Question

I use a flat iron, but it is starting to damage my hair ( I have medium thick, wave, long, hair.... So every now and then I use a blow dryer to try to straighten it, but it makes my hair frizzy!!!!!! What do I do?! I'll still use my iron, but what about when i use my blow dryer? Help pweese! =3

Answer 1

I reccomend you use a 2-3 inch round brush (2 if your hair is thinner and definitely 3 if its normal or thick) and dry your hair with that and your dryer. i use Frizz Ease straightening spray on my wet hair and then dry. I then touch up any wavy spots with my straightening iron. After my hair's totally dry i put a small amount of this great stuff called BioSilk on my hands and just run my fingers through my hair which keeps it shiny and smooth and frizz free!  

Answer 2

Products!  Try a smoothing mousse beforehand, or a shine product after blowing, and brush through.  It also helps to blow dry as soon as possible after washing, using a round brush to pull it straight as it dries.

Answer 3

use a round brush and make sure you use a good heat protectant when you flat iron redken makes wonderful products i have curly aka nappy huir to so i feel on that one lol

Answer 4

i've blow dryed/ straightened my hair pretty much every day since i was 12 and now i am 18 so my hair is heat damaged and kinda frizzy! it's really thick too but mine is straight. i use redken heat glide on my wet hair a long with got2be tipsy split end mender.. i use quite a lot of both of these and it tames the frizz a lot. i also use all soft shampoo /condition by redken. it makes it so so soft! i use a diffuser on my blow dryer (the cone lookin thing that goes on the end). then i straighten and that helps the frizz to go down after.

Answer 5

you should try heat defense ...dont remember who its made by but its in a red spray bottle...me and all by sisters live for our straight irons and blowdryers...this really helped our hair.

Answer 6

you should start with a good shampoo and conditioner specifically for your hair type.  Matrix has a whole line called Sleek. It's great for your hair type!  There's a shampoo, conditioner, styling cream (to protect your hair while you blow dry and aid you in the straightening process), a flat iron spray (to use section by section while you flat iron), a hairspray and I believe it helps block the humidity.  

Paul Mitchell makes a line called Super Skinny! I love that one the best.  The Shampoo, Conditioner and the styling aid all cut down your blow drying time down by like 50%!!!! and talk about straight and smooth? good stuff!!  I use it on my clients all the time :)
