Pin straight hair??

Hey,



I was just wondering.. do you think that there is ANY way that my hair will EVER be pin- straight??



this is how my hair is- well its pretty thick and super curly on the bottom and then i have a ton of fly away on the top of my head..



i own a sedu hair straightener.. do you think there is ANY way i can get PIN straight hair??



Pin straight hair??

I did the Japanese Hair Straightening and it is the best. My hair is pin straight and not poofy anymore. After I wash it and comb it, it stays straight. If I sleep with it wet or if I don't comb it right after washing, I might get some waves that I can get rid of with an iron. I use the CHI Ceramic Flat Iron. Thats the only iron that works for me to get it pin straight.



Pin straight hair??

after straightening spray it with hairspray/straightening hold spray.



but rly ur hair sounds gorgeous...no need to straighten :-)



Pin straight hair??

magic straight!!



its amazing



i got it, and my hair is super poofy times 100. after i got it , its pin straight



it lasts for like 6 months - 9 months



Pin straight hair??

No. The only way to get that is to straighten and spray it. Sorry. I want that too.



Pin straight hair??

My hair is very similar and this is how I get my hair SUPER straight (I own a Chi straightener)



I use Nexxus Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.



I spray it first with Bedhead "Headrush" to protect and add shine to my straightened hair - split your hair into sections (spray each section) and straighten every section probably 3 times. When you're done add Biosilk to your hair - which prevents it from getting frizzy and also takes away the poof that can sometimes happen after you straighten it.



Another thing is next time you're getting your haircut, ask them to use thinning scissors - this takes A LOT of bulk out of your hair - especially the ends, to make your hair lay better, and be straighter.



PLEASE don't chemically straighten it, because it is really great to have the option to wear your hair curly or straight - and chemicals really mess up the health of your hair.



Pin straight hair??

Well, there's no way to make it completely flawless for long periods of time, but for me, I use a Remington Wet-2-Straight hair straightener, on level 30 heat, and when i'm done with it I use Suave level 10 stay spray and comb it through. It works pretty well for me, but the ends of my hair do become wavy again after about 9 hours? But yeah, I definitely suggest you get a Remington hair straightener and some Suave level 10 ^.^



It works wonders =]



Pin straight hair??

just straighten your hair everyday



and use hairspray

Hair straightening question?

my mom was about to get me a hair straightener next week and i need to know a couple of things please. how often should i straighten my hair in order to prevent it from being damaged? 2) just in case my hair got damaged from straightening what should i do ?



Hair straightening question?

1) try not to straighten your hair everyday. especially if your hair is thin. for me i have thick hair, so i can straighten is daily without it getting too damaged. also conditioning your hair helps keep it healthy.



2) if you hair gets damaged, you can always get it cut. or at least trimmed just to get ride of dead ends.



Hair straightening question?

you can use hairsprays or mousse that protects your hair from heat styling.



Hair straightening question?

well i use mine pretty much everyday and i dont think my hair is that damaged, you should use product though before you straighten in!



Hair straightening question?

i use to use mine everyday and my hair is still awsome. i use colesteral treatments after washing my hair tho..



Hair straightening question?

hair straightening is bad for your hair period!! dont do it everyday..and if theres a day where your just sitting at home..let it air dry..it will keep all of the natural vitamins in it..even though straightening your hair is bad for you...you can purchase a serum which is like a clear type of oil/gel..put that in your hair (a dime sized amount) and rub it throughout your hair after you get out of the shower..then blowdry your hair and proceed to straighten it..dont straighten your hair wet



Hair straightening question?

There are many products that you can use which protect your hair from heat....



I used to straighten my hair everyday and my hair dressers would tell me how healthy and nice my hair is.... (i never colour it... ever)



You can tell when your hair is starting to feel it. it gets dry and brittle



Hair straightening question?

1. It's still going to be slightly damaged but once a week (or month) is good. Also, you should ALWAYS use heat protecting spray.



2. Stop using them(optional). Use shampoo and conditioner that fix your hair from damages. Go to a hair salon and get a trim to get rid of your split ends.



Hair straightening question?

I straighten my hair twice a week and to help prevent damage i use a spray that has a thermal shield. You can also use a product that helps prevent split ends.



Hair straightening question?

Always straighten dry, never wet hair.



And be sure to apply a thermal flat iron spray, or any other product that encourages hair protection during heat styling.



Never hold the straightener over one area of hair for too long.



Straighten your hair as often as you feel necessary for your style, but if you begin to notice damage, you might consider cutting back and investing in a good, heavy conditioner.



Hope this helps!



Hair straightening question?

I actually just did mine i do mine everyday and mine is healthy no damage ive been doing mine for 2 years now i wouldnt worry



Hair straightening question?

use gloves when applying... do not shower after two days. let it stay for awhile... do not use plastic combs that can cause static. to avoid damage, use conditioner for your hair. you may straighten it every 5 to 6 months perhaps..



Hair straightening question?

I straighten my hair about twice a week and have never noticed any damage. If you are planning on doing it a lot, I would buy a shampoo and conditioner that are designed for people who use heat products a lot. The only one I can think of right now is Thermasilk, but I'm sure there are tons. They are designed specifically to hold all of the moisture, vitamins, etc. that your hair lose when you blow dry/straighten a lot.



Hair straightening question?

you can straighten your hair everyday as long as you do not color or perm your hair, but always use professional products..use a leave- in hair re-constructer as your conditioner and do not use high heat on your iron. The straightening irons that are the best have ceramic plates and those are not as harmful as the cheaper models. Getting your hair trimmed ever 6-8 weeks will keep your hair in nice condition.



Hair straightening question?

use a hair serum very important!! make sure u buy one that is specially for protecting straightened hair. then lightly put it in yer hair or just follow the directions, it wont get damaged with this, but u mite get split ends. or if u hav a bad straightener it will b damaged, also u mite not want to straiten it EVERYdAY but u kno just keep it in moderation



Hair straightening question?

as long as you used a hydrating conditioner its not a problem (so your hair doesn't dry out making it more prone to breakage)



unless your hair is thin, weak, breaks easily



best hair straightner is a CHI

I'm doing my friends hair tomorrow and she won't let me use a straightener or a curler , i

well, you could always go with a nice french braid (if you know how to do them), or you could put her hair half up and half down with chop sticks in the bun part, but it really depends on what type of look your friend is looking for.



I'm doing my friends hair tomorrow and she won't let me use a straightener or a curler , i need some ideas

what about hot rollers?



I'm doing my friends hair tomorrow and she won't let me use a straightener or a curler , i need some ideas

Rollers are a good option. If the reason she won't let you use a straightener or curler is because she doesn't want to damage her hair with heat, you can use velcro rollers with damp hair to get loose curls.



I'm doing my friends hair tomorrow and she won't let me use a straightener or a curler , i need some ideas

You could put in dry rollers when her hair is wet and blow dry.



If her hair is long it will give her a wave look, and if it is short it will curl really nicely.



You could also put her hair up and make a buffon look. What you need to do is backcomb the underside of her hair then pin it back (or if long enough use a ponytail). Then take a small comb and brush over the top to even out bumps... should stay up all night. Then top of with hair spray.

How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

tHE Cheap Ones SIMPLY do NOT Work as well as tHE Good ONEs !



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

clothes iron works



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

okay so youve heard the Chi is the best straightener at 100 dollars well you can get the ceramic knock off at 30 dollars and it great and no chemichals needed - maybe a protective shampoo for heat.



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

Just buy a straightener from Wal-Mart. They work just as well and they cost $15-$30.



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

tresemme has great hair products for protecting your hair when using anything with heat, and they're not that expensive... I get the spray and just lightly spray all over my hair before I straighten it.. it also helps take away the frizz... they also have a straightening gel that you can use before straightening... haven't tried that yet but so far the spray is working great for me



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

The cheap ones do not work as well as the Chi. Spend the money and get a good product.



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

ok well your going to have problems if you dont want an expnsive one. THATS WHYY THERE ARE EXPENSIVE DUHh!! well i hve to say is buy a really nice protecting spray to go with your cheapo straightnerr.



How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

dont ever use an iron like the first person said, that it so bad for your hairs its not even funny, but get a heat protectant spray and a cheap straightenr, the cheap straighteners are a lot easier to replace after a while, and they work pretty good

How do i straighten my hair safely without spending a ton on a high tech straightener?

Products you will need:



1. Permanent Straightener



2. Straightening Gel



3. Thermal Spray



4. Flat Iron



5. Blow Dryer (at least 1875 Watts)



6. A good shampoo and conditioner



1. If you have a Sally Beauty Supply nearby, purchase "Curl Remover", the brand is One n Only. It's a permanent straightener. It's not harsh and they will sell that particular one to anybody, you don't have to be licensed. I use it and it don't fry my hair. They have 3 different formulas, one is normal, one is for if you have color in it and one is for if you have highlights. Make sure you get the right one. It's about $8.00.



2. Also, in their generic line, pick up some "Straightening Gel: Compare to Paul Mitchell Straight Works". It's in a black and white tube. It's about $6.00 and lasts a long time.



3. Pick up some Thermal Spray, it's a must have if you're going to use a flat iron. You will need it to protect your ends.



I don't recommend getting Ion: Heat Protection from Sally Beauty, it's too greasy. They may have something else there. I use the Matrix Sleek Look and I think it's the best. You can get it at Wal-Mart's Smart Style the cheapest, it's about $12.00. They have an off brand version of it at Sally Beauty called Slickline Thermal Iron Smoother, about $7.00. I've never tried it but for a cheaper product, I would say it would be the best you can get.



4. The best flat iron to get is the Paul Mitchell one. It's black and green and will run you about $130.00. It goes to 400 degrees and won't fry your hair as long as you're using thermal spray. If you can't afford it, Sally Beauty has a ceramic one in their generic line that compares to CHI. It's about $50.00 and heats up to 410 degrees. If you have to go with a Wal-Mart one, get a ceramic one. I don't care for Conair products, so I would recommend a Revlon or a Remington.



6. With shampoo and conditioner, you get what you pay for. Stay away from anything that is not sold in a salon and be careful what you buy at Sally Beauty. The only thing I will use at Sally Beauty is Park Avenue SOFT by Naturelle, which is generic for Redken All Soft. I like Matrix Sleek Look and Redken All Soft the best. They can be purchased at a hair salon or the Smart Style at Wal Mart. Matrix is on sale frequently 2 liters for $24.



When you can find a sale like that, you really come out cheaper in the long run when you can get it that way than buying $3 - $5 products because you don't have to use near as much of it and you're getting a larger quantity at a better price.



What to do with these products:



Follow the instructions precisely on the permanent straightener. Repeat every 6 weeks.



Use your shampoo and conditioner, try not to wash your hair everyday. If you smoke like I do, you really have no choice. It's better not to.



When you do wash, put a nickel size amount of the straightening gel in your hair and dry it. Don't brush it while you dry it, only use your finger tips. Brushing it will break it.



After it's dry, it should only need the least bit of straightening with the iron. Spray in the thermal spray, ensuring that you get the roots good, that's the most important part and run the iron through it. You will have to keep adjusting the temp. at first to find what suits you the most.

Can lice survive hair straighteners?

I straighten my hair every day with a extremely hot hair iron.



I'm just curious because my heads itchy, I'm thinking that is might just be dry scalp from the heat because last time there was no lice. but that was quite along time ago. anyway :



Can lice survive hair straighteners?

Yes lice can survive hair straighteners. I had lice a year ago and I always straighten my hair. And I actually had it so bad that I had to use the whole lice treatment 3 seperate times in a month because they kept coming back.



It wont hurt to just go and get a lice treatment thing from the drug store. Also try putting extra conditioner in your hair and maybe like something to soften you scalp after you straighten your hair [[I use biosilk]]



Can lice survive hair straighteners?

haha, yes. lice can survive hair straighteners. They don't just live on the hair, they're on your scalp, and I don't think you apply the iron to your scalp, do you?



Yes, you're just overdoing it with the straightening. Try getting some really nice thick conditioner and working it right into the scalp once or twice a week. normally you just use it on the ends so your hair won't get greasy, but you need a little help with your scalp obviously. How often do you wash your hair? If you have a sensitive scalp, this might be irritating it if you wash it every day. Everyone has their preference, and I shower every day, but sometimes it helps to skip a day, or at least not wash your hair.



If it gets really bad, lay off on the straightening for a while. All that pulling on your hair is driving your papulie mad!



Can lice survive hair straighteners?

If your head is itchy, it probably is a bit irritated from the heat of your strait iron, like you thought. That happened to me... I thought i had it and i was all like, WOAH! but, nothing was there. Just in case, go check again as a precaution. As for the original question... I think they can survive hair straiteners, because they live in your scalp, and you don't touch your scalp with your straightener.. :P idk.. I think if they can survive hot water showers without drowning or dying from being smothered in shampoo, they can survive the close heat from your hair straightener.

Hair relaxer???

Okay I'm a dude, and I like my hair straight-ish, but its too short for a hair straightener so i use hair relaxer....the thing is, ive tried alot, but none have been THAT great, my question is, is there a particular brand that has given you really good results? thanks a bunch for the help



Hair relaxer???

I'm not sure what grade of hair you have. I have a fine grade and relax my hair once a year - hate summer humidity at the beach. Anywho, I use Optimum Super. My friends who relax their regularly all think I am crazy and think it is too strong, but it works wonderful. Just make sure to condition regularly! I use Infusium leave in conditioner.



Hair relaxer???

well let me tell you something bout hair.i live in the south shore and no body knows how to cut hair around here.



so i went up north towards Boston and i found the best hair dressers ever.i get whats called the BLOWOUT if u know what I'm talking about so my hair is straight and i use just conditioner and that's it.



Hair relaxer???

Soft and Beautiful - It's very mild.
