My hair will not straighten?

Question

I have GHD straighteners and it is very hard to get my hair straight. when i straighten my fringe it just sort of goes to one side. My hair is quite long at the back in a sort of mullet style and when i straighten it at the back it just sort of moves to one side as well. When i straighten my side burns they just go curly! any tips to combat this.

Thanks

Answer 1

always use heat protection spray :)

it works better.

Answer 2

Use A Hair Serum Which Will Help To Keep you Hair Straight .,. I Suffered With The Same Problem And I Used The Advance Techniques Hair Straightening Serum .. Its really good And It Keeps your Hair Straight :) . x

Answer 3

Maybe your straightener isn't hot enough for the thickness of your hair?  I'm not sure what a GHD straightener is, but I have one with mutliple heat settings.  Try that.

Answer 4

leave in conditioner.

Answer 5

get a hair iron!! that is what i use!!

and then get wax(sort of like hair gel but waxy)

use very minimum ammount of it!! it will help ur hair not to be ruiened!!!

Answer 6

go with a "Sedu" straightener, it goes up to 200 degrees i believe, so you should keep it on 200 and straight your hair, go over the hair more than once, and go slowly and separate it into parts.

Answer 7

use straightening shampoo it will help a little bit, and is it a wet dry?? or just for dry hair? if its just for dry hair then i dont have any suggestions other than get a new straightener, and if its a wetdry to using it when ur hair is wet so it drys stright.,

Answer 8

get a friend to place your hair on a baord and iron it.

Answer 9

Are you just straighting it, without any chemicals? I suggest an anti frizz serum, or an anti curly one. You can find them at walgreens,cvs, sally's, etc. If you wanted to, you could go to a place to get it chemically straighten..

Answer 10

Use hair products designed to help straighten hair

Answer 11

Well, try some straightening shampoo. I use Herbal Essences. Its in the pink bottle.

Then just put pomade in it then try to straighten it.

Answer 12

My tips:

- Leave GHD's  to heat up for longer

- Go from the root of your hair and work VERY slowly down.

- Hold at/near the roots for longer than the rest- not by a long time, just enough to help it stay down.

- Straighten by taking the hair and holding it up, and go with it. (Leaves a bit of "oomph")

IF all else fails, use a blow dryer & comb.

Answer 13

Try using straightning gel after you get out of the shower
