Answer 1

get your hair chemically straightened. its just like a perm but permed straight i have one at i absolutley love it

Answer 2

you should straighten your hair and then use hair gel AND hairspray to keep it straight. Good Luck!

Answer 3

By some straightening balm and rub in through your hair while it's wet and then blow dry it while pulling it through with a brush. Then straighten it with a porcelain flat iron that can heat up to 400 degrees. Spray it with some finishing spray afterwords and I hope this helps.

Answer 4

Depends what hair straightener you use. you can't expect a cheap one to give good results as they just don't heat up enough.

Use smaller sections of hair when you are straightening this always helps and never straighten your hair WITHOUT using a product. Not only do they help with the end result but they protect your hair from the heat.

I recommend you use a GHD straightener with GHD heat defence spray. However if the cost factor is a issue anything at the local supermarket will do but try and buy a more expensive product.

Also blow dry your hair before using your iron.

Answer 5

Ur hair is gorgeous :)

But in the 2nd photo it doesnt look straight, it looks wavey (still looks pretty)

Ive got hair like yours and i straighten it almost everyday and have for the last year.

It takes time but after a month or so you get the hang off it.

1stly you need a heat protective&friz treatment. Ask your hair dresser or someone that knows your hair. i use "crystal...." (i cnt remember the whole name bt its crystal sumthing and in a clear bottle.about $20 a bottle)

You need to put your hair into sections

by slipting it in half, and then layers.

start at the bottom and slowly straighten your hair. Use hair Clips and after your straighten part of your hair put it up so it doesnt get mixed up with the non straight hair.

Its going to take more then 15minutes to do it propely.&&the better you do it the longer it will last.

You do need a product, whether it be a heat protective product or a frizz one.

When i do this to my hair it last like..4 days :) and i have hair like yours.

If you find it hard to do the back. just practise or ask someone to help you.

Goodluck Hunny

&&if u need more help, ask me.

Answer 8

you need to do a better job like take ur time i mean u have to go slow and u littler parts or maybe u just should keep it curly

Answer 9

when you get out of the shower, use a straightening mousse.

then before you straighten hair, use a heat protector.

when yur done straightening it, use a little hairspray.

good luck.

Answer 10

u can try wella.. but the best thing is to get your hair rebonded in a saloon.

Answer 11

As soon as you get out of the shower, spray a straightening spray in your hair (herbal essences makes a good one) and then a heat protector product. Then straighten your hair thouroughly going back a few times to make sure it really got the treatment. Comb it through.

Wait for your hair to reach the damp stage and then repeat the steps above. And then again for when your is dry.

Conair makes a good straightener, but it's very small. Treseme also makes a good heat protectant and a nice finishing spray to prevent frizz.

Or save yourself the work and get a permanent.

Goodluck!

Answer 12

Kerastase (below) relaxing serum - it's a little on the pricy side, but it works wonders! I use it with a CHI straightner, which I think they now carry at Target for around $100.

Answer 17

Make sure you don't touch your hair too much when it is still warm from the flat iron, wait till it is completely cool to brush your hair, etc.
