I have really straight hair, and i want it to be wavy, and have some body, what do i need and how do i do it?

Answer 1

Don't faint, BUT you can go to a reputable hair salon and get a great permanent wave that will give you what you want. They can do almost anything with the products now. Ask about getting a perm where they put one rod in and leave the hair under it straight. By only having 1/2 the hair waved, the hidden wave makes the straight hair take on the bends, but none of the old frizz head look.

Permanent waves are not permanent though they grow out as your hair grows but most girls like them right to the end.

Answer 2

Well if you have ANY body to you rhair.. this might work, its what I do ..

I use a volumizing shampoo/conditioner (I use Biolage - (sp?), then when I blow dry it, I can just take some spray gel (I Use Pantene volumizing) then scrunch the ends lightly, it almost looks curly, but more wavy.

Not sure if it is just the cut Ihave (Frame the face, long layers kinda thing), or if that method works.. but it's worth a try =)

GOOD LUCK!

For body, get a good shampoo and conditioner like Pantene Full & Thick shampoo and conditioner or Pantene Sheer Volume shampoo and conditioner. (You could even use both, a shampoo of one and conditioner of the other.) Tip for extra shine: After your hair is rinsed free of conditioner, turn the water to cold and rinse your hair in it.

After you get out of the shower, use a good volumizing mousse like Aussie Aussome Volume Mousse http://www.aussie.com/us/collections/aussome_volume/mousse.jsp . Then put your hair in a bun and keep it in all night. Take it out in the morning and if it it is still wet, use a blow dryer with a diffuser.
And if you get layers, it adds body and thickness.

I have really straight hair too and what I do is use a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. You should try loreal or one of herbal essences collections.

Answer 5

cut your hair into layers, that will help it have more body. It may also become wavy, that is what happened to my friend.
