I really need help because i have wavy hair and with that choppy layers so i look awful when my hair is not straightened or at leat any hair styles i can do

Answer 1

Besides permanently straightening, (Which i won't tell you all about because i see this is a temporary problem,) There are shampoos/conditioners that will help keep hair straight. I use Herbal Essences 'dangerously straight' shampoo/conditioner.

Also, you can try to blow dry your hair straight.

When its wet, take a brush, and run it through your hair as you're blow drying it. If that makes sense... This doesn't work for me, because I'm bad at it.

You can also straighten your hair with a curling iron, if you have one. It's difficult and it takes a lot of time.

If nothing works, I say ponytails:] (and if you have bangs use the curling iron technique.)

Hope i helped!

Answer 3

You can blow dry it. It takes a while but straightens as well. You can also try a lot of gel to keep the hair in place.

Answer 4

You can straighten it with something hot eg. Blow dryer and with a brush.

Answer 5

I have exactly the same kind of hair.

Blow dry it out on a round or paddle brush, starting on underlayers and working your way to the top.  There are many shampoos/conditioners that will help straighten and smooth it, but you'll still need to style it.  The products won't do it all on their own!

I'd just either blow it out, or get an inexpensive flatiron for now.  I have a cheapo ($20?) Conair from Target, and it's really not that bad.  Not as good as a fancy one, but it works in a pinch!  Also, then you'd always have a backup just in case your nice one burns out, or you leave it someplace again.

Good luck!

well you could get it chemically straightened, although I would not recommend that, I think it damages your hair pretty bad.

You could use straightening shampoo but it doesn't always work that well.

Maybe try putting your hair up for a few days?
