spend the better quality(better hair, less damage)
i suggest the chi or sedu

but since we're talking walmart stuff i think that revlon, remington, andis, and hot tools are the best
CONAIR SUCKS

shampoo and condition your hair with either garneir or pantene
hair protector=
-a good serum, lotion made for dry, frizzy OR chemically treated hair
try tresemme or anything like that

Answer 2

I also have thick curly hair and i use a chi. i have tried conair and a wet to dry one and they dont work and u will eventually find urself buying another straightner. Chi's dont damage ur hair because they r ceramic and they are the hottest flat iron there is. If u want it to be not as much of a hassle u can blow dry ur hair first with a paddle brush. Before u blow dry ur hair though u can put in chi iron infusion spray which protects it from the heat. If u want a cheaper flat iron u can get a hay brand one from bed bath and beyond.

- Go curly! Read the book and visit the sites below about curly hair. I did and my once horrible curly hair is now virtually frizz-free ringlets. Now I get compliments on my hair all the time! Straighten your hair- be happy for a day, learn to manage your curly hair- be happy for life!
- To style your hair using the curly-girl method you will need gel and conditioner at the minimum. Some less useful, but still nice stuff would be a blowdryer, a diffuser (reduces frizz in curly/wavy hair when used with dryer), and a microfiber hair turban (to dry wet hair while sleeping or in the morning).
-The main philosophy of the curly-girl method is to not use shampoo. This may sound unhygenic but it has actually made my hair less oily and dandruffy. Most shampoos contain some of the same chemicals found in laundry detergent (aka sulfates). They dry out curly hair. Also you shouldn't brush your curly hair dry because it damages the hair and makes it poof.
- Massaging of the scalp with conditioner to remove dirt is all that is needed. It will clean everything but super clingy silicones. Then rinse and spread conditioner on the outside layer of hair and the hair at the nape of your neck. Gently comb tangles out with your fingers or a wide toothed comb and rinse with cold/cool water.
-Do not brush/comb your hair after this point because it wil disturb the curl pattern (make sure you already have a part). It is also important to use gel on sopping wet hair and scrunch the hair with your fingers. Use a towel or paper towels to gently scrunch some of the water out. Then let your hair air dry or wait ten minutes and then use a blowdryer with a diffuser. Do not touch the hair while it is air drying or it will frizz!
- Use a moisturizing conditioner, such as Desert Essence Organics Italian Red Grape Conditioner (found at health food/organic stores). The combo of products that I use daily is Garnier Fuctis Sleek and Shine Leave In Cream, then Aussie Tizz No Frizz Gel, and then Herbal Essences Set Me Up Gel but there are more conditioners, gels, etc. on the websites.
- Your hair may seem worse at first, but it is just adjusting. This takes 2 to 4 weeks begin working.This is hard to do if you don't read the book, or at least visit the websites. Naturally curly hair can be beautiful! Hope this helps!

CHI! Get it at Sally's for like $80. They work the best. Trust me I have the same hair as you and it takes about 20 minutes to do and comes out straight as an arrow =) After you straighten it, use Biosilk. Put a tiny bit in your hand and glide it through your hair staying away from the roots (It will make it greasy) It works the best! Good luck!

Answer 5

I have thick, curly hair too, but when I used the straighteners from Walmart, my hair tended to frizz as soon as I walked outside. So instead, I use a Chi & it is definitely the best. It's not cheap, but it's definitely effective. To protect your hair, use Sebastien's Molding Mud before straightening. :)

Answer 6

A Chi turbo GF1538. It's red and black (the one I have) and it gets hot in a matter of SECONDS. I have really badly curly hair and its very thick. I don't pay out the butt for expensive shampoo and conditioner to make my hair straighter, I just use pantene pro-v, so you save money on shampoo/conditioner.

The only thing is, it costs about $130. but it's well worth it! Nothing else I've used works remotely as well.

Hope this helped!

Answer 7

A good flat iron! You pin your hair up and straighten just a little at a time! I know someone that has really curly hair and she gets her straight but, the catch is to buy a good straightener. You will pay anywhere from $50 on.

Good Luck!

Answer 8

Conair makes good cheap straighteners. Buy one with different heat settings and a turbo setting is very important for hard-to-tame hair. There are tons of protective sprays and creams out there, try KMS straightening cream, it works really well. John Frieda, Kerastase, and VO5 also have good ones.
